Yeah, I'm not spending a penny of the dilithium that I got because I have no idea what the solution is going to be.
They can't take back dilithium that isn't there so this is going to be hugely messy.
Yeah, I know for sure some started spending it as soon as the bugged pack was pulled. I’m fully prepared for them to clawback the dil, but don’t know how you clawback something that’s not there.
They may be able to make people's dil negative. Then if those people ever want to have dil again, they've got to repay it.
Sisko: What are you gonna learn in the next few months that you haven't already learned in the last 300 years?
Ezri Dax: Oh, how to keep from breaking into tears for no reason...
I've no idea how the DB office is set up but I imagine Shan leaping up from her desk, running at high speed towards the programmer type people screaming 'take the pack down, take the pack DOWN!' before leaping over several desks and pressing some big red button that magically removes all the packs.
I wanted this pack, but I decided to wait until my OH is home from work. While I'm a little miffed that some players have had a massive advantage this afternoon, I'm also really happy to see those players that haven't spent any of it, and others that are honest enough to let DB know.
I definitely believe I am one who forgives DB more than others for errors. Downtime and errors happen but this is crazy.
There needs to be a rollback because this actually affects competitive balance and hurts people who have spent money to build up and save their dilithium.
DB can probably identify people who purchased packs but I think they need to be crystal clear on how this is going to be solved.
some players had access to a pack that cost 650 dil, but awarded 1000 dil for every purchase. they got free dilithium.
And the packs were in effect free too. Crew, honor...give everyone 10-20 free packs now. I need honor to citation some golds for my collections.
Why should i be disadvantaged by DB buggy packs. I'm vip 14. It's not like i haven't spent $$.
DB has just hugely devalued my money spent if they do nothing. And it's a sour taste.
There was no crew in those packs, just dilithium and vip points.
Thank you for letting me know! Slightly less sour now, lol.
It's still the single biggest error in the game's history. This is no joke. They need to have a legit reponse to this the likes of which we have never seen.

Happy to help. For the record, I only opened those packs on one account. I actually bought a little dilithium to open them. I also spent a portion of rhe dilithium, but I am holding onto most of it.

PR-wise and severity, this is up there with the email scandal that resulted in Mirror Spock for all involved.

Haha...the mirror Spock scandal...you mean the assimilated Spock scandal where they took my leveled assimilated Spock and gave me a janitor Spock in his place? This is 100x worse. ONE HUNDRED TIMES WORSE than that.

Without doubt, the most impactful blunder in an illustrious couple of years, I'm afraid. I'll say that, publicly and without reservation, if DB tries to close the circle here with a premium pull or two and some sorrytons, the door won't hit me in the behind on the way out.

This is arguably worse. Anyone can get hacked and lose customer data. These folks were sloppy and it got completely exposed today. This is an epic own goal.
What do you mean? It's not the first nor the worst technical issue occurred.
No, not the first. However, I'm curious as to what you think was worse...
Ya for all the time I have played this is probably up there and to me it ranks #1...
Now I will not say this ruined the game for everyone because I think we need to be fair and let DB come up with a solution. Lets give Shan and DB time to correct and then depending on result I feel the community has a right to file tickets and bring up concerns if people are worried.

Massive, massive mistake. I wasn't around at the very beginning, so I missed the email thing (though I heard about it afterward), but this is by far the biggest error in my time in the game, and it's a very, very difficult one to correct because it impacts different players differently; blanket compensation won't do the trick, at least not alone.

No, I meant Mirror Spock when they spammed out everyone's email addresses and compensated with the unreleased Mirror Spock. I had forgotten all about the Assimilated Spock fiasco!

That runs the risk of having those folks never buy again, except maybe the monthly card.

Different scandal regarding leaked customer data.
End of discuss.
