    They're doing a fix. I just had the "bug" dilithium removed from my account.

    Looks like mine is gone as well

    We should have known DB greed wouldn't give that much away free to however 'small' number

    I don’t really see it as greed. Not if people really did get hundreds of thousands of dilithium. As far as resolutions go, it seems pretty fair

    I was referring to motivation for their speedy reversal of the bugged dil

    Yep, if it was an issue causing problems to the player base and not the bottom line the pack would still be up.

    This reminds me of how the Klingons said that there was “an indicent” on Praxis after it blew up.

    Sulu’s like “An incident?!”

    Meanwhile, the bug report for the AND shuttle issue was opened over two months ago without an update.

    Well, I agree with you there. Anything that could lower their revenue even slightly gets jumped on instantly versus some of the bugs that have been out there that really hurt players and have been out there forever. But to be fair, they are a business and profit is their goal. So resources are going to be prioritized accordingly

    It's not greed, it's their livelihood, how they get money for beer and food.

    Leaving players with 1000s of free dil will mean those players will spend less foe a while.

    Some are now reporting having negative dilithium.

    We've been agreeing, pretty much all day.....'til now. 😀

    So here's the day, in a nutshell: DB has an epic...monumental fail. We all raise hell. Hours later we're told, "...we got this.... we'll fix it...take our word for it.". Ain't that sweet. A purported fix that nobody but DB could ever confirm (in total), and that we can't really question because it demands blind faith.

    They call this road Zero Accountability Drive. Runs right through the city of Our Players are Dummies, in the county of So Start Spending Again.

    100% Unacceptable.

    Most likely those who spent some of their free dil. Serves them right

    That would make perfect sense. If someone spent all of it I could see it taking them negative and it would then take a customer service ticket to resolve it on a case-by-case basis where they would have to give up other gains that they received from it

    Why are we talking about banning players? The players aren't the problem here.

    If you exploit something like this it can legally be considered theft (same as if a cash machine starts paying out the wrong money).

    Anyone doing this multiple times could easily face a ban

    But what happens to the dili which comes from the vip points? It's not taken away...
    I know a guy, who got 15k extra dili. Now it's reduced to a plus of 6850

    We don’t know if they’re done adjusting things yet.

    man, now i wish i caught this bug before they pulled it.

    I would gladly trade a -200k dil balance for a full set of crew slots and a truckload of FFed legendaries. Heck, i'd even continue buying monthly cards to chip away at it!

    In game communication says we can keep the DIL from the first pack, everything else will be undone

    This is the dumbest fix of all time. So, if I'm in the negative, I just walk away. It's never repaid. So DB is in the business of extending credit now? Oh, oh, oh....where do I apply for a DB SimplyStupid Visa? Do I need excellent credit? 🙄

    So the negative dilithium picture must be fake, they say any content you bought with it will be undone as well

    And we'll never know, and have no way of knowing; because there is no accountability or transparency in steps taken and scenarios gone through.

    May be the result of some bad or incomplete rewinding too.

    All other players get a free pack then?

    If you have purchased that pack before it was pulled down, and something does not look right, please contact Support. Thank you!

    So then we could convert all our excess VIP points into rewards points...which then could be converted into cash and then back into dilitium?

  • @Shan once again: what happens to the dili from the vip points? I know a guy who has still 6850 dili more than he should have...
