MainzMan:
Lucky, I'm as mystified as anyone as to why a L200 player should be so keen to have the bug left in place and pay 18,000 credits for Premier Membership to boost the XP given by it.
I also agree that the Premier Membership still does what it was sold as doing and don't think a refund is likely or justified.
Maybe I'm having a sensitive day but I really don't think Dennis would have made a post like that. Hell, I've posted loads of massively insulting stuff so have no moral leg to stand on really.
To me it just wasn't in good taste, I probably should have kept my gob keyboard shut though.
No offence to you was intended. I think we're actually very much on the same page when it comes to this bug and it's removal.
For what it's worth....and no offence directed toward you........ I beg to differ....
First...regarding Dennis; he was an acquaintance of mine...not necessarily a friend. Perhaps you knew him well and / or better .... I dunno. This, being said.... in my opinion, He was "unfiltered" ..... which is what I admired and liked about him. I've seen him rip folks from a**hole to appetite..... and never blink nor look back. He was a "realist".... called balls and strikes, and jumped all over hypocrisy.... Which is just what this is.... Someone who purposely demonstrated "intent" to exploit a programming error, purchase a premium membership to further exploit, and then "whine" about it when the error is corrected...... One would think folks would have enough sense to enjoy whatever "ill gained" benefit they received, and move along..... and be happy they got away with it as long as they did..... certainly not the case here.
Secondly.... should someone find my comment insulting.... so be it. If that shoe fits, they can slide that puppy on and wear the hell out of it......
CEverette hit the nail on the head...... " There is more to this game than XPs . Cmon Man . " Much truth in that statement..... One would think, those who found benefit from the exploit would take what they got and move along... not the case here.
Many, as myself, could care less about XP's..... matter of fact, one could take that gazillion XP count and trade it in for what.............. NOTHING.
Moving back to insulting...... What I find "insulting" , which is what I was pointing out, is the "badgering" toward WGTChampion to actually give someone a refund. That's a joke in itself. Perhaps WGT should exercise the following language referenced in the "Terms & Conditions"
- Exploit any bug in the Site to gain unfair advantage in the game and communicate the existence of any such bug.
And, effectively terminate known accounts that used said "bug"....... in particular those who knowingly, with intent, used it over and over and over, each and every day, for over a year...... Gonna be hard to say " I knew about it, maybe did once or twice" when it's obvious they rode that horse as hard and fast as they could........ 'till if fell over and died.
Can you hear that noise? That's all the "clicking" of the delete buttons from folks who are ridding their profile pages and past forum post's of their willing communications regarding the "bug"....... many of which have posted and communicated detailed instruction on how to gain maximum value from the exploit.........
Perhaps you'll find these comments in "bad taste" as well...... that's up to you. Often time the truth has a bitter taste....
