It sounds a bit harsh to ban people. It is not only these people that are affected by this decision but also the coops they play in.
We put up with a waterfall of bugs and to punish people like this for a bug they did not cause....???
[email protected] / Member of the Dutch coop "Zeeuwsche Unie"
The wording of the announcement worries me as well,
Quote: "- In addition, over 4,000 players will receive a temporary ban in the next days due to their large gain of dollars. It is very unfair to players who did not gain the dollars that some have been able to purchase boosters for events, expansions and various other items with. Therefore in many cases it was not enough to just remove the dollars"
In the next few days? Are we still at risk of being banned?
....thank you!
I would guess that if all you did was sell items normally and spent normally, the additional money would just be deducted and that's it.
recently this game has so much bugs every day and now they punished us for their mistakes,i want to know why we should punished????
i was 3rd in CHWE and my husband was 2nd in CHWE with his account and with this bug all of our hard working Lost !!!
we sold some of our products because always do this work when we want to collect our extra products and now ggs said that they removed our dollars, i want to know how can they find out the amounts of our dollars before this bug?????!!!!!
if they got our dollars that we had before the bugs; we (my husband and i) put aside this game for ever, because we lost our time and our farm and the dollars of farms that COLLECTED WITH HARD WORKS NOT WITH THE BUG
"I can take it from others, but others can not take it from me.
If I take it, I'll take it all and still put it out "
When they mess up something we have to wait few days just to get some info about what happened and if we're lucky, we get something useless or not worth the effort we put into the event/whatever that was bugged.
Well, only if we're damaged side.
If we somehow damage their interests, they react in few hours and resolve the issue.
Hey, they fixed the issue, found 4.000 players that made a profit from the bug and managed to hand out the bans! Everything done in less than SIX HOURS!!! But somehow, last week when CC disappeared, when CWHE wasn't working as it's supposed, three days passed before they said "We don't know what happened."
I can't wait to see the next mistake you guys will make. Pfff...
I agre with you :-(
and also about the the original look of snowy barn back .. i remove it because really less beautiful.

Due to a critical issue the CHWE had to be stopped for another small hotfix. This hotfix is unrelated to the CHWE which seems to be working but it is important that the issue be repaired as soon as possible. After the hotfix the event will begin again and can be played as normal, players will keep any activity rewards they have already and any boosters they have purchased will still work as long as they do not run out before the event starts again.
CHWE will restart around 16:30 CET
the problem was not caused by the chwe.... it was reported by players. the chwe had to be shut down to stop and correct the problem causing the large sale prices and correct the amounts people received in error. to me, it sounds like the amounts were very, very large and quite obvious and those that abused the glitch continued to make and sell large amounts of said products... otherwise they would have just fixed the problem and moved on... if you are in a co-op where someone did this, you may have also benefited from it and had an unfair advantage over others that did not... it does not seem to me that ggs is being vindictive or trying harm players. players certainly did not create this bug but apparently some 4000 took advantage of it and are now paying the consequences of their actions. that is no different than taking money that is not yours when you know who it belongs to.
Or it was like a super boost to repair all that have been lost last days !
and players who have benefited of this have been able to make up for their lack for days and days, to spoil their coop, to buy land ... it was like the fire few days ago.
If I have been connected at this time, I have done like that, and says to all players in my coop: yeah, ggs have given a super boost ...
edit: and the bugs of ggs are very, very large and quite obvious that ggs abused - like the challenge of the last CHWE not done and not corrected without advertised

but I got informed that the last one will show the red circle w/ line through regardless of which time period GGS determine you were not "active" (mine on Monday already showed the circle at noon EST but for the last period)
this is not the first time GGS has not provided accurate credit for being online and active during the HH times.
i do not understand all the attacks to ggs. they are not forcing anyone to play any event or the game at all, that is a personal decision we all make. co-ops make similar decisions. if you don't like your co-ops choices there are plenty of others to join that align more with your playing habits but that is just what this is... playing. playing is fun. if playing is no longer fun, quit. it is not your job or livelihood at stake here... i understand complaining so they know what is not working but all this hatred is ridiculous imo... i see a lot of people saying ggs is not being very merry in this season, well, rarely here have i seen anyone acting jolly or merry this christmas here. ggs has not taken a holiday while all these problems are occurring, they are hard at work trying. they will never be able to please everyone, some will never be happy. you want new stuff and then complain when it doesn't work like they think it will right out of the gate, you want to stop events that don't work until they are fixed. i'm sure they don't intend to do put out a broken event, after all they are human and none of us perfect. this is not an airbag in a car that is killing people because it was released without testing. it is an internet game..... play and have fun, play what you want and leave the rest or just leave altogether. this does not seem productive to me it sounds like a bunch of complaining that gets no one anywhere. hate fuels hate an this, to me is all that is happening here.
The checkmarks start at the top and work their way down.
If you miss 1 Happy Hour, the bottom Happy Hour will have the "Ø" in it, because it is no longer possible to get all 3 Happy Hour bonuses. If you miss 2 Happy Hours, the middle and the bottom bonuses will have the "Ø" in them because it's no longer possible to get those bonuses. If you then miss the 3rd happy hour (the 18:00-21:00 one), then the last bonus available, the TOP one, will get the Ø.
If you're only online during 1 Happy Hour a day, say the 18:00-21:00 one, then only the TOP bonus will get activated (and thus, the checkmark).
You can't just log in once a day and expect to get the highest bonus (the bottom one). You have to work your way up to it by hitting all 3 happy hours.
And unlike GGS says, sometimes you can be "Online" during a Happy Hour and the game won't recognize it; sometimes you HAVE to log out and back in for it to register.
I don't even check anymore; I just automatically log out and in around 8AM, 1PM, and 7PM. Haven't missed a bonus since I started doing that.
You can't rely on "just being online" and getting credit for a happy hour. You HAVE to check.

I like play to bigfarm and don't like many of its bugs ;-) and there are a lot these last months.
I don't like management choices like TA coop that is very bugged, and with a bad mecanism.
I think all players have a lot of lost things.
When I play an event that is not new and works before, I don't think it is bugged, and don't play it.

No. But they DO remove the money equivalent to the mistake from your account.
Example:
Your bank balance is $100
$500 gets deposited to your account by mistake
Your balance is now $600
You spend the $500 thinking wow lottery! it's mine!
Your balance is now $100
The bank realizes their mistake, and removes the $500 from your bank.
Your balance is now -$400.
Being overdrawn is now ENTIRELY your fault, because you took advantage/exploited the mistake ("bug") of the bank.
If you are lucky, the bank will waive any overdraft fees as a courtesy, but since ultimately, the management and usage of your account is your responsibility, they are not obligated to do so.
Now, you used "change mistake" in your analogy, but my example still holds true, assuming the bank can track the change mistake to you. If, for example, they see on video they gave you too much change, they can - and will - correct it against your account and/or contact you to come back and correct it.
Just wow.
I'm SO glad after the first buggy round of the Christmas event I let it go.
I'm SO glad after the newness of the goldfish, I decided MILLIONS for a goldfish, only to put in a pool to increase happiness in a farm that does absolutely NOTHING to improve our own farms. Just takes resources to keep feeding, was not worth it and let it go.
The HWE? That I have pretty much let go since it was first introduced. Oh I will make a few of what ever he's asking for, IF I even can. (The fishing one usually asks for fish I don't even have.)
I get what few prizes I get and that's fine.
Goals worth spending real time her for? NON EXISTENT!
They were once. Events that come around almost non stop… once upon a time I could make the top prize. But people, if you keep leveling up and don't keep building up, you will be punished. I can BARELY get a mid grade prize now. It's just not worth it. I have other things to do much more fun than frustrating myself with events JUST out of reach.
Temp farms…. pfffft. Change the name to boring rerun farms. And again, I can never get past page 2 or what ever chapter, task. NEVER. No matter how hard I try or how much farm money is blown.
Letting them go most of the time. When I do play one its just for some seeds. Boring as all getout.
The banning of thousands of players for a bug on the games side, that's just absurd. And that one they sure jumped on fast. Now 4 thousand players will be angrily contacting support? Just how long will it take support to respond to all 4000 people I wonder. My guess is either never, or will send out a blanket automated note. With what result who knows. But what a mess. What ever they do for that group will be too little too late. Nothing like slapping your customers for a mistake YOU made.
Here's a thought. FIRE the programers who have proven they are so incompetent. Find people who know what they are doing.
And maybe STOP RUNNING EVENTS until everything is stable? I'm sure the players wouldn't mind just farming and cooling it off for awhile until you fix things.

.... did you read that?
it seems these amounts were huge.... so what that it was a ggs glitch in programming. that does not make it right or fair game play. if you rob a store, the most likely ban you from the store forever. you can be ban from any establishment for simply misbehaving...
on a different note..
i only farm what i want and play the events i want, temporary farms included. i agree that if you don't upgrade your features that it makes the events harder but just farming increases experience points if you use special seeds and you do not always make enough money to keep up with the cost of the upgrades, or at least i haven't been able to, or you don't want to miss an event because of the time required to upgrade items... all part of the game.. i don't know how people know what events are coming up, i have only seen a calendar during the wwc but i know now, no worries missing an event, it will come back around. that i did not know when i first started playing... some seasonal events tho would take a whole year and only if they do the same one, they could make it different.... i like the fishing region and fishing market. the contracts are worth spending the time on. the regular market, not so much. i enjoy this game, bugs and all. business do not try to upset customers... but i am not even a "customer"... i am a player... i have spent no money and don't intend to. this is just for fun. when it is no longer fun, i will stop. no nee to complain about. find something else to occupy my free time.
although, this game would get very boring without events very quickly. competition can be very healthy even when you are competing against an event/computer. i would say these people cheated because they took advantage of a flaw... would you teach your child to behave that way? i would not.. be honest and fair. don't cheat not just people but businesses as well. treat others as you would want to be treated... right???
Your bank error example ACTUALLY HAPPENED to me once. They made a 500.00 error in my favor. BUT I did not go spend it. I left it alone for years. Finally closed the account and switched banks. (note, I would not do that to an individual or small store. This was a huge national bank. Just a number on a ledger somewhere.
Now… This whole bank analogy does not apply to this game at all.
In the announcement they said it was FARM CASH that was given out. NOT GOLD. Farm dollars.
This is nothing but a meaningless number in a game. Fake money. If it were me I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Just went and upgraded something. Again NOT stealing from anyone. Upgrading fake objects, in a fake world on a flash game. And because some programmer somehow coded or didn't catch a code conflict in a game and this gave a few thousand players (world wide not that many) a very brief bonus? Again WHO CARES? Fix it and move on.
This doesn't begin to address all the players on here who DO spend real money to buy fake gold and lost it because some event was broken. (still is.) Those people can't "ban" the programers can they?
To use your example it would be like a bank teller taking money out of your account and there is not one thing you can do about it. But oh if they make an error and hand you some monopoly money, (worthless game money) then said you stole it so therefore your account has been emptied and your banned from returning to this bank. How idiotic would that be?
(Edited twice, I have no clue WHY half my post is in green. I wish we had an advanced editor on here. I understand simple HTML but can't see it to fix this. Oh well. Just read the text. It's not meant to be a quote. I only wanted to quote the persons user name. Not the rest.)
