But, the issue isn't really about the players who may have gained an unfair advantage -- it's about an error-riddled game, one which put the onus of responsibility on players should it happen again -- when, in fact, the responsibility to insure such mistakes don't happen in the future, should rest entirely with the game.
I feel bad for those that were punished by GGS through no fault of their own, And sad that so many long time players feel their only option is to leave the game. I'm also concerned that this could happen to me someday. I don't always pay attention to prices i'm getting when selling things and i think if i had to be that diligent about every little thing, i would lose a lot of enjoyment of the game. right now, i'm afraid to sell my excess fish and buy land. will i be blocked from playing? GGS said in their apology that they would do this again if they made another mistake and prices were too high (quote: "bans may be placed in future for use of such bugs.") This sounds more like a threat to me than any kind of apology.
I like my farm, even some of the competitions (when they work), but i'm not sure i want to spend any more real money on a game that could blame me for their errors, take all my game money, (and maybe gold?), block me from the game, and never try to fix it even if they admit they were wrong.
Or maybe they will decide to block me just for making comments on the forum? It's very sad that I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
As I worked my farm, I sold excess supplies because my barn was full. I did not sell extra, and I did not notice at the time that they gave me more money than was intended. After having been banned for "exploiting the game", I was allowed to return. The only money missing from my account was the "extra" that I was given in error. The remainder of my money was there. I believe, if I have read the forum correctly, that I received my money back because I did not spend the extra money given to me. They were clear that there would not be any compensation for the time missed because of the ban, so no. there was no compensation.

I would also appreciate if someone could tell me where to address my questions about the horse tournaments. In the last 4 of them I finish in the Platinum league but end up with staff from the Gold one. Thanks
Thanks
1. I'm sorry but this is JUST a game. Game money earned in the game and spent in the game is NOT real money. I'm sorry for everyone who thinks it is, it's not. GOLD is…. but the issue wasn't about gold. Just farm money. Tell me it's real? I'll say just try to make a withdraw and bring it to your bank. Be laughed right out the door you would. This is a game and game money is just a number in the game.
Now yes, you should not have been given a winfall for nothing. But that was a mistake BY THE GAME DEVELOPERS not the players who got and spent money. How many times has the game TAKEN money with broken this that or what evers? But THAT'S ok. Can't ban them can we?
I for one, (and I know a few other said the same thing) wouldn't have even noticed. I play three big farms, and most times I get on here I click to harvest everything, wait for the flying junk to settle, replant, reset, go fill any contracts I can, send the boat on it's way, train and race the horses, lastly, IF I can afford an upgrade or buy some new something I do. All without even paying any attention to what paid me what.
I hear this glitch was to do with the flower farm goods. Well I normally keep full barns and just click sell every time I harvest honey cream. I swear I would not notice if a big amount landed in my account. It's so rare I have enough to buy anything I don't often look.
2. Competitions. Again… I HATE how this game has gone. I do run my own coop on the UK server and after the first broken round of the Christmas thing, I sent my whole coop a note asking if we should all just ignore these high pressure events and got an overwhelming YES! So that's what we do there. Easy does it. No pressure on these gotta win things. And I gave up long ago on the whole coop village. Told them all the same. If they want to feed it fine. If anyone asks me for help I will but so far that hasn't come up. That's just a resource drain for nothing.
now I am a member in two really big coops who do try with these. One person keep asking me to donate this that and the other for the Christmas thing. I have tried to explain what a lost cause this is and no. I'm out.
I get back how well she is doing and blah blah… to which I say "Have you LOOKED in the forums? NO ONE has anything good to say about this event. Even after it came back, numbers are so insane… times adjusted in mid stream, and yet for some reason I will never comprehend, people are still playing it.
WHY? Is your need to "win" so great you can't see your feeding a beast by participating in something that is
A. Bad idea, didn't work last year and they knew it.
B. BROKEN. Stopped because it was… restarted, times adjusted in mid stream… BROKEN.
C. Puts pressure on coop leaders to push, boot, nag players…. puts pressure on people who just want a relaxing past time not a full time job. WHY?
3. now this latest thing with banning people for a mistake…. and the only mistake the PLAYERS made was not catching the mistake IN THE GAME that gave them extra money.
And yes, I know some did, some actually informed GG. Some probably saw it and took advantage.
Well to that I say how would anyone know who saw it and took advantage vs didn't even notice at all?
Either way, kicking out players, some of them have been here for YEARS. Is just plain STUPID.
And what about the "economics of the game" now? Those players who are IN TEAMS who are all working towards these pushy competitions? The whole team gets punished on top of the few who got banned.
Seems GG did an about face on the banning and restored players.
Yea well…. too little too late I'm sure. Those are your customers here. Treated like disposable trash.
Bad bad… oh so bad an idea. SO many better ways this could have been handled.
Starting with FIX THE BUG THAT CAUSED THIS WHOLE MESS FIRST! Then calmly and rationally try to figure out who got what and how to adjust things accordingly.
Finally, I just can't bring myself to play. Actually kind of afraid to now since I do click through, harvest, sell off extra and never even look at amounts. Might be me getting banned because of a game glitch.
I think I'll go at least check in with my coops, send them all a note that I'm taking the rest of this holiday season off. The two real competitive ones may boot me if they so choose. If GG ever gets their act together here, I can always rejoin, or just join a smaller, less competitive one.
Found TONS of great games on line yesterday. One I actually bought years ago and lost it on an old dead computer. Had to find it again. Got it running as we speak. I know one thing, in my game shopping, ANYTHING that says GoodGame on it, got ignored.
Needed to sell some inventory to get the $$...
Just letting you know in case you now decide those upgrades are ban-able - after all its going to SHAKE the ECONOMY of BigFarm forever and will definitely give me an advantage over some other players. ***cheeky SMILE***
It is never good to talk by GGS for me. It is an insult. You should make more than 5000 SOAP in week 3, in the 4th week more than 6000 and you shed is full and sells them, every half hour and you will be blocked. I've never been so angry and still. There you play 8 years at GGS, first 3 years Farmer and now 5 years Big Farm and then an excuse and nothing else. I didn't notice that I was at the more than 500 million that I had and still have, really have benefited from this bug and I have not, otherwise I have the 600 million had with every half hour soaps. They do but with you what they want. It is that I am in a coop is where there are a lot of people sitting that I already knew at Farmer, otherwise I went away
REALLY AN INSULT.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
I don't care how much they change it, or if they change it, next year. We probably will not be participating.
even if only 1% of the coops take part in the event they will put it again
and have you ever thougt about the twins gifts to help the membres ?
use the chat to comunicate ^^
this auto pilot game isn't doing something t only player can get something like $ and after that ban
Update: Got Santa's Postbox -- thank you!
