@Southern (US1) go get you pitchfork ready !!!!!
On UK server, we have reached 300 million points.
We have done that without using boosters, so I can see how other large coops like ours or even larger coops (not on our server, we are the largest coop on UK1) can pass the billion points if they add boosters
You assumed that those coops with their billion point have received 5000 times the 50 rewards. Your assumption is not only wrong, is preposterous
My coop mates and I have received those rewards only once. Hence we can assume that coops that have 4 times as many points as we have, received those rewards a maximum of 5 times, or even better they received them only once, same as we did
GGS has got a lot of explaining to do, cant just go around telling stories and pretend we believe them
I don't trust it. they say duplicates but i didn't even get 3 only 2 lol but yeah they can have the 30,000 speed fertilizer. I don't know what happened between the past 6 days and this challange but it's like it went nuts and keeps adding that fertilizer to my total and only that fertilizer. i mean if it's going to glitch give me something good hahaha. my issue is i'm a gaming hoarder. so i hoard my seaweed stuff because it's so rare. I don't want them looking at it and going aha and taking what i have saved up over months. I had over 1000 seaweed fertilizer for orchards so i could speed though the apple stuff on the deco events. they take that i will seriously cry.
I've written down my seaweed items totals anyway, just so I have something to complain about later if they come up missing.
Excellent idea, in fact most of his messages are disrespectful one way or another, this last one is no exception @CM@CM_Hunter
anyone that has managed to rack up multiples of the big prizes probably used a fair amount of seaweed and gold to push harvests in order to get a score big enough to get the prizes more than once, and that's not even counting running bonuses for gold.
of course, GGS will be refunding all THAT gold and seaweed used BEFORE they remove the prizes won, since that would be only fair.
oh golly, I'm so funny.... I crack myself up!!!
by the way GGS, if your goal with this event was to identify and enrage your biggest gold buyers..... I'm pretty sure you nailed it!!! give yourself a pat on the back, you did manage to accomplish something!
We spent gold and seaweed, clover, rakes and brushes. How will this be taken into account? People used resources to stuff personal rewards and not spend time in the game. Now they will lose everything because of this?
Let me recall the case when the goods on the farm began to cost insane money (it was a bug) and many people took advantage of this and build the storage of Leicester and Lab to level 100. For some reason, these buildings were not demolished. Is it fair?
You say that some players have received the rewards more than once by winning them all and then starting again.
To have done so means they have been very active during this event - why not leave those rewards alone as a thank-you to the players that have put all that effort in. And no, before anyone asks I have not received duplicates, but yes I did collect all 50 rewards and will be disgusted if they remove any of them from my account.
You say you will only remove critical items - thats laughable. What is critical? to a new player everything, to a very high level farmer, probably only the gml's, to mid level players a mixture. So who are you targeting here? Everyone by the seems of it, whether they rec'd duplicates or not.
Personally, what I think has happened, is that GGS didn't expect players to achieve the scores they have, and now realise quite a few of us won the top prizes. The staff responsible for designing the reward system have had their butts kicked by management, so have come up with some story about duplicates simply to take the prizes won legitimately away.
What about the gml's purchased from Omar during the event? I bought 2 whilst the event was on. I spent gold to get them, and I paid for that gold using real cash. Do you think you have any right to take those away? I most certainly dont think so!
If your story about duplicates is as you say - affecting only some players, and you still see fit to remove the duplicates - then you should do it, but only to the 'some' players you mention, but we all know you wont do that and will take from everyone (because you can't be bothered to identify the few players, or dont have the knowledge required to do so) - put that into a different situation. A few drivers break the speed limit, but you fine every driver out there. Would you be happy if they fined you cm_hunter?
This whole thing is a cluster muck-up caused by GGS incompetence.
I just wanted to clear up a couple of things that seem to have been misunderstood: The hardwork rewards did not "reset" for some people, they are not talking about 1 or 2 extra rewards being given to a few people, I have only seen 1 post where someone has said what happened to them (thank you for that), and they said "It gave me all 100 of the support rewards. I went from 6500 bubblegum fertilizer (speed fertilizer) to 19500 from 1000 humus to over 2000 and liquid fertilizer for my ff is crazy high" so as you can see the numbers are significant & those are not the highest we have seen, they cannot just be ignored, but even though many items are affected, they are only recalling the ones that would do most damage to the game & as Hunter said, most players will end up with a few extra items. As for testing, of course they tested the event, just look how long it has been since it was first mentioned in the Racing farmer, but even with all the players, on all the servers playing it, it still took a few days before signs of a problem started to appear & just look how many of you are saying you didn't notice anything, you could test forever & still miss things.
For now keep your questions coming, we do appreciate that this time we have been given advanced notice & have a chance to ask things before anything is done, so we are reading all your posts & looking out for any concerns that we may not have thought of.
@sheila NOLA Gal (US1) The announcement did say things would be removed from inventory, but I will check to make sure.
To do that will I believe, cost GGS dear as many will leave the game.
@WascallyWabbit Did the team take into account that all of the challenge support rewards could be won more than once? My co-op was doing mainly five hour challenges for the majority of the event, using earned boosters to increase our points and not repeating challenges. We won "crazy high amounts' of some things like feed and fertilizer through hard work, not a bug in the game.
Here are the results of our latest challenge. Do you think we unfairly won anything?
I spent time and gold, resources, and now my result will be calculated on the basis of some average time. It's great.
I am so sorry @WascallyWabbit but I really need to ask why are you trying to confound the situation with your answer. It seems to me you are the one who has misunderstood the situation
You are talking about support items coming in the wrong amounts, thousands or tens of thousands, but @CM_hunter did not mention they will take those items away, he mentioned a list of items which are part of the 50 hard work rewards and not part of the support rewards, and I don't see the connection between the two groups or rewards
So now the cards on the table seem different, we won too many support rewards, hence GGS needs to take back the hard work rewards and possibly whatever is in the inventory even if it wasn't won during this event. This is insane !!! Where is the logic ?
What could those support reward do ? Help us get to the 50 hard work rewards ? LOL
Is GGS assuming players used thousands or 10s of thousands speed fertilizer in each challenge ? Because if anyone did they must have used their own gold. How instead if people used their own resources to achieve their goal ?
I personally haven't used a single piece of the speed items and I have been annoyed by the excessive fertilizer and humus given I keep the inventory full at all times, the extra has interfered with regular production of these items and had to be sold. What is GGS going to do about it ? Take the farm cash back ? Nope, once again they aren't scared of farm cash, they are scared of gold sales going down, which incidentally is exactly what they are about to provoke with their brainless actions
"....we are taking care to ensure that no more is removed than necessary or just. This has been calculated by taking an average play time during the event and working out the maximum number of rewards it should have been possible to gain....."
Its been calculated ! Not more than NECESSARY ?
This is pure BS ! And GGS sent Greta to the farms last night so that they have the excuse that multiple copies of the deco could have been destroyed and this gives them the right to act according to their "calculations", otherwise they would have to be listening to people like me who claims they won only 1
So am I " anxious about this latest news" ? NO !!! I am not anxious at all, I am totally pissed we have to deal with an incompetent lot and have to suffer losses because of their incompetence, lack of logic, lack of professionalism and irresponsible management
I am also totally pissed I have spent time over here rather than just play in the background as I do, and I mind that people justify at any level GGS management and their ineptitude
I HAVE A QUESTION WELL I HAVE A FEW,
GGS WILL I KEEP WHATS DUE ?
WILL ALL MY HARD WORK OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS
NOT BE IN VAIN, AND DESERVE SOME PRAISE ?
WHY DONT YOU EVER TEST NEW EVENTS OUT
INSTEAD OF MAKING YOUR CUSTOMERS SCREAM AND SHOUT ?
IF I HAD A PENNY FOR WHEN BIG FARM GOES WRONG
I WOULD BE WORTH MILLIONS NOT PLODING ALONG
THE SAD THING IS WE LOVE THE GAME
DO YOU WANT US TO HATE IT , IS THAT YOUR AIM ?
