For people that perhaps dont see the whole picture :
Event A : Lots of people receive too much gold.
Solution A : Devs shutdown servers, take the gold back, problem can be solve pretty fast.
Event B : People receive large amounts of gold that CAN’T be random and rush auctions and plundered it.
Solution B : Shutdown servers, rollback players, cancel transaction, long maintenance huge impact on most players experience and on AGS’s team amount of work to solve it.
I hope my point is clearer now.
I got told I will get money back, hence I was expecting to receive gold. I was surprised it was what I got, but after all, it was announced. Of course I started using it, because I was told this is what I should have had after all. Banning anyone for an error on AGS side would be the last of this game.
good luck banning half my server…
can we please stop with “BAN” word all topic long, there is writtent ban/SANCTIONS.
There isnt only BAN as action that can be taken against a player ffs !
Yeah but i spent 4 hours looting and getting/got really nice mats for furnishing that i dont want to give up!
There’s no way they can undo this mess they’ve created, they’ll just scrub whatever gold they can from the people who still have the gold on their character and sweep the who incident under the rug just like they did with the duping exploits.
If they remove all the gold that was incorrectly added they’ll just screw over whose stuff was bought by exploiters. If they don’t remove that gold, they’ll allow a loophole for people who’ve laundered that gold to friends via bogus trades.
How about no?
There is a way do undo this which is called “Rollback” what takes less than 10 minutes.
Well, at the moment many people WANT to be banned.Stop suffering, our characters deserve peace
A server-wide rollback is probably the fairest way to handle this mess, but even that will still screw over a plenty of people who’ve made legitimate progress during those couple hours and I’m willing to bet Amazon would rather leave people with excess gold and worry about the long term effects later than risk upsetting even more people at a time when the game is on the cusp of dying.
what an unnecessary topic.
a lot of people just bought all kind of stuff from the auction house just for fun because they knew it will get fixed.
i know someone who bought all kinds of mats to test how much crafts he needed to get a 600GS armor with a chance of 582-600.
most of the people who used the “bad money” ment NO HARM WHATSOEVER.
because right when the problem showed up, EVERYONE knew it will get rolled back.
there is literally NO OTHER SOLUTION to the problem.
so why not having fun with the money?
some people also used the money and items from the AH to get some steam archivments with it.
i cant see any problem here comming from the players perspective/base.
its amazons fault YET AGAIN.
dont hate the player, hate the game.
Players didnt cheat or exploit. The gold has been sent by AGS, players simply received it agains their wills. No explanation has been given. No information has been given. Details were unclear for hours. And you expect they will punish players who, deprived of any possible information, did spend said gold?
My god …
This is a MMO game, not a “how long can you not spend gold sent by the developers without any further explanation” - simulator which bans you if you fail.
I didnt even play today and am now waiting to log in. It’s been 6ish hours already.

Update:
We are still investigating the incorrect player coin compensation and working on a rollback for all affected characters in the EU Central region.
Unfortunately we don’t have an ETA when the rollbacks are finished, but we will keep you updated once we have additional news.
Congratulations
Wtf people got 300k FUCK that. They need to get banned if they took advantage a bought everything… Tradeskills and all
Hello players. If you feel there’s a player affecting your experience of the game, you can fill a report in-game or by a web ticket through this link Report a Player or Company - Support | Amazon Games
How could you know for sure when they were talking about “coin compensations” ? People just took the money and rolled with it, you can’t blame the players wtf ? This is pretty screwed i mean blaming the players cause they used the gold granted by the devs (even announced “compensations” beforehand). Taking actions against the ppl who profited in some way from AGS blatant mistakes is like saying jail the customer for a refund. They effed up ALOT (in sooo many ways beyond this) this thread is pure nonesense …
So how do you think that we know witch players bought the whole action house when multiple players got absurd amounts of money??
Do you think that we have the same data as new world moderation team ?
Stop for once copy pasting messages and start doing what people rlly demand from you guys !!
1 : 7 days ban for the people that used that gold transfered to a friend etc etc
2: Take the wealth that player got from the release till today !
3: Dont ask your customers to fill in reports that they cant just because they dont know who took advanteg because of you guys mistakes!
4: Tracking down all the players that took advanteg from this situation and punish im pretty sure that the moderation team knows how to track people that are buying action houses empty.
5: Ardroz even if that players knows who buyed something with that gold im pretty sure hes not gonna report it! its your moderation team that need to track down this ++++++ players and punish them !
naah you dont get it i gues !
look prety boy every time when they logged in and out so (closed the game and opened the game )
they where getting the same amount again !
so please go inform yourself before talking !
that means if they took advanteg of that they are cheating ! and if they sell it and trade it to a other player that means they are hiding witch people are hiding ? ?? cheater dupers etc etc
so how do you know, if ppl didn’t do this by mistake you should quit assumptions it would just be like that … i mean ppl logging in and out to fix “issues” is literally anything a player can do … you should stop whiteknighting a broken game and instead start fixing on the people that actually caused all the issues … we are literally paying money to be “Betatesters” you got that already, right ?
