Those who have been around for a bit may remember the previous occasions when Funcom had Crom Coin Sales and the after effect.
It went like this:
- Crom Coin Sale announced
- Players buy discounted Crom Coins
- Sale Ends
- Players get auto-banned for illegal Crom Coin balance
- Players Complain
- Funcom denies then admits the problem
- Funcom instruct players to put in a ticket if they have been affected
- Weeks pass
- Accounts that submitted tickets are eventually restored
It is my conjecture that accounts that did not submit tickets did not get the auto bans removed. I could be wrong. But, what I know is this: It was an unforced error caused by teams not communicating and inadequate testing.
But it got fixed, eventually.
And then it happened again, the next time Crom Coins went on sale.
This is the point were incompetence feels malicious.
And now, Crom Coins are on sale, again. I have decided, FOR SCIENCE, to run an experiment.
I purchased discounted Crom Coins.
I will report the result after the sale ends.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
