Got home from work today.
(Where I make a wage, that some of goes to OOO.)
To bring up the forums to find out the Shard Bomb Update happened today.
Ok, Ok. not what I want, but that is a different thread.
As part of the change, as an RSS and ISB owner, I would be compensated with a couple of 3UV tickets, WHOO 8(.
But, further reading revealed that the Announcement occurred some time before the release.
So, crap tons of people rage crafted lots of crystal bombs.
And received a "gift" from OOO for doing so.

I ask you OOO, WHAT THE HELL????

These people had no right to be compensated for their bombs.
You threatened people on the Test Server that bought up too many bombs.
The compensation was aimed at those who actually used these bombs.

Please write this compensation scheme off,
and figure out a new one.
Maybe something along the lines of length of ownership, use, heat level, bound/unbound, etc.

But really, what did you give current "users" of the bombs, that you didn't give to the opportunist rage crafters.

This was just plain insulting on top of the change.

Look at the logs OOO, you will find an ever decreasing amount of play on my account since these bombs first appeared on the test server.
And the elevator pass purchase to gain access to the test server, will be the last dimes OOO gets from me without some apologies to the community.

I may be misreading this(or just plain dumb XD) but whats your point? It's unfair that people are ragecrafting bombs so that they get tickets?

I know how you feel, but...

Welcome to economy, where people do whatever they can to get their grubby hands on any amount of money

"whats your point? It's unfair that people are ragecrafting bombs so that they get tickets?"

Well, it's a fair point. The idea was to compensate people whose precious RSSs were ruined. But people who never used the thing and who were around to ragecraft ended up getting a far better deal.

Here are the options: 1. Take

Here are the options:
1. Take back UV tickets from rage crafting
2. Start selling UV tickets at RSS crafting cost
3. Hide head in sand

Choose one, OOO. Each option carries different amount of backlash from the community. Choose wisely, as you have already screwed up big time.

A friendly suggestion

I would hide your heads in the sand, emus are very sophisticated animals. Also, the other options were erm, less than helpful.

Of course all the options

Of course all the options look bad. The tickets got released, people have already resell/used some of them.

OOO did this to themselves.

4. A complete rollback to the last version and last database backup before the announcement. Everything reset to the old state. If they do keep rolling out the new bombs, they can send UV tickets, but no one will be able to rage craft this time as the change will be applied to the old state.

Option 4 would be a really

Option 4 would be a really big scale operation. But the correct one.

98% chance that they will act like emus. They've already done that with stun and a bunch of other stuff.

I have no idea what were they thinking, both when they made this and released the promo, but I sure hope they'll wake up. o.o
Despite having taken advantage of this, I still think it was stupid. :/

Now, it would be funny if all ragecrafters got unlucky tickets. *coughcoughbeastmedbeastlowgremlinlowcoughnovadrivercough*
