Post by: SilentIce on March 19, 2011, 06:41:17 am

I can't Spend Credit a Gloom because GM Haine says the people who did it for the Hell Poodles fucked it up for the rest of us.  >:(

Like when Zealotus wasn't in the card shop and people custom bought it through Spend Ad requests, but that might be before your time.

Damn that's a sexy card...

I get what you're saying. But I don't think I was around when people broke(?) something when sending a spend ad credit request for a Hell Poodle card. What happened?

I was trying to Spend Ad Credit request for something, and GM Haine specifically said it doesn't happen anymore because the people who got all the Hell Poodle cards that way fucked it up (she didn't say that part) for the rest of us.  :(

Sorry, it's kinda hard to understand... you tried to buy Gloom card with spend credit request? The MVP Gloom? It's a drop only card, you can't buy it with ads... and the part where Hell poodle card fucked it up... ???

You aren't following at all.. ZEALOTUS USED TO BE DROP ONLY. PEOPLE COULD STILL SPEND AD CREDIT REQUEST TO BUY IT. NO ONE CAN SPEND AD REQUEST ON ANYTHING THAT IS NOT LISTED IN THE SHOP ANYMORE.

ARE YOU COMPREHENDING.

i remember a post somewhere about players making a complain when hell poodle was added back then..
when it first came everyone farms them and sells them at high price.. then someone bought it for like 20-25m?? dunno exact price but it can be bought via Spend Ad Credit and people rage that there was no official announcement or just simple hearsay you can get it via ad credit.. well... of course why hunt for something new and expensive when you can just get it for 10ads?
that's what the post was all about from what i remember..

Title: Re: Who were the people who ruined Spend Ad Credit custom purchases?
Post by: Arkensark on March 19, 2011, 09:25:58 am

So the players are pissed at the GMs who are pissed at the players because the GMs didn't make an announcement about being able to buy cards not in the ad shop through a spend credit request?

Title: Re: Who were the people who ruined Spend Ad Credit custom purchases?
Post by: Xia Xue on March 19, 2011, 09:38:24 am

i remember that post, there was a few players who knew it's obtainable via this method until somebody mentioned it here in forums you can get it via Spend ad credit.. that started the whole mad dog rage.

I think it's good (and easier) that way. The only items that you can purchase are in the ad credit shop. Everything else, drop only.

I don't think it applies. They specifically said the newer mvp cards would not be allowed for purchase period.

And also imagine if everyone had Gloom card.

^ not to mention it was kinda crappy that GMs allowed spend credit requests of Hell Poodle, since jerks took advantage of it to rip off everyone else. It's stupid that GMs never announce anything like that. The least they can do, if they wanted to allow other things via spend credit, is issue some kind of announcement over the forums about it.

But of course that's asking way too much  </3

You can't really blame people for taking advantage of knowledge that any individual can come across. All it really does in general is make you look like you have no life.

Post by: Razer on March 19, 2011, 03:59:06 pm

Whenever you see "too Many" of an apparent "drop only" card. Always take the liberty of asking the staff - whether its available via the Ad shop. It would have been nice had HP stayed out of the AD shop - No real motivation to farm it anymore and not to mention I feel bad for people who burned holes in their pockets paying for it.

I don't really blame them, people only wanted to use the opportunity, I blame the GMs for blatantly providing said unfair opportunity. I definitely do not want them to do it again.

ad shop has ruined quite a few markets ;x I'd like it if they could at least keep SOME strong stuff out of it.. Gloom being one example.

Title: Re: Who were the people who ruined Spend Ad Credit custom purchases?
Post by: Johnsu on March 20, 2011, 03:44:57 pm

Agreed^.

If you allow an advantage, you should publicly announce it, rather than let a few people get rich off it. I didn't care either way.

Title: Re: Who were the people who ruined Spend Ad Credit custom purchases?
Post by: exDragon on March 20, 2011, 05:05:09 pm

Earlier, someone on the staff said in a random topic that hell poodle would not be purchasable by ads.  Then came people starting to buy it with a spend credit request.  People that new they could through some source used it to make a lot of money.  That however has nothing to do with gloom.  If they wanted to they could make an offical announcement so everyone would know.  The problem caused with hell poodle is no official announcement was made and there was even a random statement by a staff countering what was actually going on.  The real reason you can't is they just don't want the new MVP cards to be buyable by ads.  As to why, your have to ask them since they didn't really explain it.

Title: Re: Who were the people who ruined Spend Ad Credit custom purchases?
Post by: Talis on March 20, 2011, 05:15:17 pm

I believe what happened with Hell Poodle is that we didn't mean to sell it either through shop or spend credit requests, but the handling GM of the first Spend Credit request for a Hell Poodle was unaware of this for a while and thus filled out the spend credit requests. After that, we had no choice but to generally allow it to keep things fair. It was a problem of miscommunication within the staff, which was the "fuck up" that was mentioned.

This does, under no circumstances, mean that ANY card that is not in the shop can be obtained via Spend Credit. Usually if it's not in the shop you can't get it via spend credit either, unless it's something like a new custom kaho / bell request.

I just want a fair share, is all. I play the game for years I don't break the rules perhaps i'm not so serious as to have more than half the SQI's in the game but I play enough to be able to talk like I know about stuff. I just thought I'd possibly be able to benefit from services offered, and am merely annoyed that there were people who took so bad of an advantage of it that no one else is able to benefit from these services. People abused the system, got rich off it, they stay rich, no one else gets to use the system.

Nothing was fucked with or up.  INSTEAD of having ANY cards available that aren't in the AD shoppe, ALL items available for sale are already IN the AD shoppe.

Gloom card is not in the AD shoppe, therefore it is not available.

Do you really think you would have gotten the card to begin with, even if we didn't have the general ruling that, "if it's not in the item shop, it's not available for purchase"...

If I asked nicely enough, perhaps; it worked for the people who got the Hell Poodles.

You sell a Doppel that does x3 its original effect, an Eddga that give +hp rather than -hp, and I can't get a non custom Dark Lord. Customization aside. Phreeoni, Garm, Beelzebub.

I do not see how Gloom is "game breaking" enough for it not to be on sale. Increase damage inflicted on Holy Property, Shadow Property, Angel monster, Demon monster by 40%. Woopty do. There goes WoE. Champions will start farming MvP's like Wounded Satan Morroc (oh wait they already do). Star Gladiators will go farm Skeggiolds in Odin (oh wait they already do). Repeat this line of thought with just about everything else you can think of.

If I was going to ask for something a little more game breaking i'd be trying to get a Ledger of Death. Now THERES something that'd make people QQ about. ...(want).
