Who were the people who ruined Spend Ad Credit custom purchases?

[Fidelis]

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.

[Auurium]

^ This.

And also imagine if everyone had Gloom card.
Jesus Christ I would quit for epic balance break.  I like it drop only, same with Thana, Ifrit and the others.

It's hilarious.

^ 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.

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.

[Johnsu]

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.

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.

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.

[Johnsu]

Yeah, that's the only reason it didnt upset me.

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.

yeah but if everyone "used the system" it wouldn't make anyone much money at all ;x
are you asking that the GMs provide you with an unfair advantage specially for you?
