Thanks, but no thanks. Only one person was scammed.

I'm rubbing my temples right now...I hate writing these...but it has to be said, because it's going to escalate into Round 2 if nothing is done.
...I've been a fan of CSR service and the such lately but I'm sorry, I disagree on actions currently taken.

So to the point. 30 mil for a entry into a tournament for the Assassin's Mask. 2nd and 3rd place prizes were also tempting, and worth a 30 million entry fee as well in my opinion. Those prizes were delivered as promised to the rightful winners, and no one is complaining about that. Everyone agrees that THAT was fair. So, were all players who competed scammed? I don't think so. Yes, most of the contestants were highly pissed off, since no one thinks about winning a 2nd or 3rd place prize. They were mad that not only were they "punked", but most of us are mad that a good person got punked out an item he deserves. It doesn't matter who won first place...what matters is that the champion receive his reward.

If it is against CSR policy of not removing items from players and giving them to others, then what is this refund then? Why ask about a date, time, and who the money was sent to, if that is not exactly what you are doing? Items and money are nothing more that database entries.

If nothing is done, I'm sending my entry fee refund to the champion, and encourage others to do the same, to make up for where faith in the CSRs has failed this time.

so everyone else is fine and the winner is screwed...I see politricks!

Props to BlazinWolf. He's got my respect -- I hope he has yours.

I sincerely hope the other entries phollow your example sir.... you have my respect and gratitude. This is a very honorable thing you've offered to do, and Blazie certainly deserves something phor all his hard work and effort. It won't make it completely right, but what you've suggested could make it not quite so painful.

I have little respect for the CSR ban zealots. But in this case they are only the messengers of injustice, not the authors.

The sad, bitter irony is that the person who did the most to win ends up with the least. Way to go, SOE, really a world-class decision worthy of Solomon. With TOS with a wide range of discretion allotted to GMs/admins, it breaks my heart to see such a callous interpretation, with no regard for Blazin, for the other contestants, or for the community.

What? What's going on now...?

Agreed.

SOE does not take and item from one player and give it to another. Fine, just make a new assassin's mask and give it to Blaze, problemsolved, no items missing its all good.

And I highly doubt anyone would have a problem with it. Except maybe the scammers

Yessum. I feel bad for Blazin, I know he spent a lot and trained a bit to win the tourney and he's the one who gets little.

What the hell is wrong with Customer Service?

I am not defending them or anything, but they try to do what they see as best to satisfy all players. They can't refund AND give BW a mask so they thought refunding everyone would be better and would satisfy more people.

I wonder more what's wrong with people that try scam others all the time?
