Winter Thaw Event

This is simply outrageous even by BP standards.

You can not suddenly change the exchange ratio of the event keys from 1:1 to 2:1, just because you figured out that the event keys were to cheap.

It was stated in the original FAQ, that the ratio would be 1:1 and therefore I and a lot off other players used millions of pearls to buy crystals to purchase event keys. I bought 10.000 my self, even though I already had approx 5.000 already on stock (so I did not really need them here and now, but in the long term I would safe some pearls), and I know that several other players did the the same.

If a normal online shop did the same stunt, they would be forced to redo it or close down, why does BP think that they can do the same, just because they sell virtual items?

You can not advertise a item for a certain price, and when a lot of customers have bought it, then suddenly half the value of the item. Something is called cold business, another thing is normal decensy, ethics and morals.

Post moved to discussion thread

 

The post compensation has been set to the ratio of 1:1 for the event keys.

 

common sense prevails

 

Rather, I think somebody filed a criminal complaint! So BP turned his decision.

 

From the patchday note:

The compensation will run tomorrow, not today.

The keys will be changed for the ratio to 1:1 from event keys to normal treasure chest keys
