    Default Crate Key sales and Gold Nekro

    I feel like a lot of players are using scripts to purchase crate keys. Whenever crate keys are on sale they get out of stock within a second which is fine if an item is in demand, but whenever I check auction for crate keys, I see some common IGNs selling multiple of them. It's believable that they have fast hands and could buy 1-2 every time but purchasing 5-6 within a period of 1 sec is humanly impossible. These script users have an unfair advantage over users who had to wait hours for the stock to refresh only to find they went out of stock again before I could even press the buy button. Without a doubt same will be the case with Gold Nekro and other in demand eggs/items in store.

    Your thoughts

    Over demand < less supply

    I wouldn't risk it until dev clarification. Try find anything in the game ToS.

    Indeed, I have a feeling that this would be too and I kind of hope it is... just removes the fairness for the average player to buy these keys/eggs

    Tsk. This is so disappointing :/ I was so excited to buy some Keys from the Winter Sales but as From what I've experienced the past 15mins, wherein after 1sec stroke. It was already SOLD OUT. Yet I was spamming the button with my 2 Hands, it still didn't work. How disappointing. I wish STS would change this somehow, but I guess it's too late since they're on Holidays.

    Ditto to this... last 4 cycles the crate keys have sold out within 1 second. I hope STS has a way to see who is cheating.

    Secret, I spam my iPad like mad hehe.... I got 4 keys first time they were out.... 4 attempts...(0,0,2,2) it's all luck.
    So far today, I have had 2 attempts (1,1)

    But for golden Nekro, there is less demand as it'll probably be 1000-1500 plat whereas keys are 30.
    So you probably have more chance with golden Nekro then keys lol...

    Yep, these snipe bots are very annoying. Hope STS deals with them.

    You'll know who these snipe bots are anyway. When you see their names spammed on cs selling the stuff they sniped using third party software.

    Yea, that's the reason i didn't buy plat.
    Because i knew botters will have their advantage.

    Default Crate Key sales and Gold Nekro

    This is a mess. I have been waiting for this day to buy some of those crates. I bought 1700 plats just for this and i cant even spend them. Sts please take care of this issue AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Or honestly ill ask google play for a refund. And you know.. They do refunds. Unlike you.

    I agree, we have no chance at all to get our hands on crate keys. Please fix this.

    yeah i agree ... if purchasing keys and gold nekro can and is being scripted then its very annoying. if those crate keys are available every 2 hours youd think you would have a chance, but today i sat and watched the store count down to 0 seconds, and the keys were instantly sold out ... they were not even available for 1 second.
    I was going to buy plat specifically for a chance at gold nekro but im hesitant now .... and probably wont bother buying plat.

    Or maybe its because a lot of players, just like all of you, are all spamming to buy them at the same time so they sell out in 1 second, which is to be expected given the ratio of people in arlor to the number of crate keys being sold.

    At the beginning of this past semester my university was opening spots for an honors level class for a given math course. All the spots filled in 2 minutes. Am i going to cry about it? No because demand >>>>>>>>>>> supply so ofc it will sell out quickly.

    Last summer I was bought a pair of jordan 5's. I waited until about 10:00 at night the day they released to order them and guess what? The first 3 websites i went to were all sold out. Luckily I was still able to find them.

    Just because you don't get any doesnt mean the other players are cheating because you have 0 proof or evidence. This thread is a real testament to human nature.

    "If i dont get something but somebody else does it's not fair, they must be cheating"

    U can spend ur plat on something else. Lets grow up a little hmm?
