So how long have u been playing AL mr sprtcuz?
^i like that, put quotes around it and trademark it
Well, I was burned (as have many), but as others have said, STS is very engaged with the community, more so than any other game I've played, and they have since admitted that the situation wasn't handled gracefully.
That is enough for me to turn the page on this and press forward.
There really isn't much of a point to continue raging about what has happened. The team at STS has heard our frustration, done their Mea Culpas and now it is time to move along and recover from the loss of our golden pixels. Continuing to beat a dead horse isn't going to be productive use of our time.
To be honest, we should be a bit more appreciative of the STS team. Yes, there was an oversight here, but I honestly don't know of any other game where the developers actively seek out community feedback, incorporate ideas posted in forums and have a relatively free-flowing conversation about thoughts, details and ideas regarding the continued evolution of the game. Stay tuned, I'm sure there will be give-backs aplenty as we roll into Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years through the next 90 days or so.

Well, as someone who did lose something (though I really don't care about it too much) since I made the apparently not-so-smart decision to go ahead and buy one, I have to say: keep it fair. No one can be expected to read the devs' minds/intentions. The whole thing about having to make assumptions as to what would happen to those rings is what got us into this mess in the first place - basing a "fix" of that situation on the same thing just doesn't seem right to me... And that's what in effect punishing those that got rid of a useless item instead of keeping it assuming or hoping we'd get something for it would be.
I'm not saying this because I want that gold. For me, that apology was enough - it is just a game, after all, so I say move on and be a bit more careful next time, since mistakes like this obviously can happen. I can see how those who in some way spent actual money to obtain one of these rings (or a mythic which they then exchanged for one) would disagree on that, though.
Guys, ... Move on... Its just a game... I also lost 40k by buying that ring.. next day i dropped a kettle egg sold for 40k and now im on 0 again.
What i want to say is that you might have lost some virtual money but if you farm a bit you will get the money back.
You really need to rethink your comments. It's more about player who used platunim.
Back 2 topic: how about turn these epic into legendary? Or maybe increase the dmg slightly not that low like now . This way both buyer and seller of those rings are satisfied.
You chose to buy the plat, why don't you play the game and farm gold instead of paying yourself through it...
A game is meant to be played, your meant to enjoy it not spend your money just to become the best again!!!
To each his own--buy plats or farm gold, merch, whatever. Agree, that was a choice, great game that AL offers a huge amount of them. But the fact of what happened, remains.
Though not ideal, I like Swede's response by far & it's like what others said, "move on".
..... heh.

I feel bad for players who bought bugged rings, usually when this happens the company; sts should somewhat compensate for letting the bugged rings "run wild".
Which players used platinum to farm a purple ring? Please tell me, I'd really love to know.

how about the roll back to before the rings were released ? That will please everyone , but not the ones that gets mythic/arcane during that time , and all purchased plat will not be lost !
what was the small update on saturday?
How about asking the game developers
Pretty sure there was no update, but it could have been to add some coding into the server to prepare for the upcoming Halloween eventHow about asking the game developers
yeah but anyone say nothing :||
50-60% off in platinum for those who bought the rings seems to be the only logical solution. Seeing as getting our gold back may be hard and cause destabilization of economy (even though we're not that numerous as it stands) This is a win-win solution since we still need to pay for those plats anyway before we can receive our compensation. I'm quite sure no one stands to be on the losing side of this proposal, but I'm also sure contrarians can find yet another downside.
I'm not lazy, I'm just on energy saving mode.
Remember... Not everyone bought the rings using plat-purchased gold... They would receive another bonus, since many have already spent on the plat sale..50-60% off in platinum for those who bought the rings seems to be the only logical solution.

Please stop adding suggestions.. The decision was made. Time to move on and focus on other issues.

Following the Code
For those that thought STS would leave an OP ring as is without consideration to their legendary/mythic stats are sadly misguided and should have known that STS would come in and fix the situation.
For those that bought it early and took advantage of the time, I hope you used it well. Nobody told you to go out and buy the ring and STS wasn't selling it directly to you. If they were, then you might have a case, but as it stands, you dont.
