View Full Version : Misleading advertisement is misleading

"Blessings of FREE gold, stacking Elixirs, and up to 30 Platinum every 24-Hours!"
Since you only have a chance to get platinum every 5 days, this is most definitely misleading. Anyone else agree?
It's free, are you going to sue them for giving something away for free? Lol :o
On a serious note, I get what you mean. :)

Now that I think of it more, I agree. The wording can confuse some people.
I remember an ad advertising a .99¢ off coupon... seems they weren't good with math or really thought it was a good deal. :p

It says Day 5. I do not find it misleading whatsoever

I have gotten a 3x on Day 5, but never plat on days 1-4. But it could happen. That's how I read it. :)

What Yich is trying to point out is that it included platinum in the "every 24 hours" part. It does say BIG but not that platinum is only on Day 5.
Just a small little inconvenience is all I can say it is for those who pay attention to close detail.

Actually, the way it is worded it does imply that you have a chance at 30 platinum every 24 hours.
ooommmggg

There IS a chance, if the servers screw up... just saying ;P

So what if title is misleading. ._.
The question was do you think this is misleading. Not "Should I sue them?" or "Is this misleading title a big deal?".. Lol. It doesn't matter if it's a big deal, if there's any problem with it and it's an easy fix, why doesnt a dev just re-write it real quick?

The best I've gotten on DAY 5 is a 1.25 combo elixir for 24 hrs :(

I actually was disappointed when I did not get any platinum during the any of the 24 hour periods when this first started.

When i got my "big prize" at day 5, only gave me 1.25x combo elixir, which was a downer

The more you praise STS, the better your blessings. I'm having a positive attitude and I've gotten more than 100 platinum and 5 shields :D

It says 'up to 30 plat every 24 hrs'. This means 0 - 30 plat as I understand it.
It says 'up to 30 plat every 24 hrs'. This means 0 - 30 plat as I understand it.
Yes but you don't get any plat every 24 hours, just a chance for some every 120 hours.

Correct, so you always get the low boundary of [0, 30] which is 0... LOL
To be honest, I never got plat for days 1-4. All elixirs are possible ofc, even 3x I got many times.
But they could argue that the probability of receiving plat in days 1-4 is very very very tiny. We can't say it's deceiving unless we see the loot table (which will never happen lol).
Actually, I remember there was a dev announcement which stated that big prizes are only for day 5? Can't find it atm but it would prove your point... searching in progress.... :)

Same!
Only reason I didnt fall for this was because I read the forum update thing about it first.

I was excited when I got my first blessing. But all I got was a 1.25 armor blessing. It's okay I guess. But no Platinum

I'm sorry, but ur wrong.
I got 1 plat a few times already (on day 1-4) which was a real downer cause I prefer the 24h damage or armor buffs instead.
And up to 30 plat can be anything from 0 to 30 plat.
So that's not misleading at all.
Do u really complain about free stuff? xD

It's a perfectly valid statement.
If you have 5 toons and they each started the clock on a different day.

Screenshots or it didnt happen. Ive done it on all my toons a combined 250+ times, not a single plat on any but the 5th day. I call bs on you.
Oh and im not complaining, im saying its misleading. Bring proof of the chance to get plat on 1-4 or a word from a dev, otherwise go away.

"up to" does not include zero! The span is 1-30, not 0-30. Zero (nothing) is not plat. In fact, it's not anything! :p

Youre saying you got plat on days 1 to 4? It clearly shows on tne blessing screen days 1 to 4 is elixirs and gold only...
Why make stuff up?

That's no bs. Ur just an ignorant player, that's all.
But I won't participate in ur thread from now on, just to save me the trouble.
P.S. I hope if a dev read this, pls confirm 1 plat drops on day 1-4.
Over and out

I don't think I have to make up any stuff, believe it or not.
Maybe it was a glitch but I got 1 plat at least two times on day 1-4.
