A Truly Generous Gift... Oh Wait... Nevermind

in MtGPQ General Discussion

At about 11:30 EST today people's accounts on both Andriod and iOS were credited with a Free Gift!  And not the normal 50 crystals that we are used to but an amazingly generous gift that made me think the developers were finally turning a new leaf and engaging the community with generosity.  The gift that was in everyone's inbox was a FREE ELITE PACK! Mind blown everyone?

Oh, but if you are scampering off to your account to collect your Elite pack, don't bother.  The gifts were available to everyone for about 40 minutes and then just disappeared off the face of the earth.  That's right.  Anyone who claimed their prize in that window got a free mythic or masterpiece and everyone else got a big pile of NOTHING.

Discuss amongst yourselves!

    I didn't notice, I am still hording packs so I just scrolled all the way down to get my -single- dupe free booster like usual, now. I never bothered with the jewels so that section has become a blind spot for me honestly.

    So this is why there wasn't anything in my inbox, when I hear the coalition talking about their free EP? Frickin el oh el

    It would have been in your inbox @TheDragonHermit.  But, it's not there now.

    I managed to get it. I wasn't going to use it on this EP but now I'm worried they might void it or take it back if this was some kind of screw-up.

    Is this compensation for people who lost their account? If so, why did everyone get it? I got it. I didn't lose my account.

    I hear it is tied to the current EP set but I have no experience on it.

    Do we get up to 3 rerolls for a dupe on this?

    I claimed my gift. It's in my vault. Any chances of it disappearing from there? I'm new to the game, but not really impressed by cards I can get, so I'm thinking about waiting for next picks. Should I? Or the next selection is probable to be worse?

    Woohoo, way to go D3... Probably going to ignore this post just like other times there was discussion on scandalous topics. I am truly bothered by this, seeing as how some players are gaining unfair advantage over others (and before all you people go "it's just a mythic/masterpiece" know that as of now I have rolled only 2 mythics in HOU while my rare collection lacks a handful of cards... that should say how many packs I opened).
    Who do I quote now when I say "and this is why we cannot have nice things"? :smile: Cause this is just a bag of ****.

    Are you going to be giving compensation for this?

    Lawl shteev, as if they could track who got the packs and who didn't. Their logging system sucks so badly they had to ask US which dupe we got from an elite pack instead of logging and retrieving that information themselves. Crosscut components are difficult to develop... good thing "AI" is a piece of cake...

    I'm currently thinking that it was not for the login
    problems and that it was a mistake that got
    corrected. those who got it just got lucky.

    What? Like giving everyone 400 crystals? Not likely.

    That's the thing hawkyh. When you make such a mistake, you don't just hide it under the rug, and pretend nothing happened. You suck it up, specifically because players talk, and players are already pissed as it is... You pretend you did it intentionally, people will love you and be all lovey dovey smile smile. You take it away, you got a handful happy and a horde upset. I know I have sealed any purchases in the application for a period yet again as this was the last straw in a series of **** unfair incidents.

    I got mine. Must have been last second.

    This is so strange. D3 needs to comment this!

    They really don't, chances are they would just say that there was a bug and they fixed it.

    Yet another fiasco.  I feel like a llama just spit in my face.

    Why not just give the packs out anyways?  It's not like anyone was going to buy this terrible rotation.

    Hi Everyone.

    Apologies for the delay, as I had meetings all morning, and couldn't comment until now.

    I spoke with the team, and it appears that an Elite Pack had been erroneously credited to all players. This has since been retracted, however some players were able to claim it during the brief period the offer was available, and those who did are welcome to keep the Elite Pack.

    We apologize for any confusion this might have caused.

    Better yet a random card from the set so that it isn't too useful.
