Request for compensation for loss of honor points.

I can't help but be thoroughly annoyed with not only my own loss but with the MILLIONS of honor points lost by my guild and countless friends. I think not only was this a huge mistake not telling the player base to spend what they have but I also believe this is almost the most disrespectful thing I've encountered since playing this game.

We have correspondents/gms etc whatever, that had to of known that this was going to happen, I am not giving any of you the benefit of the doubt here. We earned those points and regardless if they were spent or not, they were ours to retain and ***IF*** we were told they were going to be dropped instantly to 25k, there would of been no question we would of spent them. We did nothing wrong by not spending them over the YEARS.

I'm pretty sure some of you are going to try to flip this with some real world analogy, wont work sorry. To have that be applied you would have to have a conspiracy albeit possible, it just wouldn't fit so don't try.

What we really have here is again, as mentioned in another thread that this is most likely the worst breakdown in the communication food chain. To tell me not one living person that runs Gameforge did not think this would be a big deal, would be like walking down the street and randomly punching people in the face (this RL analogy applies).



So what I am asking for is basically some sort of compensation to know at least GF gives a shit about what their players lost. I don't expect the 367,897 honor points I LOST to be returned or any honor points but I'm almost certain that someone can come up with a logical and correct idea to make things right. Or you can ignore this, brush it aside and just keep players pissed off at your publishing company...some more. It's entirely up to you "important" folks with the special colored type to bring this to the correct people, to make this situation correct.



I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. GF do the right thing.

Agreed, lost prob 250k from my main and alts, plus another 250k from wife, all she does is siege and wanted to keep high on the rankings......

Would have been nice to know about changes, as I could have used for guild donations. 500K worth of donations wasted at minimum.

Well i pretty much used mine for guild contributions, but someone from Freedestiny had 800K to get the special titles and for me that is wrong, should have given people a week to spend it before implementing this crap. But hey write a ticket, rofl, like that would do anything. Wonder how many GM' spent their points before this took effect ???

Had a few in guild that had close to 200K and poof it's gone, WRONG!!!!

Fix this and find a solution, unless this is part of the masterplan to loose more people in game ;-(

I still have my 540k+ honor points since I havent had the chance to do a real siege anyway with the convoluted times they changed it to.

How about we make the gold cap 25k, and give people no warning that it is going to change, that sounds like a good idea and the next logical step.

atleast the npc who sells repair hammers accepts a single transaction >25k points. But dunno if you need 1500+ hammers :D

What is the point of having a battlefield ranking, if we are all 25k? I went from #20 on my server to #902. What did I do to deserve that slap in the face? My guild lost a lot of honor points, we guesstimated that with the amount of resources lost we could have purchased our guild walls. I see that they were trying to keep everyone from running out and buying this new pvp gear, but nobody wants the stupid PVP gear. I'm not spending anymore cash in this game to stat up a bunch of resistance gear. As a healer, that gear is trash, what am I going to do with Intell and crap green stats? My druid rarely runs out of mana and I'm not going to purchase the cleaners for that gear.

If they decide to compensate us, I hope to god a really earnest apology comes with it. Not from the CM's or the GM's. I want to see an apology from the actual people who thought this was a good idea.

Funny how no GM's came on to talk about this, probably too busy to laugh about all the people raging on the loss of their honor points. Sad that the people in blue are hiding from us, if we have any more blue people left. ;-(

its not just going into this new lame siege system that will make you loose your honor points,
i was dumb enough to go spend all my honor points on the new pvp gear, bought one piece, AND POOF all my honor points went to cap LOL

rom stop making lame changes to things when they dont need it, fix problems that needs to be fixed, leave everything else alone as is,

somethimes ROM is NOT like President OBAMA, CHANGE IS NOT GOOD !!!!

These are the kinds of things that happen in patches. It sucks. Hell, GF prolly didn't even know about it. Give 'em time to sort it out.

I lost over 800K...but am not really QQing about it because, well, I wasn't doing anything with them anyways, kinda explains why I had so much. Certainly enough to go for a full OD PvP set from the new vendors, but, maybe that is why they put in the cap to begin with and why they programmed it to immediately drop to 25K at first purchase; because they did not want people to do that.

It appears most people were using them to purchase guild mats, so it seems that the best compensation would be .... guild mats?

I'll take Guild walls as compensation, and a giant plaque for the castle with an apology written on it.

GF will probably do an XP event in 1-2 months when nearly all of the players affected by the loss of Honor points (and are still playing) are already at level cap. Yeah, that's fair payback... <dripping sarcasm> Throwing everyone a few daily reset tickets is better than nothing at all, but just barely.

Given the complete lack of response thus far and the amount of vagueness in the bits of information we have been given it's pretty obvious to me that GF had no idea this was going to happen because they never tested it themselves or just plain doesn't give two craps about us players.

I don't trust GF to make this up to us in any way and they'll probably do whatever they can to try and sweep it under the rug. And we all sure as sh!t know that we're never going to hear from anyone at RW about it either. So long as GF keeps paying RW what's in their contract RW will continue to do whatever they want to mess with the game whenever they want to do it.

I have the idea it's an accident that will be straightened out soon, honor points are still in the rankings. if everyone was limited to 25000 points there would really be no reason at all to score them, it would also be a serious blow to already shaky customer relations if it was intentional.

I have not yet lost any on my toons, on server I am 7th place last time looked.
