and Abuse the TOS? how do we know for sure that these were bugs? using a wpp on a leader camp or 2 players clicking a cauldron at the same time, we were suppose to know that these were a bug and not that UBI implemented them to maybe promote co op play and teamwork (with the cauldron) and a maybe incentive to get to lvl50 to star coins to be able to get wpps and use them to get extra sc/beans?
i tihnk you should just change the CL tag to [PAWN] (chess piece) as i do not want to be associated and have a "voice" who do not care about the community's actual opinion/feelings rather working for free to help find the scoops and change the game that are not in the majority of the community's interest.
What you forget to mention is that the people who got those beans with a bug, got a bunch of them they really shouldn't have. So basically they were free for them and by selling or using them to buy items they were taking advantage of anyone who hadn't done the same thing on the server. They got payment for something they tricked the game to give them for free plus they drove the price down and anyone who got their beans the hard way would either have to keep them for themselves or sell them at a lower price.Originally Posted by TrueHead
It would only become fair if everyone on the server would decide to use the same bug, but being a bug and usually in most games bugs aren't allowed to be abused, most people won't want to use them. So no matter how anyone tries to spin this one, a bug will never really be fair to the community.
I do understand where you're coming from TrueHead. A person finds a neat little way to make more profit in a game that's all about trade, that could sound like progress. When it's at the expense of others, it really isn't progress at all. Trust me I would much rather be able to buy beans at 5 coins each than 9 but I much more prefer that everyone has the same opportunities in this game.
By the way, when I heard about this bug, it was through someone that had seem something suspicious in trade from another player. I double checked to make sure. The first thing I did was whisper the person about it and warned them that if they were indeed abusing a bug, this sort of thing is against the terms of service and that they would certainly get in trouble for it if they kept at it. They stopped for a little bit but continued after they thought I might not be looking I guess. I had no choice but to mention their name, but I did give them a chance to change their ways first and I will always want to do things that way first before I go "snitching" on anyone.

As I've said in the post just above yours TrueHead I will always try to contact the person who's using a bug first. So in that case they'll know that what they're doing is using a bug. If they keep using it, then they are obviously disregarding the terms of use.
As for the community's interest, once a few more people get on here and agree with you that bugs should be abused, then yes maybe we could say that I'm not helping the community as best I can. But until then, I'll stick to thinking that bug abuse isn't good.
Now please TrueHead drop this issue of bug abuse being good for the community or not. You seem like a very intelligent person and I'm sure you know the correct answer to that.
I would really like you to keep posting on here, even if you disagree with some things that come up. Otherwise things just end up being one sided.

"So no matter how anyone tries to spin this one, a bug will never really be fair to the community."
So no matter how the majority of the community feels it doesnt matter becasue you dont care, so why is it Community Leader if you do not care about how the majority of the community feels?

how do we know that they were not implemented by UBI? we should just assume anything that helps us positively in this game is a bug?
If you have been playing on Zeus since the WPPS and Cauldrons have been removed form game you could see that the majority of the players were dissappointed due to the removal.
It does make one wonder is it a bug or is it something to help. (I have never used it) But it makes me think it was a great idea that the game makers came up with to help players in the game. But that is just me, just one player, just my view....
Agreed TH. I made a thread about the extra beans long ago and was never told it was a bug. BB Mods read forum post daily and never posted a comment anywhere that it was a bug that was not permitted on the game. I do find it rather funny though that they fixed this bug rather quickly, but can't change or fix a lot of the other issues on the game that have been going on for a much longer period of time. There are multiple threads about things a lot players would like changed/added/fixed that haven't been addressed.
As far as adding CL to the game, I thought that's what the forum was for. If all the issues players have expressed in forum threads have gone unanswered, how will CLs make any difference?
Don't get me wrong here or not.. Even though I might be.. But let me say something on this matter...
The Cauldron bug, I Could care less about really.
Now, Using the Weak Point Potion on the Leader to get extra Star Coins or Beans was honestly a good idea and the Devs should of kept that because you still needed to buy the Weak Point Potion which has a 2 day cool timer. It was a really nice and interesting thing most people thought it wasn't a bug at first... Until it was found out that it wasn't a part of the BB Plans. But having to use Star Coins on Range Support and Weak Point Potion for it.. People were happy and were actually doing adventure.. Until the Devs took the Happiness away.
So that being said... It goes the same thing for Blocks. Block's wasn't part of BB's plans and neither was Loot spots. They can't fix the Loot spots, but they can fix the Blocks if they really want too because it means its a Bug as well Right?... So really.. We can never win against the Devs/BBs or the CL's in this matter because using WPP on leader for Extra Beans/Star Coins is a Bug and so is Blocking and against the rules which means 90%+ will get banned for Blocking......
So really, they should of just kept the WPP on leader for the Extra rewards.. It was a nice feature.
