[PONYD] Igarigen Beta Tester 7,985 posts 12,672 battles Report post #3 Posted December 6, 2018 The text says clearly Massachusetts, not Massachusetts B needed. If you cant read and understand, there where also some threads in the forums bout that. I expected an Alphatester knows how to find them.. i feel scammed by a special (snowflake) Alphatester. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[KOKOS] DanSilverwing Players 1,193 posts 19,517 battles Report post #4 Posted December 6, 2018 I'm sorry that you feel cheated, but no. This is a case of caveat emptor, blinded by the special 2500 doubloon cashback you didn't understand the product properly. This was addressed in the forums as soon as the Black Friday versions were released on sale. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZoidFile ∞ Players 569 posts 12,052 battles Report post #6 Posted December 6, 2018 Those 2500 doubloons are meant to be a "bonus" for buying Massachusetts B even though you already own the regular Massachusetts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferry_25 Players 4,392 posts 12,107 battles Report post #7 Posted December 6, 2018 Though it is subject to confusion I must admit. It's still stated in the purchase. So technically I can't say it's a scam. Though WG might state it much more clearly or even better: give that wretched mission to all versions. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It clearly states Massachusetts not Massachusetts B. That mission is for those who have BOTH ships. And do we really need yet another thread? There are at least 50 of them already about THIS EXACT THING, can't you read any one of them before spamming yet another one? 25 minutes ago, El2aZeR said: A week?

Well, the fact that it keeps popping up from a lot of people, indicates, that something is misleading there. If we look from the perspective of someone, who owns Massa (not B), the description is pretty clear. Now, put yourself into the position of someone, who doesnt own Massa. He goes to the shop, sees the offer and thinks "hey, its a nice offer , I can get some dubloons back just by playing that new ship". IMO - it is confusing enough to mislead people. WG should make the mission available for people, who dont own Massa. I dont think its good, that people feel scammed because one letter is there or not there. And that right before Xmas. @MrConway @Crysantos. just my 5c. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that right before Xmas. @MrConway @Crysantos. just my 5c. As I said in the post I linked to above, the key problem with what WG posted is a combination of wishful thinking, and human behaviour - if you're involved in e-commerce in any way, you ideally need to put critical information on the first screen that people see. If anyone read the *entire* product entry for the black MA, and not just the stuff at the top, there was very little scope for confusion (once the ad had been tweaked from its initial version); the problem is that I bet very few people did... WG must have heat maps etc. for their various pages - this all rather gives the impression that whoever covers this sort of thing has been somewhat over-enthusiastic *Edited* 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell youself that when your in the same situation.. even if its for a yoghurt. There are several ppl who thought the mission is for the ship that they are buying. Since the mission is advertised even on product image one would expect so. Adding that the ships names differ only in one letter smells bad as it is. And since many pointed out its missleading (ones who purchased and ones who didn't, WG should fix the damn text to avoid further situations like this). You being on WG side and even insulting ppl by telling them that they cant read is not ... moral? Or envious... idk... smug perhaps. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
