Let's talk compensation for arena rewards bug.
As far as I know, the multiple rewards bug for arena is an android only problem. I'm curious to see if there is going to be any form of compensation or anything for iOS users. I'm in a chat room that is frequented by around 50 people and there were about 10 of them in there that have at one point got the rewards duplicated, and multiple times. If 10/50 in a small scale sample gets the bug, I can only imagine how many people are getting this nice little boost haha. I understand it is a bug, but this bug can potentially be toxic to the game considering that it gives android players a nice little boost when farming arena characters. Android already has had their hand held through out the game (Samsung pack with 500 crystals, shards, and IG-86. Phasma instead of Poe. The cantina "glitch" that didn't stop anyone from farming cantina but still a free 200 shards for anyone who suffered the terrible, terrible glitch *sarcasm*. The end of the year bundle, while not being top of the line, was still offered to one platform and not the other.)

First time i got it weeks ago.
This are 2x10shards advantage.Not huge i think.
2. In the tutorial, the purpose of this game is collecting characters. Android users have more chance that by reward bug than iOS users if they pay the same money. So this is why EA has to compensate iOS users for the unfairness.
It's not like it happens every day and sure, they may get a couple extra shipments earlier, but I don't know if it's game breaking. I actually hope this bug is one of those pesky hard to find ones
Just saying.
Well then lol, that completely changes the topic. No one group is due compensation more than the other.
Of course lol we all would
BUT
Is it fair, feasible, doable, likely, or even remotely possible that CG will exhaust the time/effort to track down every acct that didnt get it an send us all 1,000 of each reward?
Not a chance (nor should they)
@EA_Jesse
I am curious for a dev to weigh in given the variety of responses here so far but say you fighting a losing battle lol
I know right.
TLDR (original post): Wah-wah, give my group an advantage.
Advice (for OP): Learn to play, and HTFU!
The perceived advantage is nothing to worry about.
I think I know him xD
It is usually triple, not double
Lol love how I need to "learn to play" when I'm consistently top 10 in my bracket and have been playing since the day the game launched. I'm simply stating that in a small scale sample, a lot of people received this bug, which makes me wonder if there's quite a few people who have received it. Just last night someone in the chat got triple rewards for rank 3 on pvp. That's 1200 free crystals, and 2700 arena shipment tokens. creating a quicker way of farming the shipment characters as well as whatever they decide to do with their extra crystals. Most likely using it to energy refresh more than usual.
Yes it is a bug that no one can duplicate at will, but we can't deny the fact that if someone gets triple rewards in the top 10, or even top 20 that it won't give them a huge spike in progress compared to someone who would not have received the glitch. This isn't something like the Barriss nerf where thousands of people complained about a nerf (albeit the nerf wasn't needed), but in a game like this where balance is a prime focus for the devs you can't expect every character to remain the same through the entire lifespan of the game. I would be absolutely fine with no compensation for the arena rewards bug if they actually fixed it in a reasonable amount of time. But as far as I can tell, this has been going on for a little too long considering the amount of help it gives to people who receive it in the higher ranks of their ladder.
Since I made this thread I've found out it can indeed occur on iOS, so I've learned something from this. What have you learned by being immature and not contributing anything to the conversation? So please, if you have something to contribute to the thread, be my guest. Though, if you have nothing else to do but insult either myself, or anyone on the thread, you should just use that little back arrow in your browser to leave. Thanks.
