as those who had spent the fraudulent funds could be liable for a ban
Yeah, I’m sure that’ll endear the playerbase to you guys.
Why wouldn’t you be using a type of system with rollbacks? WoW used to have rollbacks (return the server state to an earlier state) for when shit went absolutely insane. They didn’t happen often but it was a lot better than having a few people’s ill gotten gains ruining the economy.
You can’t just roll back the database, you have to also replay any legitimate transactions between the last snapshot and now, and that’s a whole other can of worms which I don’t expect a game server would be prepared to handle out of the box
So screw it and do the roll back and just lose some transactions. You’re gonna have people pissed off at you no matter what.

Which is why I was wondering why they don’t use a system like that. WoW was having rollbacks in 2006 so not to have them in another game developed 2 decades later? That seems idiotic to me.
Now rinse and repeat for EVERY FUCKING GAME with microtransactions/season passes/etc.
(Except those rare unicorn MMOs with a monthly sub and no microtransactions… if any still exist. Those are chill.)
Lol amazing. Who ever did this is a GOAT.
Sweet! Now do this in real life!
Omg… 🤤
I stopped playing Rainbox Six Siege many years ago once it was clear that it was a live service game where you effectively had to pay for the new operator each time one came out, as your previous favourite would be nerfed or overshadowed.
yeah I stopped playing games where you have to pay for new characters (or unlock them by earning the “free” currency, it only takes 100 hours!) 9 out of 10 times, the new character would be completely busted in the sense of balance so if you didn’t but them, you’d fall behind. Pay2Win, but hidden a bit better.
I stopped when they added more hard breach operators, and then a secondary hard breach gadget (and I think an emp grenade too now?). I remember seeing IQ with a hard breach gadget. So a 3 speed, fast gun, can now hard breach? Anyone can do anything now.
Amazing. Can someone please do this for Minecraft next? Asking for 6 year olds around the world
Found the guy whos 6 year old somehow spent $900 on their credit card in minecraft
The kid got a 10% off coupon and doesn’t understand money or that we still have to pay the other 90%. He also won’t give me the coupon so I couldn’t buy his gold if I wanted to.
There are microtransactions in minecraft now?
Ads are next, given Microsoft and this shit world…Can’t go outside cause the rich fucked the environment and can’t stay in cause they fucked all the joy from every corner of entertainment. I really want to flay the rich and display their corpses along every road into town, Game of Throne’s style!
There are skins and lava or something. Kids are exhausting.
The Duper Trooper constantly does this on different servers that make use of gambling mechanics.

Probably not now. The server has been down for the past few hours so this must be why
