    Using minis is not the exploit, you should be in the clear. The problem is repeatedly doing lvl 1 quests by creating new guilds.

    As I have said before, this isn't just between players and developer. This is a multiplayer game so everything is between the players as well. It might be fun to collect free stuff instead of buying it but it gives unfair advantage when compared to players who have earned the same by playing thousands of battles or spending thousands of dollars of money. So, even if it's breaking the rules between players and developers, it breaks the rules inside the community. That's why the hoppers just can't keep all the stuff they have farmed.

    If the players had been told earlier there will be a chance to get free all the stuff they are earning by playing or by paying and they still had player/paid, the game had been fair. Now it isn't.

    Which the devs can probably undo by parsing server logs, figure out what you gained and replace it with what you had before (if anything). Tokens can be removed, weapons downgraded, etc

    well such player wants to discover strategies to find easy win Or to gain tokens easily,
    If there any trouble to be blame is your system not the player.

    While ambiguous. At least this should strike enough fear in most of the guild hoppers, that they shouldn't waste their time hopping anymore.

    Una solución sería que al entrar a una cofradía a la semana de estar ahí puedas cumplir y reclamar recompensas.
    Eso evitará que las nuevas gremios hagan trampa y tengan forzosamente esperar ese tiempo (algo que no harían esos incompetentes)

    I’ve never really put too much money into this game, so the pay to play theory doesn’t bother me. And I don’t have many epic perks nor do I care. I did ok with the load out I have. But as American Marauder state, I hope there not a blanketed roll back that effects people who are innocent. My Guild has only worked hard to complete task and we didn’t even know about the loophole until last week. But it wasn’t worth chancing anything because I knew that some repercussions were going to come from it. And most people should have know that. Even if it was a developer error. Why put your guild in a position like that.

    To keep the ecosystem even and balanced I see 2 options that are just and give a long term healing effect to the community.

    1) Take away the gained resources (perks, pieces, combined items, pearls, parts) everything gained with the guild tokens after the first
    easy board was completed in the 2nd rivalry season

    2) Gift ALL Battle Bay players who did not exploit with the same amount of tokens as the mean average of the active perpetrators
    (hundreds of thousands tokens)

    Its easy to see which of the 2 solutions will lead to a more just, balanced and healthy in game ecosystem.

    Can't call them cheaters.....they took an advantage of what they found rather than those who didn't and expressing that regret as anger in forums.....it's not a bug after all.

    Devs are taking it seriously bcoz if they don't, this game will become play 2 win rather than pay to win..... what about the wallet warriors? Now u will say that it's the only way devs can earn money, but how does supercell earn money from CoC, wallet warriors are in there also but those players just do it faster than the f2p players but eventually everyone gets the same thing at some point.
    While here p2p players will always be OP than the f2p players.

    I'm sure you're able to see who has obtained the most tokens so far. Do some math to determine how much the max as of now is and please target those who far surpassed it. Shouldn't be too difficult to pinpoint those who abused this. Sucks for them, don't cheat.


    Edit. The only people that will argue against this are those who took advantage of a very obvious exploit and will try everything to attempt to justify it. Tough luck.

    Thank you devs for doing what's right.
    Now let's wait for the punishments. I can't wait for that to happen.

    Think million of tokens.
    hundred of thousands is 2 days "work". It's been going on for a long time.

    Definitely not by watching ads, i can tell you that. Ads don't pay.
    Wallet warriors and those making small purchases are those who contribute for a game to be in development.

    F2P players watching ads (or some don't even bother) don't contribute to the financial support of the game dev.
    Do we need F2P players ? Definitely.

    CoC is making massive $$ because of those "wallet players".
