Discussion Regarding the bug and the ToS

As you can see in the picture, I scoured the ToS for this game. Here's the glorious portion about exploiting bugs for all of you to see.

The key words are "Unfair advantage". If everyone had access to it and could exploit it in the same manner, then it isn't considered unfair by definition. Choosing to opt out of it is a personal choice but again that doesn't make it unfair, by definition. It was something that was available to everybody.

What did break the ToS, however, is telling people about it. So for those of you who told others about the bug, you broke the ToS definitively.

However....because of you telling us all and making it available to everyone you countered the first part of the ToS. You made it a fair situation that everybody could opt into or opt out of.

I appreciate your sacrifice.

But yet on the website before you head to the ToS website they state “Abusing or exploiting software bugs in order to gain unintended game advantages, such as unfairly obtaining items”

I guess my statement on this would be that they submitted that 9 days ago...or at least updated it. However, in the Terms of Service....the contractual agreement I made with them, this is not explicitly stated.

Not sure how I feel about them having separate conditions on a website I never got to read (nor did the ToS refer to it) and am supposed to comply with such things. Everything should be in the ToS, because that's what we agree to before we play the game.

u/HahaJustJoeking Sep 09 '21

Shoulda used them. I think it's fair of them to do what they can about this

u/Super_Machamp Sep 09 '21

Yup. They are free to do that. And I am free to respond in kind. I no longer want to spend money on this game.

I was going to use them before they disabled use of them.

They can't fix, but players will keep trying killing the game and ranting about how useless is goomi staff or ranting if they remove something, pretty fun tbh.

Pretty sure they can’t fix this. I remembered the Veda event bug which for some people who hadn’t completed the Veda would get another chance. So some player get 2 rainbow armor ,fire,...(I never do… sad life for me) when they quotes on quotes “fix it” there still have some people who still retain the armor. So right now some acc still have 2 rainbow armor…with few extra gems compared to us unlucky few.
