Sure, you can add the ad thing ^^ (... that sounds funny when said out loud xD)

Ah, so that's what you were referring to. Yeah, that was pretty extreme and unwarranted :/ I can understand getting majorly pissed off at the major bug, or even calling for firing the guy who was supposed to check up on the ranking code, but stuff like "burn in hell" is bleh.

I don't know how many people reallocated back into health for Shrine, but I've seen a few people do that since they thought shrine was going to be for an entire week and decided why not xD

I'd like to disagree with the "for most poeple, the error didn't cause any damage". From what I've seen, many people modify their real life plans slightly (by that, I mean that they may stay up an extra three hours, they may sneak their phone in class at the risk of being caught, they may try to go to the bathroom IRL at work when usually they don't, they may set an alarm to wake up earlier than usual, etc) so that they're up for GCQ. I myself try to stay up to 3am for the start of GCQ, and one of my guildies goes to bed ~1 hour later than usual so that they're up for GCQ.

The bug was fixed about 5 hours? before the event started. (~10 pm my time or something like that) For those on the east coast of the US (my timezone) who don't stay up late, they would have already gone to bed. I would have gone to bed if I wasn't up doing my mountain of homework.

For those in the east part of South America (and yes, there seems to be a growing number of AGG players from there) and Europe, they should have already been in bed (if I was right about the time, then the display got fixed at ~12am-3am their time, depending on their timezone) and would've missed the start of GCQ if they didn't wake up early and/or check AGG at a time that they normally don't (~5am-8am depending on their timezone).

Those in the very populated UTC+8 timezone were mostly unaffected (display got fixed at around 10am their time and the event started at 3pm their time, luckyyyy). And those on the west coast of the US were also unaffected (display fixed at around 7pm, event started at midnight).

While UTC+8 and the surrounding timezonesmay constitute a large number of AGG players, the presence in other parts of the world should not be ignored. :c One remedy is a failure for a compensation because 1) it doesn't make sense and 2) the display error affected quite some players and their guilds. (Plus it's just bad customer service haha I'm not expecting anything glorious, but it's just bad for customer service if you give something as compensation that doesn't even make sense pfft)
