PSA: Rollback

[Nika]

Can't you just take credits from those who abused this instead of rolling back everything and punishing players uninvolved and not ever related to this oversight abuse?

That would heavily depend if the server logs any purchases from/to POBs, their quantity, price and player. If they do not have such information I guess it is technically impossible*. But there is also the problem of - what of 3rd parties that then traded with said player and exchanged something for the ill-gotten money? Then they have to be reset too in order not to benefit from the situation or get cheated out of their goods/services.

As players have been able to lift the equivalent of many billions of credits off of PoBs in a matter of minutes,

Based off that I would suppose the staff have that information though the wording is vague enough to also speculate the opposite. But there's also the question of why should I, who played fair and square, is supposed to suffer because a bunch of folks decided it's a good idea to abuse a loophole?

It will eventually be a mildly irritating inconvenience I will get over, if I'm honest, but right now also a question of principle. Though if choosing between this issue and releasing hotfixes I'd prefer to see the latter.

Believe us that the rollback is the last resort, and sadly it is the only option at the moment (either that, or letting people steal old money billions and get away with it).

Honestly, just let them? I mean, already half the populace except those who have thrown a tantrum before the patch have Barges that are worth absolutely astronomic sums of credits and a lot more on top of that. Then again, I am probably just overlooking the fact that CAU refunds are also returning and personally for me, there is more positive in the rollback than negative.
