its funny to hear people say its BB fault and they should just live with it....to them people i say this.
if you forgot to lock your window (bug) and a thief opened it (exploited it) stole all your stuff would you just say ah its my fault i dont want my stuff back when the police catch them....i think not.
also would the thief argue that its not my fault they did'nt lock the window so i should be able to keep all the items i stole ?.......
as for BB the police once catching the thief would not allow them to keep some of the stuff either....
if i was throwing stuff out the windows would an innocent passer by be a thief if he kept the items thrown out on the pavement?
these storehouses were thrown on the pavement, i got an extra one from the 15 min test session on the 1st day, leveled it up asap, very happy, thanks BB
nearly, but not quite makes up for the 2400 useless footballs i have in storage, stupid me thought the shop was open for another few days after teh event closed like every other event, backed up by me thinking the 12 days allowed to complete the final would actually be 12 days not 5, thanks BB, yes, i should have read the announcements a lil more carefully but i tend to leave my settlers window open 24/7 & dont read them everyday
Bug?
or how about we creat a bug and then force people, by threatening bans, to spend more money on the game creating more revenue for the company.
Fantastic idea with a great cover up, you deserve a promotion !!!!
This is a complete load of censored !!!!
Please do not use profanity

I didn't use the exploit and really don't care about that some did, as that do not negatively affect my playtime experience.
Thou ATM, on testserver, BB seems to go for an Imp Storehouse entrance change. THAT's something I care about.
If BB think it's a great idea to move the entrance, then they could have handled this a lot better.. How about letting everyone keep 4 imp storehouse and give some extra to those not using the exploit...and also announce about the entrance change?!?
Iike they ever teII us anything worth knowing :/
?? i dont have 4 imp houses ?? will i be ban then if i dont return one to star ?
I am loving this thread.
Some people may have got one or two extra 'by mistake' or through ignorance. Well done BB for ignoring this group as not attempting to create an unfair advantage.
Some people will have got loads through deliberately exploiting a flaw in what is to start with buggy code. I have heard of people getting over 10 this way and many that went on to sell them for top prices making maybe 1/4 million coins. Well done BB for targeting the group that deliberately exploited the bug and created a significant advantage.
And for all the righteous people saying I got loads and gave them away for free, well done to you but its not difficult to ask for them back. After all the cynic in me says many will have offered to loan them out for a few weeks whilst waiting to see if BB try to get them back.....
PS - Heres hoping that BB end up maybe banning hundreds of accounts. Especially those multi accounters that will have really abused this flaw. Will be one way to reduce tonights lag with a single script.

So the points to be made here as long as I'm concerned are as follows:
1.BB and the "righteous" people supporting BB's claim over the extra storehouses (=the ones that didn't manage to get enough of them using the bug for whatever reason) keep talking about the ToS stating that this is not allowed but I have yet to see someone link the actual point in the ToS that supports this.
2.BB decides that if you have up to 3 storehouses you're cool but those getting 4 are marked as "cheaters" and "hackers". I really don't appreciate this kind of namecalling especially if BB's own mistake made this possible to happen. There is a guy (or more) responsible to test this thing and if he's not doing his job right you should consider placing the blame on him and not annoy the players who found out about this and then shared this knowledge with their friends (like I and I hope most others did).
3.Also if you want the players to return the storehouses back you should at least credit back the resources wasted in the upgrade of the said storehouses and also the ones used in the upgrade of the storehouses that were used in the place of those new ones.
4.Many people said that they want their money back if BB bans their accounts. We all know that something like this is never going to happen as we also know that BB is NEVER going to ban players that spend their money on the game over a couple of lame buildings. I don't think they will ban people who pay them just because a bug/glitch gave them some extra "unfair" resources.
With these thoughts in mind I have decided to NOT return everything to star menu and advice my guildmates to do the same. If the BB decides to ban us it's their loss more than ours. THEY are going to lose the money that we would have spent in the game in the future. Other similar games would welcome this cash I'm sure.
P.S.:Hey BB! When is PvP coming? I guess you were too busy "testing" the proper release of the football event, right? :P
Somebody wrote here that it was a bug and people knew it was a bug.
I did not know it was a bug. I noticed i had one extra and i wondered how come there's (in star menu) another one after i just built one in my island.
after that i read from the chat that it was a bug.
I didn't exploit it, i did not try to sell it or get some more, but i did build it to my island since there was no information from the BB about the extra storehouse here in this forum. So i did take a conscious risk and built also the extra one in my island.
But now it is demolished again and in my star menu, although i did belong to that group, that had permission to keep the extra one. It is not that big of a loss for me, if BB take it away. I get the upgrading resources back quite easily. For some other player issue could be worse.
I do wish, that BB would have made information here on this forum about the situation right away so that people would not have gone and build their extra storehouses in the heat of the moment.
