One Last Argument For How To Fix The Capsule Abuse

Odyssey Sona·Jan 13, 2019·1 votes·1,211 views

Instead of Riot working with the staff they have, they hire the amount of staff they'd need to roll back everything individually over the course of one month.

Riot could then earn back the money for reverting the game to the state it should be through the good will of the players, the fact that people actually have to buy skins again, etc.

It's nothing but good PR, and it would create tons of temporary jobs and do general good for everyone except the bug abusers.

Riot is literally being super greedy, and showing their ill will to all of the loyal players who didn't bug abuse. Of course they aren't going to do this. I'm not going to make anymore posts about this, but if you can think up a better solution let me know because I can't think of one outside of rewarding everyone to even out the playing field.

Why should they punish players who did nothing wrong for Riot's mistake?

Why are you trying to justify bug abuse? In general bug abusers are punished for abusing bugs. Everyone knew 1 BE capsules were not an intended feature, so they bought as much as they could while it lasted because they knew it wasn't supposed to last. They punished drop hackers, so why don't they punish thieves?

How do people know that isn't intended? Any normal person would have assumed that the price listed is the price Riot wanted to list.

It's like airline mistake fares - yeah, you may think it's not their intended fare, but they posted it so any normal person would assume it's intentional.

Rolling back the game state could cause more problems than anything, It's an extremely large task finding everyone that purchased the capsules for 1 BE and identifying what skin(s) they got through the database with the purchase of the 1 BE capsule

What does this have to do with capsules or bug abuse?

That's impossibly cost inefficient. They'd have to hire people, train them in League's coding (could take months), then revert it back...

And that entire time they'd have to not fuck up and revert too much.

It's technically possible, yes. It's not feasible, however. It's better for everyone to just move on from it.

Then everyone should be compensated just like in literally any other game. It is very simple.

Why should Riot throw away that much money?

Less than 1% of people would have been able to exploit this glitch, and they got maybe $100 in free shit. Riot wouldn't have been able to pinpoint the exact value of it anyways, and it'd be a fuckton of money down the drain for something like this.

And skins provide no actual in-game benefit, so it's not like they're upsetting the actual fairness of the game.
