After these 2,5 weeks I can do nothing but conclude that everybody in charge at Amazon gaming are a bunch of greedy incompetent cunts

If they consumed the Aura, which they most likely have now considering AGS just gave them a heads up…nothing will happen and the rest of us will have to pay for 1 year sub while still being stuck in queues with our own paid Aura. This is extremely bad.
The way EU is being treated right now by Amazon is so disrespectful.
I wouldn’t be too sure. There is money involved in the crystalline aura, so I could see them detect and adjust that part too.
Amazon and planning. Two things that don’t go together.
Server wide claims for account wide benefits is definitely a sign of inexperience and should be avoided at all costs. Blue gems are kind of tricky since they are kind of server wide but can be used for one account wide purchase. They need to implement a flag or system to make some rewards only claimable once per account.
Though it was linked above, I wanted to reiterate that we will be removing this from accounts (both consumed Aura and the items that were obtained this way)

@Roxx Thank you for clearing this up and responding to this post!! I will update my community and friends.
just don’t forget to send them an official warning, or maybe 2 or 3 days of ban, to help them understand.
Punishment is a way to teach, harsh but it works
LoL … Does that mean people who play only on EU central will be safe against this removal? I’m worried about it will be some mistake again / no offense against you and your development team. But I have saved my aurora from playing before release - gifts from you, etc. in storage and I’m scared to lose it.
This will only remove the Aura that was received as a result of this event

Idk what event you mean. I hear rumors about EUW before anyway. Is a chance to get this 1-year aurora from this event now for EUW and use it only there? Or its internal problem connected with aurora was used for both regions once you will use it ?
Not important anymore since Roxx has cleared it up and all the aura and blue crystals used to buy further aura will be removed. It was unique rewards given on EU West to make it more appealing to move to, except people were not moving to EU West, just making characters to claim rewards that gave account wide effects (The Aura) and still continue playing on EU Central giving them a huge advantage of 365 days subscription over normal players who wouldn’t get that who continued to just play on EU Central. The issue is all cleared up now, this is no longer possible, they patched it this morning and will be removing the Aura gained via those EU West Login Rewards. So if this is a fact and is being rolled out, this means the entire playbase will be treated equally and that was my biggest concern, not the exploit itself, but players potentially being treated differently and getting a edge over other players for essentially no effort.
Problem fixed. No longer a problem. I await to see the actual evidence and results of this though. I believe the community deserves the transparency around this on an official post.

You seem to be pretty happy of how amazon once again fucks us over… let me guess, you don‘t have an account on EUW.
Amazon is not doing anything correct here, so many issues left uncommented/unsolved: big queues, aura not showing up, matchmaking broken, cant create character, thousands of bots on every server farming gold, powerpass completing all roster quests making it unable to claim any roster quest reward you haven‘t done before powerpassing, etc
But beware when players can get free aura, this is where we need to act FAST! -_-

I would say the fact lies more in they promised this aura and crystals, which would be the carrot to have people move to EUW. Those people that planned and started new characters to free up space, now basically get told “nah, you should have stayed in EUC buddy. We got you loser!”, lol.
With that said… if they offered 2-3 different of the most common pet chests as a patch I would not personally be against it. Would make up for my lost Twitch drops.
Absolutely correct
Hi. Again…I’m sorry that you’re always the one getting this stuff but…I really would like clarification on this
People that didn’t abuse this are also going to lose the gifted aura? (aka, people that only created characters on one server and redeemed the aura ONCE )
If Yes - why? This was part of the incentive to move to EUW.

If you are on EUW, why does it matter? The rewards were more enticing. Not only that but people were exploiting it to continue playing on EU Central meaning queue times are practically the same as before. I would have been unhappy knowing that exploiters got 1 years free worth of subscription, yes. But we’ve been told this is being fixed and removed from players so as to keep it fair across all regions/players. Why would i not be happy about that?
Do you think im happy I have to still sit in 15K queues because I’ve marked this post as Solved since Roxx responded? What part of this makes you think I am happy with AGS exactly? This post is SPECIFICALLY about this particular problem. I am happy with THIS issue being solved.
Exactly what Flamez said and now you are being sour about how some people got an advantage cause they payed attention to the incompetency of amazon and managed to get a benefit out of all this bullshit. Now people like you screwing us over again with your whining. It should be us gamers united against amazon for all the ‘exploits’ they pulled on us. You are a sad person delegate and I feel sorry for the people who have to deal with you in real life
