A topiary!!!!!!! They apologised for a VISUAL glitch and compensated me for a list first place and shinies spent with a freaking topiary! We have all opted out now!

Oh my. This is outrageous.
A topiary? For crying out loud! Talk about add insult to injury.
It's beyond ridiculous.
Reminds me of this:
"You must bring us ---- a Shrubbery!!
(One that looks nice)
(and is not too expensive)
Otherwise we shall say NI! to you, again!"
But seriously, I know that the compensation you received is not what you were looking for. :facepalm:
Truthfully, I am not sure how SC could ever restore cups or places to folks who got zapped out of the cups by the bug. :(
I'm so sorry y'all are so frustrated.
You are not alone, and you are being heard.
:heart:
:heart::heart:
Honestly, Perky you are the light at the end of the tunnel! You are currently doing a moderator job.
My sincere kudos all go to you. Thank you for being here!

Well I hope it was a NICE topiary. Cough cough. So sorry. Sc has an odd way of making compensation and trying to appease players when they totally drop the ball. I've gotten some very strange "gifts" for my "trouble" before. Once a windmill appeared in a nice box on my front step. I don't remember the circumstances of why they thought I needed a windmill, but I think it was a lost diamond issue. I am pretty sure I would much rather have had my diamonds back at that point.
I am thoroughly happy with the derby compensation I received -- we finished 4th, and without the bug, should have been in the cups. I got a rocking horse (YAY) a small derby jump (YAY) and 3 bolts (YAY YAY YAY), plus a very apologetic note.
I COMPLETELY understand how a player or NH that dropped a lot of diamonds can feel they did not get "made whole" by the compensation of pixel decors. In that case, I'd go back to support and say, 'I spent X diamonds to win, and the bug prevented me from benefitting from the advantage I bought with those diamonds. I need to be compensated for THAT loss' -- See what happens, hope for a refund of lost diamonds.
But as I said, I am thrilled with my decor prizes, since I didn't drop diamonds in the Derby.
Ultimately, it it is a matter of perspective about whether one is happy with the compensation or not. I didn't spend anything that cost real money on the Derby, so I am happy with pixels and the nice note -- AND THE ROCKING HORSE I HAVE WANTED FOR MONTHS!!! :) :) :)
Hi,
Our neighborhood was also robbed of another gold trophy,
Both of us who were opted in had each done 10 x 320 in a bit over two days to reach the lead well before any other teams only to have it taken from us.
Support apologized and sent me a horse jump, i don't wish to seem ungrateful but i already have 16 horse jumps so it really doesn't make up for all the hard work and diamonds.
There was a maintenance break saying something about returning scores back to what they should have been or something like that, just wondering if anyone can elaborate on what was done in maintenance ?
From what Nick wrote over in the news section, the maintenance was to address the issue of those NHs who were demoted a league due to the derby bug, and "other things" -- not sure what those other things were, but I imagine they were also derby-related in some way.Quote:
