    WARNING: This Could Happen To You

    First off, I'll give two versions:

    #1: A.D.D. Version

    I got permanently banned just a couple of days before the last "10 crate" event. I proved them wrong regarding their allogations, and stated I wanted to be compensated for Funzio/Gree's wrongly banning me.

    #2: Detailed Version

    So days before the last "10 crate" event, I was unable to log into MW and a pop up stated I had to contact Funzio. Their reply to me was that I had been permanently banned due to their detection of "Fraudulent in-app purchases" during the previous gold sale.

    So I sent the iTunes receipts to them hoping to get it resolved before the crate event started. NOT A CHANCE! In my panic, I contacted CCM to help get this resolved, and I wanted an explanation how this could happen to someone who's been playing fair, and has bought vaults of gold in the past, supporting MW.

    1-2 hours before the event ended, they lifted my ban, stating that even though their servers still showed that the purchases weren't "actually paid for", they will lift the ban due to my receipts.

    I sent a pm to CCM saying that it was unfair and that I lost A LOT due to this Funzio error. Upgrade time, in-game cash, and most importantly, the prizes from the event...yes, I use the Mcdoc method, and it does work...previous crate event, all 10 items in about 15 minutes.

    CCM stated that I didn't really prove that I didn't cheat, and besides, they don't compensate banned players. So I sent a statement of my credit card and support said to something like "Hm, I guess you did pay".

    No sorry no nothing from Funzio. Regarding compensation, my question is what about players that you wrongly ban? Does Funzio feel any regret or obligation to fix a wrong? CCM, are you out there? You didn't reply to my last pm.

    Am I wrong for feeling cheated and not compensated? I feel especially screwed due to there being no more 10 crate events.

    Wow, I am really sorry to hear this, ckos. You can forget event prizes, but you definitely deserve apologies and at least some game cash/upgrades/gold compensation. I still don't understand why they are so eager to make some of gold spenders mad... It is really possible to avoid majority of the cases I hear about.

    Apparently a sh!t ton of gold players have been getting banned for fraudulent purchases. 95% of them seem to be false bans. What's up with that? Something going on lately?

    Also have no idea why Funzio/GREE refuses to give compensation for serious issues such as banning or huge mess-ups on tweaks/updates/events. Yet they agree to compensate everyone for their personal misclicks and other little problems. Not saying the compensation they do give is a bad thing, but why can't they compensate people when it really matters as well.

    A Russia hacker a while back used an DHS hack to allow people to make fake purchases, he basically replicated IN-APP server side code and fooled APPs into thinking purchases were legitimate.

    I'm sure some of the legitimate purchases during the time this worked, are showing up as illegitimate for Funzio. I'd take it up with Apple.

    I never ever ask them for any compensation.

    I just describe what happened, how much money was lost, what is the bug or problem...

    They ALWAYS feel bad enough to compensate me lavishly

    I am certain, that asking for compensation or blaming them will simply trigger their self-defense reactions which makes it really hard on them to admit anything or do the right thing.

    Its impossible to get in app purchases for free on a sever sided game. I think they just made something up to ban you!

    Funny you said that.

    The only thing that happened, was me sending in a ticket for the gold bonus incentive. I got my reply from CJ denying the bonus, and the next day I was banned. I really don't think that was the case though.

    Other wise there would have been many more customers banned. Wouldn't you think?
