Two massive bugs occurred recently on the free to play game wartune in which I like to bring up.
Free mounts
A post was made one random day claiming that there were people making many of the same mount card and provided screenshots of players making the mount. The next day, R2 did an emergency maintenance fixing it. (Shockingly, R2 thought players were entitled to know why they were doing a maintenance.) Having the mount already activated, any extra mount cards you received can be converted into beast souls which you can use to buy other mounts. As to date, no announcement was made if they removed mount cards, beast souls, and/or other mounts to any accounts that has utilized this bug. Wartune has my guess over 200 mounts. Wartune has been rolling out a new mount every week and you probably have to spend over $100 each week to get the new mount unless you get lucky.
Making almost unlimited duplicate items:
Apparently, wartune decided to do so called "emergency maintenance" early Monday morning on December 14th. (Apparently r2 thought that their players weren't entitled to the reason for this maintenance. They usually do a weekly maintenance early Thursday morning.) So I checked another source and I found the following:
"Recently, some players have been reported to use irregular methods to get Gems. Thankfully, related bugs were fixed during the emergency maintenance on 12/14. Proficient City reserves the right to take measures against any illegal operations."
It took R2 25 hours after maintenance before finally thinking that their players were entitled to information about the bug/gem issue. R2/proficient city claimed that all affected players were removed although there were many players claiming that players who utilized this bug never had all of their extra items removed. Then, the weekly maintenance for 12/17 occurred in which they finally removed the duplicate items to players who utilized the bug & gave them a five day ban.
You would think problem solved? Nope. Apparently there were players complaining in the forms that they were banned but didn't utilized the bug. R2 admitted about 23 hours after 12/17 maintenance that there were players who were banned incorrectly and players who had incorrectly their gems removed. Based on some of the posts, some heavy cashers were banned... Who know what they determined who got banned and who wasn't.
Some info on how this bug worked: Wartune developers have added new inventory space dedicated for items like gems, eudemon crystals, and resistance crystals. (All of the items stored was used to load items onto your equipment or your battle protection) Here is a video on how a player was able to utilize this bug.
