For over a year now, I’ve been playing alongside some really great people. One of those players is BBBOMBER, or as we call him, b3. I’ve grown alongside b3 in this game, and as my roster has grown to include many maxed 3 stars and well developed 4 stars, his has largely stayed the same. He occasionally maxes a 3 star he really likes, but overall, he doesn’t mess with what works for him. You see, long ago we figured what having a nice roster does to scaling in PvE. As a result, b3 has purposely kept his roster light to help him exceed in his favorite aspect of the game. He makes last hour PvP runs to maximize getting first place, and has done so consistently. And we don’t mind his lower season score because he carries us through PvE like a boss. However, keeping your roster light after playing a year in top 100/50 alliances has an interesting side effect. You sit on a mountain of ISO and HP. He has an ISO bank of nearly 2 million and over 40k hp. This didn’t happen overnight, but over the course of the year in, if you only max say 5 or 6 three stars and leave the rest alone, you find yourself with a nice purse instead of a nice roster.
So last week, when b3 jumped out to his typical commanding lead in the Simulator, it wasn’t entirely shocking when he showed up missing from our alliance. We’ve always joked that sitting on a stockpile could have him relegated to the sandbox, but it didn’t make it any easier to take when it actually happened. We assume that someone saw his score in Simulator, thought it unrealistically high, and reported him as a cheater. From there, it seems an employee at d3 looked him up, took a cursory glance at his stockpile, and agreed. As a result, we’ve been reaching out to d3 to try and have the situation amended. TheEnlightened have left ourselves at 19 members for nearly every event to ensure that when reinstated, b3 will receive all deserved rewards. And to his credit, David Hi-Fi has responded directly to our inquiries. However, the results have been unsatisfying to say the least. A decision that was made hastily on the part of the company, sandboxing an innocent player, which likely took a few minutes, has taken over a week to amend, and is as yet unresolved. All of the inquiries made by me on his behalf were answered much more quickly then the affected player. The difference, I’ve got a few bucks invested in this game, and he does not. It leaves me wondering if he has been given a low priority status, even as he has been playing now for over a year.
Community, I ask for your help. I can only make a plea to you to ask d3 to expedite his situation. He’s a solid player, just do a search here on the forums of the ign BBBOMBER to see what others have said about him, and how long they’ve been saying it. He needs your help, the other 19 of TheEnlightened need your help. Comment here or just rate this post positively as a show of support. Share any similar experiences you know of, that could help our morale. This is the only tool we have left in our arsenal, please help us out. Thanks in advance to those that do!
