WOT 300 free gold coins.

I am so confused about MWO game. WOT which I just started playing after the april 2 patch game breaker. Had a the same forum password/mailer issue we did and what did the the company do. Well 300 free gold coins for you to change you password.
Yes 300, why A) to show good will for the attempted breach b} to make sure most chg it. So why the hell did MWO not do the same.
Now 300 is not a lot but it does not matter. It is something for a opps , for i am sorry. here we get it a beta this it a beta that.

MWO Dev you can learn alot from WOT.. From their good and bad.

edit 300gold = 300 mc {answer to someone question}

Wouldn't you rather they work on game destroying bugs then handing out free c-bills? Whats the point of the c-bills if you can't really use them?

The point of your post is...? I have been playing MWO since it went to open beta, and I have no idea what your getting at. I can only remember one single security breach, and it had very little impact. It was dealt with very quickly, and we were told what happened. Why would we deserve MC's?

the point is it was a breach. They{MWO dev} took the approach of waiting for the forums to get uptight about it and still did acted like it was not big deal.
WOT same type of breach and bam here 300 gold just for the trouble. Oh yea we were not told about it the forums until it was reported by players after getting emails. So sorry your facts, I think is a bit off. Plus from what I have seen on WOT forums. Then they had a game breaking bugs also got some type of free items or it was fixed via a roll back within 24hours. Hell they have a open test before a patch is even rolled out{ Yes I knoe we "suppose to" be getting this}.

?? everyone wants a company that knows customer support and/ or acknowledge a mistake. MWO seem incapable of doing this. I have enough reports to support and email back to show this.
Oh like you,I have paid money. For my it was llya for my son, so getting 2 bucks back is nothing :) .

There's a big difference between a company doing right by their customers and placating an attempt at fleecing under the guise of good customer service.

My bigger issue with the OP is the pretense that because WOT made this grand gesture, that PGI is somehow negligent in properly fluffing our pillows.

300 MC is a drop in the bucket individually but when you take the entire playing community into account it's a bit more impractical....

Add to that the fact that, as many members here like to remind us, WOT is a well ensconced game with a huge, rabid core membership (and have reaped the benefit of doing so) thus their pockets are a little more flexible with flippant spending.

I think you need a poll to ask whether anyone thinks the incredibly P2W WOT should be a model for ANYTHING in MWO.

lol know someone was going to say P2W like coolant flush is not. yes they have a opson of getting the same via exp. As garth said the avg play is 10 games a day per player. the amount of time need to get 25k GXP is (if each game= 500 xp x 10 x 5%= 250gxp}So it would take 100days or about 3 month. So while you are grinding money bags spends Mc and alpha you till your grind is complete, Sound like P2w to me.

Hmm. We have less people and it cost nothing to hit a few Key to add good will. Goodwill normally = more people = more money
I have 4 service call tomorrow 2 are good will calls that the customer need something that will take me {or my people} 5 min to look over. That customer will in turn tell other about me because my business came over and glad-handed them. I have a computer consulting business and do idy programming for other games. Giving away something that cost you nothing is standard good business practice. In the long run that freebee will pay you 2x at a minimum.
