if it is indeed a bug it shouldnt have stayed for so long.

in either case good thing i reforged my tools before upgrading them

This post is not addressed to the Mods or GL's, its not their fault, i only ask that they report it, as it is, to the actual decision makers, those are the ones at fault.

Well its confirmed WE GOT SHAFTED again

So with 2.0 they changed the way ninja tools stats worked, no1 thought it was a problem.
And yes it was talked over and over, on this forum, at the time, that the stats were now all gold for every gold/red ninja tool, and no1 thought it was a bug, just a new part of the update.

Months later what we had get acostummed to, a.k.a. became part of the feature, gets changed back and suddently the previous way of working was now considered a bug that no1 knew about, YE SURE.

This is again, a way of trying to milk money of the players, because i bet in a few weeks, the purple items that we got from UT with 1 gold stat, will start to pop out either in shops or in events. Not to mention that the events gold items will for sure come with only gold stats as well.

You made it part of the function by letting it stay there for so long, you have no right to go back and change it just because you may make a bit more money of it.

It won't affect me personally because, as i said before, I reforged all my items before this happened, and i still have some left in my bags, but other players didn't and they should have the same access to the items i did.

RESPECT IS EARNED, stop with this behaviour, and then complain the community is toxic.YOU MAKE IT TOXIC, by always scamming the players.

For once, own up to the mistakes and fix the * problem, maybe then you will have a better understanding community. There isn't 1 week where we dont see this happen, we keep an open mind and try to understand what is going on, but you keep changing the rules of the game without previous notice, without proper testing, without even respecting us.
You just expect us to take it and shut up? Is this a dictatorship?

Yes some players will ask for stuff you cant do, but most of us just ask for fairness and that fairness needs to be measured case by case, sometimes i do agree with what is being done and i will say it, but unfortunatelly 80% of the times, like in this case, its the company fault.

yes they kept some tools with gold stats on it (Red Gourd for example), but the gold stat got a smaller value compared to what it used to be.
i'm talking a drop in at least 20 points per stat if not more.

This is a warning
If people want t spend for those stats be my guest, but if everytime they take something free away from the game players go running to buy the worst quallity paid "replacement", be prepared to see everything free get removed and placed at higher cost and lower quality at the shops and events. And you wont be able to complain because you told them that is what you wanted.
If on the other hand you want things to change for the better DO NOT BUY for at least 2-3 months if not more, stuff related to this feature downgrade and eventually they will change it back because they wont e making money with it.
