But they didn't specify in game if it was server or cross-server, on forum I believe they said it was cross-server. Before spending money, check, make sure it is 100% in your bracket only. I don't blame this all on OASIS.

See, it doesn't say top 10 server only or cross server in game, so if you don't know what top it is you don't recharge.

On forum they made sure to specify it's cross-server, a smart player would go on forum and see what top they're talking about, if they dont say it's server only specifically, then don't recharge.

So in the end it's the player who misunderstood because of a visual bug in game, which, even if it is a visual bug, it isn't a visual bug that says server-only top 10. It just says top 10.

Now OASIS if they play nice they could give you a refund or the prize you are supposed to get based on your server rankings, but I don't see them obligated to do this, just a nice thing to do to keep you from quitting.

First of all, the post about the events of May 24th with the Sunflower Covenant Event was last edited on the same date and hour it was initially posted by NarutoSupport. Take a look:

And also cretude said his friend knew it was cross-server, so it seems you're just making stuff up. To be honest if you guys have time to complain about being scammed by a visual bug on forum then you probably also checked the events a day before even because you were curios what came next, and if you were interested enough to pay 200 dollars on a certain event then you probably also read it's description carefully.

You go into that restaurant and order food knowing you need to be top 10 (actually top 3) to get best food, you ask yourself top 10 where? This restaurant, or in every restaurant of this type in the region? You gamble thinking it's top 10 in this restaurant yolo, when you know this certain restaurant has many events to buy food that are cross restaurant, even this one was cross server (restaurant) before if I recall, but they changed the name of the event, got a visual bug in and that's it, it's restaurant only event now? On the internet it says top 10 in restaurants everywhere.

Smart players know they end up spending 10x the price of the same food in this event than in another event, and they don't bother spending in the first place, they wait for a better deal because they know there is no chance they get food because there is always guy with bigger wallet.

It is still correct, but incomplete description.

And tbh, it is wrong to spend 200 dollars and get nothing back, in a game as well, that's even worse.

It is also wrong that you can't see the cross-server rankings, only rankings in your bracket so you have no idea if you're gonna get anything, it's like burning money.

And this event is not even a whale event, it's a super whale event.

For the reasons above I never ever thought of spending in this particular event, but you guys threw money without even checking, making double sure if it's cross or not.

You shouldn't be required to ask in forums, but when you read the in game description and it is ambiguous, almost as if something is missing, then it is common sense to check.

In this case it said Top 10, it could be either Top 10 of your own server, Top 10 in your merged servers, Top 10 cross-server, so don't spend unless you are sure which one it is. It was highly likely it could of been Top 10 cross-server since there have been many events like that before, including this one but I believe it was called Sakura Flowers or something. I don't really know since I disregarded this event instantly as bad.

Like I said this event is very shady, showing rakings only from your server when it is cross-server, but that also makes it a gambling event, you don't know how much the top player spent and you pay more thinking you beat him and get the good rewards. The chances are so low, from thousands of people you to be the one in top 3.

It clearly caused alot of frustration to all of you, spending money and getting nothing in return, so your reactions are very negative and that is normal. But as long as Oasis specified on forum it is a cross-server event, and in game it is only a visual bug, it wasn't done on purpose, you can't really blame them no matter how shady it is. The shady part isn't the event in game omitting to say it is cross server, but not showing the real rankings.

Let this be a good lesson to you and think before you spend. ;)

Conclusion:
Both the players and Oasis is at fault here.

Lol, for me it's shocking and maybe a little funny you throw that kind of money away without knowing for sure what it is you are doing, which is a gamble. From what I recall this event was always cross-server but with a different name, and the rankings I believe were always shown like this. Because think about it, if it wasn't cross-server everyone would get top rewards with only the registration, a few ingots recharged and by stacking stamina potions. 50 x 200 sunflowers = 10000 ingots for a 20000 thousand ingot ninja and some other stuff. That isn't right, you shouldn't get a 50% discount when it's part your fault cause you didn't check, and that is also not fair for those who spent 1000 dollars on this.

I said this event is shady, but the only thing that is different is that visual bug in game, it's not the first time this event appears. I also don't blame it all on the players, the visual bug of the in game event description is Oasis's mistake, but that's about it. But yea, I see some of you threatening to sue the company and stuff like this, all because you didn't take the time to check the forum, before recharging and spending aimlessly. How is that right? I do believe you deserve some sort of compensation, a refund maybe, but not the top prize.

I believe that one was not cross because the reward was weak, and I'm not rubbing salt I said how it is, max you deserve is a refund, but you're pushing it to get the top prize for half the price or even lower.

Haha, I'm not kissing anyones behind, I presented the bad on both sides and I just don't want to fight Edo Tobiramas everywhere when I go in Decisive Bonds. Whenever a new exclusive ninja appears I don't know what happens that everyone gets him all of the sudden. Like they did with Hokage Minato because of that Kaizer issue, they made him available in every event.

There have been many rip offs indeed, but you jumped straight into them knowing it was risky. Trying to get ninjas on RNG events when you know there is a chance you might not get what you wanted at all, and then blaming it on the game. Indeed, when they played with the chances to get a certain ninja in rng and made it different from player to player, higher chance to get the certain character if you are lower level/ power and lower if you are higher level/power, that was a big rip off. I expected the jackpot prize to be 1-5% for everyone, but even 0.01% for some? That isn't right.

And let me tell you this, in lucky stars for example, you go for it only if you want the redeemables as well, not only the jackpot ninja.

But in this event in particular, there is the change to spend and get absolutely nothing, and you just made a big donation to OASIS.

I think we are good since we didn't fall for it. And it seems you didn't read the rules good enough otherwise you would notice it was cross server when reading on the forum! But that's it, you do deserve a compensation and you will probably get one with in-game items, and at best a refund but that is unlikely from what I see.

First of all how do I know the forum post where it doesn't show cross server is not edited? When I go on the original post by Daise it was edited but at the same hour and second it was posted, and some players knew from forum it was cross server.

Secondly, not all events show "Local" in description because the rewards are instant, they don't need to specify it's local there since it's 100% obvious, but on these raffle type events, 90% of the time they are cross server!

And honestly now, Edo Tobirama + red chakra rune pack + purification breakthrough pill as a prize for 200~ flowers in Sunflower Covenant when about 30 or even more are free when you stacked stamina potions is not fair for the rest of the player base!

At most you deserve a refund but in coupons, not ingots. Imagine someone spending 2k on RNG event and then complaining he wants his coupons back when he knew it was a gamble, but he made himself believe he deserves 18k coupon ninja with only 2k when it is all luck, and at least they give some other items there as well. In your case you have more of a base to complain because they didn't notice a visual bug in the events description, but you still could of went around this and checked more thoroughly before spending money like that.

It isn't RNG but there is luck involved, the reason it is cross server is because if it was server only, you could talk to each other and this month for example one of your group mates decides to get Edo Tobirama, he would get him with only 200 flowers, next another group mate, and so on, since there are about 40-50 active players per server, and only 5-6 real spenders!

And the reason you can't see the cross rankings it's because it is a gamble, you give your price and hope it is enough, but this at the end of the day it's just a shady super whale event. Worst event to get a new ninja in my opinion, since you get him at 5x his original price, and he isn't even that good, and will fall off eventually.

The local events don't have "not cross" in the description because it is obvious, they just give the event and that's it, they don't say whether it's local or not local.

Raffle type events are usually cross server, but when they are not, then they specify they are local, look at wheel of fortune for example.

"this Ranking is not a Cross-Server Ranking"

And when you go at the original post about Sunflower Covenant which was known to be cross-server, but with changed name, they specified it is cross-server.

So what they should do is give you a compensation of 80% coupons returned and change the event so it shows rankings from other servers, so you know exactly how much you need to spend in order to get the rewards!
