Serious Customer Support problems - CG needs to escalate this

So CG makes a change that leads to unintended Crystal purchases. Like many, I took a screen shot and raised a Customer Support ticket as soon as I could....

... spent a long time with Cust Support chat, to be told he would look into it...

... and then nothing. Issue was "closed" from their side with no reply to me.

So I opened another ticket after CG posted the developer forum post saying they would refund the unitended purchase of crystals, referred to my old case number, spent 50 mins with Cust Support chat.... to have that session time out, and start again with someone else....

... so here I am now over an hour on chat....
1. They have the full details
2. They have screen shot showing the unintended purpose
3. I have confirmed my details now multiple times
4. I have given them the link to CG's post and even the text that clearly states:

We also recognize that players may have accidentally purchased these items out of habit. If you unintentionally made Crystal purchases from the top 4 slots that were previously for Credits, please contact support to receive the Crystals you spent on these items.
NOTE: This is limited to 4 crystal purchases made in Shipments on 3/2/2022.


Apparently this is still not enough and it has to be escalated to the "team".... which after 20 minutes of more waiting tells me....

Refund will be made... but this was way too long for a simple, well documented case...

What would it have taken if this was complex? or there was missing information?
  • It’s like a cable company (remember those) that you’re trying to quit. Spend hours trying to figure out how to cancel cable only to keep getting billed. Then when you complain to help desk they can’t seem to find any case notes to help you. Then you start the process all over again.
  • On the contrary for me, I clicked on the link they provided. I entered a chat with support, provided my ally code. It did take a while but was told they were allowed to make a one time refund exception and I was not only refunded the 1280 crystals I spent but also had a 1000 crystal inconvenience gift in my inbox. Definitely worth a shot if you have half hour to kill to spend on chat with them

    Just curious...HOW did you spend 1280 crystals "by accident"?
    And BTW...had TWO issues with customer support...both times i didnt have access to "real time chat", not sure if due to my region or the time i tried to contact them. Left explanation on chat, 8h later all was sorted out...(but got no gift :( )

    Because 32 shards of armorer cost 1280 crystals in the shop and it was accidently clicked on and purchased because cg moved the credit purchases down
