I still don't think it's right to use pvp protection as a selling point and then change that later on.
I did a forum search for this.
I can't find anywhere that this is said by a staff member, or compbatant himself.
The only person I can find that actually says it is - you Ryaca.
This just goes to an age old point that I've made time and again.
Don't believe every rumour you hear in the game.
If you ask me, the PvP protection initially offered by houses sounds like a bug - one that was fixed, due to massive abuse.
So, point your fingers at the clowns who tend to ruin everything in the game.
PvP protection zones near shops etc. was changed some time ago.
Like take the wagon map for instance - the range was increased in a way I think is dumb.
It extends well across the bridge, way too far IMO.
But whatever. It was changed, and changes happen.
Same goes for towns. The range was increased in some places, and decreased in others.
The idea that the church would offer some protection makes logical sense to me.
The highlander reference was fun too.
This game is going on 5 years old now.
In that time, it has changed a lot.
With each change, many players have claimed how it has "ruined the game".
This even includes the addition of diagonal walking. Still can't figure that one out.
These players have also said things like "I'll never play again", "I wish I never spent money", etc.
Some of them actually meant it. Most did not.
But, I don't think a single refund was ever given for this reason.
There are rules (and laws) that cover it. Don't believe me, try reading the Google Play TOS sometime.
If you make an uneducated purchase, or a purchase on assumption, that's really your fault.
The world is a big, greedy unfair place. The fact that FT offers refunds at all is actually a sign of respect.
I honestly can't think of anywhere that actually has a law that says you have to get refunds if unsatisfied.
I may be wrong, but oh well.
There are companies that offer it, sure, but that's an in-house policy sort of thing. They don't have to do it.
But, I really don't see where that is officially posted anywhere.
As for anyone who is angry about their house not having PvP protection - I'll tell you the same that was told to players who bought houses on an event map.
If you don't like it, you can try and contact compbatant and see if he's willing to move your house for you.
I suggest you be polite in your requests. Just common courtesy, as he really doesn't have to.
But, I don't think a single one of you should be entitled to a single refund, period.
Not only is that covered by Google Play itself, Game Rule #5 is expressly written for that.
If you don't qualify under rule 5, then all you can do is ask compbatant nicely.
If you're rude about it, you shouldn't even get a response.
I understand that there will be changes in the game whether I want them or agree with them or not. I do remember reading that PvP protection was included with a house purchase. I'll have to hunt that post down when I have time. I'm at work at the moment.
