Did any player have an inkling something was wrong? Yes,it did look odd.

Did players know 100% for sure that this was a bug? no. Mobage did not blog about it until it was fixed, so how were we to know for sure? Amidst that uncertainty, we played. You ccan't possibly expect an incorrigible bunch of TFL addicts like us to sit still and not play. we need our daily dose of crack!

I had only 1 free day and expected myself to be busy for the rest of the event. Am I supposed to do nothing on the only day I can play heavily to builda lead? What if Mobage didn't fix it? My inactivity on day 1 would then cost me the T1 as people zoom ahead while I was busy and unable to play. Care to compensate me with a T1 Galvatron if you were wrong and Mobage didn't fix it because it was not a bug?

you must be a prophet if you can know things for 100% sure. For most other mortals, only hindsight is 20-20. So your schedule makes it OK to take advantage of an exploit? Not buying it.

You say it looks odd, yes, that is the key right there, everyone KNEW something was off, and rather than point it out to be fixed, they all jumped on it and tried to take advantage. Sure they may not have known *for sure*, but no one can know anything for sure about this game so if we can only act on things we know for sure, then we can do nothing really, that is not a useful position to have. In fact, if you want to make that argument, you can't say anything about decks with 3 or 4 of a copy of a T1 prize. You don't know *for sure* that they are cheating. Just because you can't think of a legal way for that to happen, doesn't mean anything. But it is interesting that you point that out the multiple T1 prizes to Mobage then, when you are not the one gaining an advantage.

Coincidence? I think not. Classic rationalization.
