@ARO: I can't agree with your logic. Just because someone didn't invite enough friends (or any friends at all) to get Rodimus is a moot point. You didn't do it, so you lost out on the opportunity.

The issue with 2 Sky Lynx is that it was supposed to be a one time gift. The idea was that you could only get 1. If a user already had reached 15 friends and received the reward, their counter shouldn't have been reset.

If Mobage couldn't figure out a way to do this properly, they have major issues with the game design and the staff who built everything. My guess is that it was "too hard" for Mobage to figure out how to do it, which in itself is a telling sign that their design/coding/database staff is rather incompetent.

The easy way was for them to reset everybody and give players a chance to double up on rewards which was never intended. Now that the cat's out of the bag, nobody can do anything about it. I have zero faith that the upgrade today is going to go smoothly.

Both the hacking and this Sky Lynx issue were screw ups on Mobage's part, both due to incompetence and lack of testing. The only difference is that this time Mobage encouraged, assisted, and gave full blessing on people getting an advantage in the game with 2 R5 cards.
