Core is raiding villages using a bug

[Astarisk]

Before taking any actions jorbtar will spend time investigating what's going on. I'm curious if players who were hit by bug exploitation will be compensated in any way. It's devastating to lose everything to exploits which you literally had no mechanical way to prepare for.

I suppose 1 free month would be a good thing to give for everything they lost from the gate bug.

Lol.....No

the one thing can be here is just someone got betrayed or was a spy .

In two villages of two unrelated factions. At the same moment.

Nice thinking!

That'd probably be the worst way to compensate someone. The value that's lost when you're bug-raided isn't the time, it's the work that you've done. I'd go as far as to say that compensation like that would be worse than getting nothing back, as it feels like a slap in the face.

Even if they do, I don't think they'r able to punish anyone... because how?
Ban? Ban who? Combat alts used to raid? probably not even subscribed accounts? They keep the loot and are most likely profitable on it anyways.
Nuke their village? and in this case punishing innocent players too? It's like destroying whole Brodgar because one of their members abused bug.
Rollback? It would punish every unbound player.

And what about player's that got hit? is punishing anyone going to help them somehow?
I'm from Scoia and just knowing that someone somewhere got punished is not going to make me feel better.
Either way have to rebuild my base, it's like starting over. Still I'm in good situation compared to my friend who lost his character.

In hafen building take's hours or days, developing your character weeks or months, and loosing it minutes or seconds.
Loosing something due to a bug or something that you have no impact on and not because you made something wrong hurt's the most.
After losing something that way you ask yourself what's the point of even trying again if it can happen again and obviously no one is going to do anything about it.

I bet J&L won't do anything about it besides finding and removing the bug.

As for me, I'm probably going to take short break from playing and than start over.

How is it any different to the many, many people who have died to bugs? They too happen regardless of how the player handled the situation. Alpha game, bugs happen, ban the abusers first and foremost.

Kill all the abusers and open their gates for the victims to get some loot back imo . I wouldn't hold my breath for any punishment though honestly.

[Potjeh]

It's not about compensating the victims, it's about deterring people from abusing bugs. So nuke away. Else we're just going back to the old bugabuse race that we all know and hate.

This is all assuming OP's assumption that it's even a bug.
