Why limit on the event :(
Why is there a limit all of a sudden?
There never was a limit in any of the other zm events that were similar to this.
There are some people i know who have stayed up late just to get more points and have been playing shattered hard over and over.
I know someone who has more then 2000 points.
Can you increase the limit to like 7500 points (300 crates)?
Not everyone hacked or cheated their points, i for one just played for a few hours and already have 1250+.
If i could've continued like this then i would've had about 5000 points (200 crates) or more on the last day

So sad they have to add limits due to abuse... anyway I'm only aiming to max 50 crates... (which are happily welcome)
I will vote +1 to increase the limit just for those honest players that are earning their points fairly.
Also, do you think this event can be useful to the admins for review the time play over the accounts that register huge amounts of points and maybe ban the ones who abuse the event? -

Last Year Castiel Shattered Event
Top players got over 300+ crates and all ZM weapons I think I managed to grab 40 crates so 150 is a Target this year, however I had a few DC .

As for the Cap issue, it's not an issue having EP or Crate Caps but to be added at a later date is an issue. We all love rules and Predefined Requirements. Personally I would like to know what the Abuse is, if it's those rare A.F.K Scripts or Just [Free Time Players.] following the rules.
edit **150 is definitely hard, I'm about to give up already** -

But don't you want more people to win AZ guns? The more people have strong guns the easier zm will be when randoms join.
Cuz zm is a mode that requires teamwork so it doesn't matter that much when the AZ guns become common weapons.are you actually crying about 150 FREE crates?
dude lmaoo
I wouldn't have complained if there was a limit on day 1.
But since there wasn't, i set my sights a bit higher.
Also, there were 2 similar events like this in the past and both had no limits.
So there is reason to complain.[GM]Kanadian wrote: »The answer is on the announcement thread itself. People are abusing this event in a multitude of ways to get amounts that should not be reachable even for die-hard ZM players. Sorry guys, this is a case of 'one bad apple ruins the bunch'.
I can understand that there are some that are cheating in this an that you want to prevent them from unfairly getting alot of crates, but imo the amount is to low.
And i'm saying this because of the win rates of the black market.
Some crates seem to have a higher win chance and i don't know what this one is like, so that's why i ask if it could get increased to 300. -

Wait, explain. -
I don't see why you can't just review the reports and ban the abusers and not give them any crates, even if it'll mean the crate delivery might be at later day. Even though for most "commoners" the limit is high, it's not unreachable for those die-hard ZMers, and they're going to suffer because of this.

That's right. And the last update for the event more fair.- IGN Ezio

It's actually super easy to get alot of points.
1 Hard shattered clear = 28.5 points (1 crate)
We finished them in about 20 minutes each.
All of us have aa12, AC armor, item armor and some of us have rings too. We know where to place our turrets and know where the zombies spawn and what to use at what time.
Some of us woke up early to play it.
Even someone as moderate as me has 1395 points after 3 days.
All i ask for is an increase in the limit. Just because the limit is 150 doesn't mean everyone will reach it.
If it's 300 crates then even less so.
The only problem would be that the abusers can get 300 as well but they should be easy to catch by checking their kills/point ratio. -
I haven't been playing lately due to time constraints, but I thought I should give this event a try yesterday. And I made nearly 100 points with just 30 minutes of gameplay. If you could avoid waste of time for each game to start, anyone can easily make 100 points by playing 30 minutes. So people who can spare 10 hours or more per day would be getting more or less 2000 points each day, totaling up to 20-22k by the end. With those points they'd be getting 800-900 crates without even abusing the event.
I mean, if legit players can earn 800 crates just by playing 10 hours a day, I can't even imagine the huge amount that the abusers and no-lifers would get by the end. No wonder this event had to be capped. You should all be thankful that they didn't change the requirement from 25 points for one crate to 100 points for one crate. -

This is why we can't have nice things. While some go all out and no life an event others just have to find the easy way out and ruin it for everyone else.
People not abusing events is like working all week to not get a paycheck its just not gonna happen -
Ehm how is it even possible to abuse this event? Dont you need to win the match or what?
You get points for each round but completing the game gets more points. I'm a little slow with this and not getting it. Sounds like there is more than just people idle and botting unless people are botting 24/7. Randoms join that might be noob and can't complete the match so the game ends and they only get some points for the rounds played.master_mann wrote: »150 crates is a HUGE amount, I don't see the problem...

I think 150 is still generous. I must of been away when the other events happened. I guess no abuse happened during those events? -

There are people who are using hacks on a different pc to boost their main, with hacks on alts they can kill zombies faster and finish games very fast. Also no one can report them because they play in locked rooms with their clanmates or friends.There are others who're paying some zp to hackers to get them a certain amount of points per day while day just leave their acc on afk. They'd pay like 10k zp for helping them get 3000 points per day.
So obviously when GMs checked how players were doing with the event, they were taken aback to see people having 5000 points in one day. So they capped the event, which is a legit move considering it's their game and their event, so they can do anything to prevent themselves from being taken advantage of.
