this bug was not the player's fault. the reward was sent to my mail box automatically the moment i made it to 3rd on the points ladder. i did not actively participate in exploiting this bug. this was a mistake on the dev's end.

so uh, does anyone know how long the roll back is gonna take?

The rollback takes a while especially for so many different servers...we just have to wait patiently until they sort it all out.
