As far as i know, that feature of the game is a bug, went live together with other v5.0 updates .. Other people with deep pockets or have great resources spent ahead to get that elemental power boost .. tho there's one thing we might need to know before making some conclusions .. Is that 10% elemental boost really boosts his power? .. Because it maybe shows that he have 10% elemental power boost but in reality, or technically, it doesnt do anything .. (Just like the issue with Nin/Tai Pens) ..

But yeah, we need explanation from the team for this one ..

Oh man, i don't know about the extra stats you get from upgrading that feature .. Well, if you got additional stats then it must be working at some point .. And from this moment, this should be checked and looked, fixed to be precise since it will be unfair for those players who fails to get this chance of getting elemental boost when it went live ..

Bad xD .. wahahaha

You gonna make other people curious about that "different approach" .. wahahaha xD .. but i agree, keep it secret or better (share it to me ) xD ..

It's not "Taking Advantage" when people didn't know that the said feature is a Bug that went live along with other features of version 5.0 .. Some people just got so excited and jump right into it , spending their resources and get power .. Since it is noted and included in the version 5.0 website .. So, your option B is too much, not all the players who purchased or spend on that feature is p2ws, some of them are f2ps who saved and collected coupons to get power ..

Better options for this issue is your option A .. if not, then make a statement and proof that they deactivated the feature even tho it shows in the character's info ..

Remember, they only posted a thread stating that the said feature is a bug after minutes of it being live in in the game .. anything can happen within 1 min and that 1 min is not taking advantage specially if the person didn't know it was a bug ..

Ignorance is not relevant to the situation as the Feature popped-up together with the Updated .. The mods took action of posting a thread minutes ago after the Servers got back online .. Your option B can only be applied to those people who spent in that feature after the Mods posted a notice about the said feature .. I was here and in discord during that time, that's why i know the gap of time of the Server-up and the time of acknowledgement that the said feature is a bug ..

You can try that .. I will try to ask some moderators too ..

Exactly, thanks for saying it clearly cuz my English can't explain like that xD ..

From my very own experience, there are so many people who doesn't check Forums nor Discord, and most of the time, they don't know both as they only pays attention the game itself .. Asking information only from their Groupmates or Servermates .. Saying that Ignorance is relevant is purely BS .. Maybe in real life his argument will be valid but in this case, in this game .. its a no no ..

Thanks for responding Jib :"))
