I remember also when the Governor of Tremalking was loading 2 long blades, I reported this to Elysia and she fixed it right then and there.

I was with Erulisse during the smobbing contest on Saturday for many hours. I was there when the smob loaded double. It did not occur to me at the time to report it to Elysia, the possibility of it being cheating never once crossed my mind.

When it comes to normal game mechanics that you see over and over it stands out when something seems wrong. With new features, new content where you don’t have that exact reference is isn’t quite the same.

Sure, in hindsight, the three of us could have come to the same conclusion that everyone here who is “armchair quarterbacking the replay of the game” is coming up with... but we didn’t. At full game speed it wasn’t as clear.

And lastly, I would like to give just one more example:

Per Elysia, sometimes a double load is intended.

I can't fathom how any of you can sit there and play the "its intended on other smobs, so this must have been intended" card.

Anyone using even a modicum of intelligence could see it was an oversight or bug. Could have told Immortals at any time for clarification considering the number of trophies, there would have been time with staff/player alignment.

The correct course of action was taken, you could have said something. Instead you didn't, and got what was coming essentially.

Perhaps a lesson learned? If it's too good to be true it probably is.

I think it's easiest to believe that everyone was innocent and it was all a misunderstanding - moving forward we know to be careful with double loads and report them.

If amazon makes a mistake like they did on prime day when they offered $15k worth of gear for like $1k on accident, they don't blame the customer when he buys it and enjoys the product. They blame themselves, amazon.
