RoryR Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 So I had two poker refund requests open for months, and they've both been denied for no apparent reason. 1, 2 I spoke with the admin who denied them who told me that refunds for the infamous A-5 straight bug were not being considered (not sure why as it is most definitely a bug and requests for that exact same bug have been accepted in the past). I then explained how only a part of one of the requests was in regards to that bug, then I'm told "It doesn't matter. It's decided that poker refunds are denied." I asked why that was the case, ignored. Added Nervous to the conversation since I was told he was involved in the decision and same thing, ignored. So what gives? Why are some bugs being accepted for refund requests and others aren't? Completely unfair. Link to comment
Legate Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Weird that you didn't get a reason in the refund request. Link to comment
Biscuit Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 This is the reason why, unofficially at-least; "if you want your accepted, someone else needs to return the money cause they got it by a bug". Technically, this can be abused big-time and can spawn money into circulation on a big scale, so, with that in mind, admins have the right to refuse the refund. What should've been done is it should've been handled on-the-spot by the person who got the money and if there were any issues you could've reported them. If you are up to roleplay it: This can also be treated as an IC issue and can be disputed to the dealer ICly. Whilst the answer may not satisfy everyone, the question was technically answered and I know people are gonna have issues with my post, but I have no authority to change what is fact. Either way, this post is most likely gonna end up in the Archived Section pretty soon, if you disagree with the admin's decision; https://forum.gta.world/en/topic/32-staff-report-information/ Link to comment

What if the person who got the money refuses to give it back, I guess you do a refund req- oh wait. This is all beyond dumb. The staff team have been aware of the bugs around poker for well over a year and disregarded them time and time again. Now they're not even letting people be refunded from use of the bug riddled script. @Nervous this is dumb. Link to comment
Sixty Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) People are losing money due to a bug and other people are getting free money and nothing is being done besides telling you they need to return the money themselves? Yeah, that’s asinine. Makes no sense. Take the money from the person who the bug happened to and give it back to the person asking for the refund. No “spawning” money is necessary. This is a simple solution. Edited February 18, 2021 by Sixty 1 Link to comment
nostalgic Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) I agree, the fact that we haven't gotten a 100% functioning poker script on a server with this many players is weird. If players aren't refunded for bug in a script that, to everyone who isn't a developer, looks like an easy script, it seems like there's a hidden agenda to demotivate poker players and gambling over all.

Sixty Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) The fact that there is a game-breaking issue that costs people IC money for an OOC bug and the current stance is, “Oh well. We can’t do anything, but sorry you can’t get your money back”. That’s just plain wrong. Turn the script off until it’s fixed? Edited February 18, 2021 by Sixty Link to comment
Loki Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 What it looks like they're saying is that you need to attempt to get your money back from the person it went to, and if they're not cooperative you need to report it so admins can take it from the people that won it and give it back to you to avoid big amounts of money being injected into circulation. Just a refund request and potential bug report won't be enough, it seems. Link to comment
orangejuice Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 On a unrelated note anyone want to player poker 🤣 Link to comment
maramizo Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Should just fix the bug. As a developer, I'm not sure why it hasn't been fixed. It seems simple enough, maybe there's something I'm missing? I could fix it myself if an excerpt of the code was provided. Pseudocode example I wrote up rn (JS style): https://pastebin.com/bKMp3h3S Edited February 18, 2021 by maramizo Link to comment
