PSA Warning about the Battle Pass Screen Do not Click Yes


Recommended Posts

Posted

Folks,

There seems to be a new devious ploy in the interface. When I clicked on the BP to open the interface, the first screen displayed rewards with a 'yes' button. Don't click on the 'yes' unless you are planning to pay dubs for the premium BP.

Did you already have the Prem Pass?  If not maybe it is because you didn't? cap_hmm.gif.b39a7d139a4843dee1fbf1aa7d487f14.gif

Absolutely I didn't. I don't have a screenshot, but I nearly clicked on yes until I realized I was going to be deducted 2500 dubs for the premim BP if I did.

I fell into this trick a in June and it took 8 days to revert. 

In my case I didn't notice my phone was hitting the enter key and auto agree everything it pops up, thus it deducted 6250 dub.

I think I've had this happen before, but I know for sure I didn't have Prem Pass.  I didn't have the dubs, so it was like: "Get more dubs to get prem pass".  Thing is, if I were to splash the 6250, would it retroactively award me the bonuses that would come with it (the +5% or whatever)?  Or would it just give me "base"?  I would think it would retroactively award me, but this IS WeeGee we are talkin about...

The pop-up will generate on the last Friday of an update cycle, since at least early 2023. I am on the free pass as well, so I have noticed it every patch. 

It is an intentional design feature - faulty UI to bait careless players into spending doubloons. Borderline predatory.

And now we know why no one should EVER link any account to any game.....
