Collectable Stat Card False Advertising!

Share:

In a earlier post, I pointed out that the in game instructions for Collectable Start had changed (1). James Millsap of the {ASS} Family took a better look at the new instructions than I did and noticed something interesting.

Look in the lower left corner of the card used in the example. This particular card offers +100 stamina and +100 energy! A lot more players would purchase these cards if it was only true.

If you look at the real Death By Numbers Card which is in Series 1 of the Crime Ring Set, it only offers +2 attack and +1 stamina. The quality is also wrong. Hopefully players who actually read the instructions won’t be too disappointed when they learn the real deal!

  1. That really is false advertising. Someone who bought that card should demand the full amount advertised.

  2. If you are a developer and reading this. Please credit me back my 1600 RP, refund my RP purchase, and remove the cards. Either that or give me 22,500 Skill points as that is what I missed out on. 1600 RP / 42 (packs of 3 cards) = 38 packs *3 cards = 114 cards of +100 & +100 skills = 22,800 skill points, not including the bonuses. This might be worth my time to file with FTC and Attorney General over fraud (bait and switch). I have clear admission of guilt from CS. Thanks for screwing me....again. -James Millsap

  4. the way i see it is you get 100 stamina and 100 energy from these cards all up yes they are showing just one card in the picture but it is all up for set 1 x 6 cards = to 100 energy and 100 stamina
    just a thought maybe i am wrong and they foobard this again

  5. Hey James Milsap== did you buy 42 packs of cards BEFORE you realized what the stats were? so, based on one picture, you spent 1600 RP without looking at one thing you purchased?

    When people ask why Zynga is a money-grubbing company who just likes to milk money from players, it's people like you that keep them in business. LOLing at you.

  6. Bought the first set..... saw nothing specular happen in drops or in getting extra loot..(just try to get one of those special loots to drop). The whole set up with the cards.... you can''t even trade...so all those extras are a waste. I refuse to even look at the new set.Zynga fool me once... that's enough

  8. CHAT SESSION WITH A MAFIA WAR REP over the Collectable Cards
    Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    You are now chatting with 'Marco P.'
    Kevin: hello Marco
    Marco P.: Hi Kevin! How can I help you today?
    Kevin: I have many questions and problems concerning mafia wars
    Marco P.: I will do my best to help you out.
    Marco P.: What kind of concerns and questions do you have?
    Kevin: first there is the piranhas and sea dawgs i had received the open to receive them in game with 5 matching cards
    Kevin: i have been trying for over a month and got nothing
    Kevin: the lil icons are in Chicago and Brazil but no drops from ANY of the jobs

  9. Kevin: I want to know there has been many ppl with this problem tht i read up on but with the new sets out for sale i thought maybe they were finally fixed
    Kevin: i still don't get any thing and was wondering why?
    Kevin: when were done concern i will go to the next
    Marco P.: I understand that you have completed the series 4 of the Collectable Stats cards and therefore you have won those skill points and the Gordon Grey card reward and you also have the chance to loot Porcupine Piranha (112/71) in Sam's Truck Shop in Chicago and you have also completed the series two that gives you the chance to loot Sea Dawg (111/73) in Recife, Brazil.
    Kevin: yes
    Marco P.: I want to inform you that the drop rate of those items is randomly. However, I would like to see what I can do for you. May I have your mafia wars profile link?
    Kevin: ----------------------------------> hidden for security reasons.
    Marco P.: It is a green link that appears in your profile.
    Marco P.: Thank you.
    Kevin: are you still there?
    Kevin: i see it says typing but geez is it a novel? lol
    Kevin: in wanna make sure we didn't lose each other in cyber space
    Marco P.: Lol. Sorry for the delay. I was typing but I was searching your cards. I stop typing since I am still looking for your cards.
    Marco P.: Please, accept my apologies.
    Kevin: np
    Kevin: i have a lot of cards i was not gonna get more till this was fixed i need 1 card each of the last 3 tiers
    Kevin: or levels
    Kevin: maybe you can throw those in there for the 6 weeks of aggravation lol

  10. Marco P.: Yes, I verified that you have completed those series. Even though the drop rate of those items is random, I would like to add one of those two items in your account as a token of our appreciation. Would be that fine with you?
    Kevin: just 1 ?
    Kevin: its been 6 weeks there is obviously something wrong
    Kevin: complete the sets for me would b better
    Kevin: that's 3 cards from all completed
    Kevin: then at least i got the main reward
    Marco P.: I am so sorry but what I can do for you is add 1 Sea Dawg (111/73) and 1 Porcupine Piranha (112/71).
    Kevin: that's nothing...you know how much i spent on all those cards to get what? 1 dawg and 1 piranha?
    Kevin: Complete the sets
    Kevin: that way i get the main reward
    Kevin: its ridicules its obvious tht none are gonna drop what good is 2 when i am allowed from each set a max of 280 or something
    Marco P.: We cannot do that. You need to complete those sets by your own. The loot drop rate of those items is random. As it is stated you have the chance to loot those items.
    Kevin: are you able to complete the sets?
    Kevin: there's no loot dropping
    Kevin: a chance in what like winning the lotto?
    Kevin: there has to be a problem with the settings in game on drops
    Kevin: i had them disappear for three days the icons were gone anfd the new cards came out then yesterday they re appeared
    Kevin: or approximately I get lost in time some times
    Kevin: so i spent a few hundred dollars for nothing?
    Marco P.: No, I am not able to complete those sets. I just can add those two items. Would be that fine with you?
    Kevin: what would the attorney general think about that kind of report that im was offered 2 items for my time and money? i would rather get my money back
    Kevin: i can't believe there isn't something we can do to solve this
    Marco P.: The card are clear, you have the chance to loot those items.
    Kevin: there is a problem, at least lets get a report started, theirs a lot of ppl out there like me and are really mad
    Kevin: now there's new cards, I have not seen i website yet confirming that this works at all
    Kevin: its like the boss fights I have been number 1 killer in every fight and NEVER got a 201 /201 rare drop like from ice queen
    Kevin: I wont spend more money on theses cards till i see something drop from the completed sets I already have, Don't you agree that would be stupid?
    Chat session has ended. the operator disconnected me quick like GRRRRRRRR he should have given me the 3 cards to complete it all and I would have shut my big mouth up! I would have had the final 201 attk and 201 def collectable
