I’d like them to bring all those items back and let us buy them from the store like we could back when they were active 😀

Enough of this madness, you were banned for cheating, your appeal may or may not be considered, you have no right to anything at this point.
 
Find another game and perhaps one day you’ll get a favorable response, probably not. 
 
 

At the time he was removed as a joke IIRC and re-added right after. Later he got banned for real for doxxing.

I've made plenty of cringe-worthy comments.  Oh well.  Live and learn.
In the spirit of being transparent, here's one:
 

I don't really agree because I don't see the point, but I also haven't been playing the game longer than a year yet.  And I never got to play with Legacy.
But I'd also point out they are just sprites and aren't sentient beings that feel sad because they're not being used.
I think maybe some could make a comeback, however, if their sprite was updated and they were re-released as a "new" item.

LOL
Yeah I'd love to get this deal but my chief financial officer (my wife) says no 🙂

I promise I'm trying to be respectful.  But understand that on the other side of the keyboard is someone who just doesn't think everyone who got banned or kicked was totally innocent, that's all.  I'm not here to piss on anyone's memory necessarily (though I did cite an example), but I'm also not going to think everyone who hacked is some poor innocent soul whose loss should be commemorated.  It just depends.

I would've done what TS/GG told me to do, and if I don't like their rules, I'd quit.  Don't presume to know what I would do.
But as for hackers?  If that's what the rules called for, yes, lifetime ban.  I don't have sympathy for people who went out of their way to hack something.  If you know the rules but decide to hack anyways, oh well.
I wasn't arguing for people to be banned just for speaking the truth.
However, I've also met people who claim to be "speaking the truth" who are actually not speaking any truth.  Wind Weaver was one of those.  Her "truth" was just the raw sewage of her own biased opinion.  And she also backstabbed people on the forum and on discord.  Yeah, such a great role model. </sarcasm>
I don't know about you, but I don't trust or befriend people who backstab others when they're not around, because I know they usually have no problem doing the same to me.  Good riddance.
You can call this toxicity all day long, but if you're going to defend people whose actions are indefensible, then don't be surprised if someone's brave enough to speak up.
I'm NOT saying I agree with every ban.  I wasn't there for all of them, and I didn't see all the facts.  But what I know about Marija now is that she is a good person, so I'll defend my friend.  Maybe she made some mistakes: who doesn't?  We're all human.  But I've made my choice.
Case in point, someone she recently banned from forum AND discord did it to themselves.  I saw that one and I completely agreed with it.  That's what happens when you try to dox someone. 
Understand that I've accidentally broken rules here also.  It happens.  I'm definitely not perfect.  But unlike some people who think the world owes them everything, I apologized for what I did, and they were merciful to me.  And that's probably why they got banned and I didn't: it's not because I'm some saint.  I'm not better than anyone else.  It probably has to do with how they treated the staff.  Oh well.
And unlike some people, instead of going into conspiracy theories about drop rates and other nonsense, I simply go test things out.  Why speculate when you can do research?
So I'm not here to claim that everyone was fairly banned.  Except hackers.  But what I'm saying is you might want to think about whether everyone who got banned deserved it or not, because I doubt everyone is as innocent as people seem to indicate.

I guess Marija doesn't give lifetime bans also because she takes into account what the player has done for the community. Because the forum is only and exclusively for the community. Therefore, when Grosboss or Nefy get a ban, other higher principles are taken into account. I mean that in a good way.

Yep, the deal is worth it, i just don't have the tokens 😕 

BLUF: Me and my clan are done researching fortune box rates.  It seems fortune boxes have a 66% chance of getting a rare item (per item in the box) and on average you get two items.  Chance of common: 8%, Legendary 3%, epic 23%.
LONG STORY: My clan and I ran fortune boxes and took screenshots to see if we could deduce the rates of fortune boxes.  Keep in mind, the majority of these came from farming 1v1 Campaign Big Boy for fortune boxes.

DISCUSSION:
     We ran a total of 42 boxes.  I only accepted screenshots as part of the data collection.  In statistics, 40 is the bare minimum data points you need in order to draw conclusions, so I went with what we had (42) when we went over 40.  If someone wants to run another test like this, be my guest: we can combine the data.  (But don't just screenshot fortune boxes and reply here: run your own study please.)
     There are a few minor limitations to this study:
It is possible that campaign versus shop fortune boxes have different rates, but we don't have any evidence of this yet.  We'd need 40 data points of shop fortune boxes and 40 data points of campaign fortune boxes to be able to run another test on their rates to see if they're significantly different. It is possible the game has hidden mechanisms that change the rates based on the difficulty of the campaign level and/or your campaign level.  I have no evidence that this is true, but I don't have enough data points to know if it's false either. Forty data points is a start, but if we have 100 we can post possibly more trustworthy stats. We did not take into account whether the items you get from the fortune box are worth having or not, and we only saw one premium item (a monkey torso) this time.  Whether an item is useful or not is subjective to the person, so we didn't try to test that out.      Please, if you have any questions, contact me.  I did not attach all the screenshots of fortune boxes here, but they are available upon request.
By the way, I plan on continuing this to get to 100 fortune boxes.  Me and my clan will do it.  Please don't reply to this thread to post screenshots.

With this sale starting later than the norm, I was beginning to wonder if Alexander is still interested in making money.
Well, finally, we’ve a guarantee sale. I see people predicted the Energy Fortress correctly for this sale. Later, I’ll add it to my collection of premium resist mods.


Most of the premiums I’ve is due to sales. Now days, everyone and their dogs can have good premiums if they’ve the money for it. Who would have thought Tacticsoft would sale their moms.
I remember in 2018, it was hell to get any good premiums. So, a lot of people would have unique builds built around any worthy premium items they have.
Now days, I’m seeing a lot of people are able to copy entire builds because they’ve enough premium items to make a complete build. So, it’s not uncommon to see a lot of the same builds in the arena. 🙄
We’ve come a long ways from the assorted, random builds back in the day to the highly specialized builds now days.
 
Now we go vroom! 🚔
