Yeah, the Internet is a bad place.
Has anyone made a boomerang gif of the first frames of Rose's super animation to really show that Bamco is "fucking" the players?
Anyway, the main issue here is definitely the double standards. Japan clearly has a much tighter leash on these things, that's why they're so quick with stone refunds for banner art mistakes, and the 300 stones hush money when people found out about the shoddy rate business.
They must be able to exploit some loophole in Global (and of course it's harder to crack down on them because there are so many countries involved and each may have their own legislation).
The funny / sad thing is that if they actually just gave out the fabled 300 stones, people would shut up and it wouldn't make much of a difference to Bamco anyway. We just had another mega top grossing Banner (and we'll have many more because people don't change), and 300 stones don't even get anything special for most people - hell, 300 stones will melt instantly in the LR fusion banners with nothing to show for it.
