The only way to receive the "free katana" is if a player purchases it first with 35 event coins. After the purchase, the event coins stay in the player's inventory. Because the player wanted the katana first, he or she should be able to keep it and lose 35 event coins or the item bought after the katana. What? You say we should've kept the ecs and report it to an admin? Well, not all players are playing to improve the game, nor are we obligated to. For an average player, the 35 event coins are a pleasant surprise. Why would we want to turn down free stuff or prevent other players from enjoying it too? The Graal Era Staff Team is a group of smart people; they should be able to fix this without angering the many players who wanted the katana first.
