So...I don't get any credit...

It looks like Disney took my idea...almost EXACTLY...well, actually...yes, EXACTLY. Reassignment of points for a fee.

And I don't get any credit for it...and I'm no longer a member because of the bad connection.

Ok first off offence but i had this EXACT same idea also and so did a lot of other people. No offence but it isnt that hard to come up with reassign points for a fee. HUNDREDS of people had this exact sam idea. There is no way you can claim this idea for yourself.

If you posted this on a PUBLIC FORUM then its PUBLIC meaning anyone who wants to can use the idea unless copyrighted by the law which i doubt it was.

I agree with Chris and Mr.LoveLocket. Hundreds of people could have submitted the same idea.

This was a very common idea/suggestion, it was discussed in detail on these forum several times, and this was not likely the only place.

Be glad your idea was common enough of a request that they addressed it.

I assure you, it was not put in solely on your own request/suggestion.

In accordance to POTCO Terms of Agreement (doesn't anyone read these things or what?) it says any ideas, suggestions or comments submitted to them become the property of Disney, and that no credit or compensation need / will be awarded...

And besides, I think we ALL suggested this - over a period of many months

You are correct Disney does mention that all suggestions sent in will become their property and no credit will be given.

Honestly i dont see a reason to get credit i mean are they gonna put ~Thanks to Jack Sparrow for submitting this idea? Technically its only idea when disney did most of the work. Coding graphics ect ect.

LOL, hasn't WOW and many other games out there been doing this same exact thing? Yes, they have, so nothing new to the world of games online. Also, if anything, Disney took the idea from them, and most likely not from us!
