@KalindaKing said " An A/B test is not effective if any of the groups change. For example, if we switched which people are selected or offered compensation, then that would affect the results." ...how can you change the people offered compensation when there is no compensation?
I know that some of you who were not randomly selected for the Weekday Show Your Style events are frustrated about missing out on rewards. A/B tests are common in gaming to ensure that a new feature is a good idea to release for everyone. We collect data and then decide if we want to implement the feature long-term for all players.
An A/B test is not effective if any of the groups change. For example, if we switched which people are selected or offered compensation, then that would affect the results. We understand that some of you are very excited to play this new event and we understand your frustration. However, in order to maintain the integrity of this A/B test, no compensation will be offered to those players who were not randomly selected. Each time we run a test, the game randomly selects a new group, so you could be picked next time!
Like I said this company is disgusting, and will be getting nothing monetarily from me anymore. What a sham of a company. I would hate to represent a company with zero integrity.
I really would like if we all join each other and boycott this game somehow, but it's too difficult to do it because almost everyone only cares if something is unfair if it affects them directly 🤷
I find it interesting that those of us who got the chance to test the sys are going to get a total of 12 diamonds, aka a $5 diamond pack, throughout the test period that other players won’t get. maybe glu thinks that not giving out compensation will encourage people to buy diamond packs, even though it’ll have the total opposite effect 🥴

they are 100% running this event to test profitability. if they compensate the “B” group (the nonpicked players) say with 50 stars and 10 diamonds, those players would be less likely to spend on stars or diamonds. no matter how little of a difference it would make, it would still make a difference numbers-wise. it makes sense to me but it’s still f***** up.
If that’s the case then joke’s on them because I’ve already decided that after this trash of an update I’m not buying anything at least until the next one. If they compensated us for weekday SYS then maybe I’d change my mind because I’d see an effort on their part but after this sad excuse that we got today? Nah, my money is safe.

I am a paying player and buy TT every week (for the diamonds, k-stars and to save up some tickets), I also frequently buy k-stars. However, after hearing that players that weren’t picked won’t be compensated in any way I’m not giving this company another dime. So as of now I’m a free player!
With all of this said, I really hope all the dolls who were picked manage to get as many k-stars and diamonds as they can these next weeks!💕
Agree if you’re also gonna stop spending money in game!
Yes I know Wikipedia isn't best resource, but not spending all day on this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A/B_testing *So basically they are testing how group A (testers) and group B (non-testers) react to same thing *This same thing obv isn't sys or both groups would have it * So guess is they're testing way to maximize profit or some other hidden agenda *I bet they're not giving compensation for the above reason soooooo....yeah greed
AND BOTTOM LINE: THEY'RE NOT TESTING SYS (if they were, groups A and B would both have it with slight variations in sys for each group)

What an joke, don’t talk about integrity of the ‘test’ if Glu won’t listen to the dolls Feedback on the last three weeks of this Throwback SYS then do it for another three weeks when nothing has changed. I don’t see how compensation will change the test when people who haven't got it aren't even testing it?! (Me included) as they will only be collecting data from those playing the throwback sys, to me just seems a long winded way to say Glu doesnt want to give the other half compensation in my opinion. I really do love this game and the fashion aspect of it and they can improve and expand the game to make it amazing and that includes actually listening to feed back. I don’t usually voice my opinions to this extent but since being on the forum i most certainly see the flaw’s in the game and in the company. I hope to see good and exciting changes soon.

@Kween_of_the_Kastle thank you for digging that up. I just can't stop laughing at the whole "How group A (testers) and group B (non-testers) react to same thing" Like, how am I going to react??? Be thankful I'm missing out on stuff?? LMAOOO I sure as hick ain't buying flip from the game to make it up LMAOOO

Exactly!! Well, whatever. Those SYS TB prizes are ugly af, what bothers me is the fact that the testers will have around 10-12 free diamonds, that's all.
I’m over it! Boxes are trash, scores are trash, voting booth is trash. Nothing had changed (maybe I had less K-Stars in my palette). DELETE dyes and energy from boxes!!!!!!!

They legit just dug grave deeper. If they had just said "no compensation" we would have assumed they're greedy (not wrong). But by trying to throw at us what test they're using it basically reveals that the whole "hey, we're testing SYS" is BS so now they're greedy AND manipulative. This totally explains why nothing in new round of sys has changed, they don't care they we enjoy sys, they're testing for money

Me reading this:
For real though, I am not spending any more of my real money on the game. I have limited it to small diamond packs or fashion goals in the last couple months but no more.
This is what happens when you make your players jaded. And it’s not just this, it’s everything Glu has done the last few months that have been the nail in the coffin. I’ll still play the game but as a free player. I will spend my money on things I actually enjoy in my real life. Not things that make me anxious, down, and angry. ✌🏻
wow I finally picked an item I actually like!! in the entire testing phase this is my second item from earnable boxes.... ridiculous but whatever. glad to see the palettes haven’t changed at all. what’s the point of asking for feedback and “testing” the event if glu isn’t going to actually use any feedback? it’s quite annoying how we have no transparency on what even changed between the last testing phase and this one.
*edit* I posted this before catching up and reading kalinda’s announcement. i apologize if my post seems insensitive I just hadn’t read what she said/how everyone felt yet! i’m so sorry to the non-picked people, but I have to say i’m not surprised in the slightest considering how sh*tty glu is.
ios doll since 2014, took a break & started again in October 2019 🤠💕 ✨add me on fb: https://www.facebook.com/ashley.medds ✨ ↪︎ send me a PM so I can add you back faster!
I am laughing my a** off right now. I am done playing this game. Last few days I had no motivation to even start the game and play. This statement made me so fu***** mad and sad at the same time. I'm never spending a cent on this game, if I even keep playing after this trashy behavior. Oh and of course still no mention about the free Kollection, lol why are we even hopefull anymore. F*** you GLU, you messed up.
i really don’t think playing virtual dress up is worth all of this stress. sometimes i wish i never re-downloaded this game and invested so much time and money into it. lol @ me. i seriously could’ve gotten myself a gucci bag with all of the money ive spent ON FAKE CLOTHES. literally what is my life.
