Oh yea I probably would have been considered as abusing it as I withdrew a lot more than I thought I did.
What kind of strikes me as odd though, is the faucet is under a tab called "Rewards" with a little gift icon. Their reason for having the faucet is to "test gameplay". Isn't this what playmoney is for? Why have a faucet you can level up at all at that point, and why put it under a rewards tab?
They did re-instate the use of my faucet after talking to support so I'll give them a hats off, but still find the whole idea strange. Thanks though, good customer service.
