I couldnt have said it better myself…
Sadly some on here are like that. Least there’s a current blue post. Still not happy no gold but its indeed something.
The more I read Irkos posts the more I feel he’s just a troll getting off on being rude.
“Oh you’re unable to get your gold income going, and you cant faction or server change? For the past week? lmao you arn’t able to get it instantly and crying look at this guy”
I’m not saying you shouldn’t be upset…and if anything so much of the player base is being rude to blizzard…
People are saying blizzard doesn’t care with 0 communication which is blatantly not true
Moaning is not going to do anything, Blizzard are keeping us updated atleast, they are doing their best to try to fix the problem, what else do you want?
People feel insecure because they have a currency tied up in this issue and for 4 days all they’ve had to go on was Blizzard saying ‘it won’t be lost’. it’s not a type of issue, as far as I can remember, that has occurred before. It’s more a sense of unease than anything else as some people have great quantities of gold essentially gambled on that statement being true or not.
Rage isn’t productive definitely, but skepticism is understandable for people with a large investment in this.
Drizella is exactly correct.
For some the auction house is the real game. That isn’t the case for me, but I’ve been making an effort to make gold more recently. Since the 18th/19th I know I’ve lost 55k gold in potions, flasks and enchants mainly, and that’s just from when I started tracking as best as I could. That isn’t a lot to many sellers I’m sure but it’s a lot to me, and I farmed all the materials, I don’t “flip” on the AH. A lot of time went into it. And with no recent response here besides a post on the EU forums (assuming they are having the exact same problem?) saying many of the issues with the mail have been solved and to wait a few hours for them to come through, as if we are being very impatient after 5 days of not getting our gold, is very frustrating.
You haven’t lost anything though. Blizzard has confirmed nothing is lost.
yes, but at this point, with no proof of that, it is starting to get a little concerning.
Yes, they confirmed this 5 days ago, and with a lot of silence in between. I don’t have an addon that tracks my auctions, so I’m screenshotting what has sold as best as I can because we are meant to trust that all the mail will show up otherwise and I’m just not happy with that as a solution. Some might show up, some might not, how do we know if we don’t track. So it’s another layer of work to deal with when auctioning.
Blizzard s word isn’t proof to you?
Blizzard has proven previously that it is not always capable of keeping its word on certain things, so no, it’s not.
I mean you yourself were healthily skeptical to begin with…
Example?
Not sure I’ve ever seen an example similar to this I’m not considering a missed deadline a lie
But I believe them. I’m not saying they lost my data and I’m continuing to use the AH
They reneged on implementing flying in WoD. Yes they finally caved to public pressure but that was one example of them not keeping their word.
The most obvious examples I can think of are the cut content from WoD, where they made announcements at BlizzCon and included statements on the game boxes themselves regarding features that did not appear in the game, or that did appear in later patches but were severely gutted.
I would feel much better about the situation if they elaborated more on why they are so confident that no data is being lost. Otherwise, it seems like an empty platitude to placate the disgruntled masses and keep us off their backs while they fix what they are capable of, but not necessarily what the consumer base wants fixed.
Your first post in here was saying that you truly hope they mean what they said.
Now you’re calling out people for similar statements after more time has passed and criticizing for not taking Blizzards word as iron-clad proof.
Didnt they put something about flying combat in wintergrasp on the actual box for wotlk?
