Bank Update in 11.2

The “technical update to support cross realm guilds” post? That did not at all explain how the data was unable to be retrieved after the fact. They simply called it a “bug” and that was it. They also made the bold claim that it was primarily profession related items; while I totally did lose every single profession item, I also lost every single transmog item, toy, and battle pet I had in there as well.

About a week after we launched patch 11.0.2 in August, we began receiving reports of an issue where some players were discovering items missing from their guild banks.

As we investigated over the next couple of days, we found the culprit—a technical update that was made to support cross-realm guilds. An unexpected bug caused one of our maintenance processes to make some items disappear. Many of these items were related to professions materials from prior expansions, but it was possible for players to lose other items from their guild banks as well.

For the last few weeks, we’ve been packing up the missing items that we’re able to identify as lost by this process, and we will soon mail those to the guild leader character for each affected guild.

Due to how some of the data was lost, we’ve reached a point where the result will be an incomplete restoration for some guilds, and we do not have a way to restore the remaining missing items for them.

Yup they didn’t explain anything at all.

Screw progress that has a high chance of going wrong without taking the proper precautions

How do you know it has a high chance of going wrong?
Brother you are just being disengenuous and fearmongering.

You can express concern about it potentially going wrong, but you are literally just making crap up and reaching.
