% Chance a GM will transfer a Raid Epic after it's been equipped?

personal loot should be in classic wow once i started to see them raid i started to see that greed again.

They put the option to trade to avoid tickets about this, so they won’t do anything.

They won’t. After Martin Fury, they can’t risk it.

You say that as if it’s a legit reason.

I know for a fact that they used to do it. Back in WoTLK a person in our raid group took a sword that he decided later that night was better suited for me. He put in a ticket and the next day the epic was in my mailbox.

Now that they’ve added a 2-hour trade window I agree that the chances are slim.

Yep, we had eye of sulf moved from one player to another during vanilla. There was a /roll (it was late in the xpac and we dropped DKP at that point) and the person who won it agreed shortly after that it should go to someone who had been around longer, blah blah. We ALL submit tickets (I regret that now lol, poor GMs) and they transferred it.

Probably nothing in 2019, back in 2004 they would.

Don’t forcefully take the loot away from the person who got it, let them keep it and next week you’ll get new loot for that intended other person. Not fair.

“hey you know that awesome loot we gave you the other day ? the same one you been having loads of fun with all day? well we been thinking … decided we kind of want it back”

lol :rofl: seriously, you made your choice, if it was the wrong one its on you guys. you shouldn’t expect the person to give it back and even if somehow managed to convince a gm the player wouldn’t have to comply with the gm.

Wouldnt be classic without loot dramas.

So who threw a fit? One of the officers wife, girlfriend or guild ladies? Seriously you waited after the two hour limit and expect it to be transferred to the girl that got the nerve up to send some skin to your discord direct message?

Just to clarify, cause we’re all thinking it, was the person who got the loot the one who decided someone else should get it? Or did the council, after the fact, decide someone else deserved it and is trying to steal the item from said player?

If (big if) the person who has the item put in a ticket within moments (seconds not hours or days) saying they got the item accidentally then maybe (very low chance if equipped) they might.
Nobody but the person with the item can put in a ticket to ask.

I’d guess 0% since the whole point of the 2H Loot Trading rule is to specifically eliminate the need for GM intervention.

Yep i have also had stuff like this happen with me and friends back in BC/Wrath

thank god PL is staying in retail

master loot a raid can progress so much faster instead of praying that the right players get the right gear.

so you can keep your selfish entitlement in retail

ill keep my team oritented stuff here

Loot councils are a socialist cancer to this game. Shame on you for using it and let him keep his epics.

I’m not impressed with the quality of Blizzard’s GMS / customer service anymore, so i doubt they would do it. Maybe you will luck out and have a decent GM, but first you need to get a hold of one and Blizzard has made a lot of effort to make that difficult. I tried to do so earlier and i managed to, but their ticket page 19 times out of 20 directs you to WoWhead or one of their articles instead…They are cheaping out on actual support, and even their phone service is largely impossible to contact after they did cut backs.

They added loot trading specifically for these kinds of situations. The chance of Blizzard assisting with this issue is 0%.

Customer support will be unable to:

  • Restore quest items lost through deletion or quest abandonment. You’ll need to reacquire the quest and obtain the item again.

  • Swap quest rewards

  • Unbind items bound to a character

  • Exchange bind on pick up loot between characters.

True that it says that, but GMs can make exceptions. The idea of a “loot council” after the fact wanting gear reassigned is pretty lame though and sounds shady.
