Conquest Weapon Purchased with Conquest by Mistake - Hear me out

PVP Arenas
1

As like a few others on here, I fell into the trap of purchasing my 2h conquest weapon with conquest points.

Im a long time pvper, but juet reactivated and I just started arenas last week and picked up the weapon quest. While queuing arenas, I finished off the conquest reward yesterday and achievement popped (I didn’t even realize the quest was gone).

I was queuing at the vendors, like how I always do, so that I can upgrade my gear in between games. So naturally, I purchased my weapon with conquest since the requirements were fulfilled, like we have been for what, the past decade? I later on check my mail , and then it hit me… oh so I am supposed to use these tokens? Even though the game showed me it required conquest the whole time?

I opened a ticket, but I am expecting too bad so sad.

TL;DR: this weapon token system is new and very unnatural to check your mail before purchasing conquest weapons. If you make this mistake it costs you big, maybe make the weapon token cost for the weapons apparent on the vendor from the start?

They said it’d be a token.

If you can’t refund the weapon it’s over.

What is “they said”? I don’t check forums, pretty much ever, I just play the game.

Saying we didn’t see blue posts isn’t going to affect the outcome of our situation here.

Also, if you are supposed to use the token, make the token the cost from the start, not code it only if you have it in your bags, thats just silly.

He really was. Maybe templates were the solution.

Yah , its not the end of the world, I’m not dramatic about it. But it seems odd to leave that trap there for people to fall into. When this is very new and not how we’ve purchased “pvp/conquest” weapons, ever. I guess they are token weapons now ha.

Whats the difference between buying the weapon with conquest or tokens. You still have to go to the vendor and make sure its the right weapon lol

11

What was he right about? I am not familiar with what he stated.

12

That people couldn’t be trusted to use pvp currencies and vendors.

Because essentially thats alot of conquest to not have for armor and trinkets :slight_smile:

14

Oh i misread you bought the weapon with conquest. Yeh thats frustrating if you didnt know about the token. Arent they locked until you get the token tho? Idk why they send it to the mailbox thats bad game design

Hmm guess so, but if the token was the cost primarily, and reverted to conquest after tokens used. Then would have no issues, right?

16

I thought they were disabled until you got and spent the tokens and then they were available for conquest. Maybe they’re just up as conq, though?

17

They show conquest cost at all times, until you have the token in your bags.

18

Yeh thats terrible devs for you lol

Are you also long time illiterate and incapable of reading?
