Items are different than progress.
If you lost a bow. That can be replaced. If you lost your save. You have to start over. Two completely different things.
Well you can recraft them or use the ah like everyone else.
I understand being upset over the lost mats, but it’s recoverable.
Items are data, but also pixels. You didn’t lose your character so you didn’t lose progress (unless you decided to unequip all of your armor and store it, then it got wiped)
Why were you storing mounts and such like this? Mine would live on the ah if I already learned them.
If the data was lost, how would they know YOU lost your stuff? They said they restored the stuff from the data they recovered.
Your data clearly wasn’t recovered if you didn’t get back a single item. So again, how would they know you lost your stuff?
That’s why they did a blanket post addressing this.
