LOL well, there’s a reason I actually had Trade Chat turned OFF for most of the years betw. mid-WotLK (so actually, it’s been kind of bad for awhile . . ., though admittedly, it has gotten worse) and near the end of Dragonflight (when the Whale crafters weren’t around and I could actually fill a few work orders if people needed it, mostly for the Work-order weekly quests). A LOT of the Blizzard community is like that. Probably a lot of the gaming, the internet community is like that (you know, the F-WAD theory and all that . . .) That’s why I was actually quite impressed that MOST of this thread and about 99.9% of the original Bug Report thread were full of people who were willing to be supportive of each other, even when they may not have suffered as much of a loss as others. Good people are out there, but it takes a lot of looking. As angry as we are, I think having that community to commiserate with, and not feeling alone, not feeling like a freak for having multiple guild banks, not feeling like I was petty being furious and sad for losing almost the entirety of one of my banks, and partial loss of other banks (including the active guild).
It wouldn’t occur to me to go to a forum post or reddit thread of a bunch of people who were treated badly by a company (or an even worse loss or real-life catastrophe) due to no fault of their own, whether it’s loss of pixels, time, money or “stuff” (because it could be said “meh, it’s just STUFF”) and troll them. I don’t see the POINT. We’re not getting anything else back - at least let us rage and rant and rave till we reach “acceptance,” or find a constructive way to deal with this, and let us at least have the support of others. Or maybe even come up with some kind of a helpful solution (not likely though). This IS a support group pretty much. Why would anyone go to a support group to minimize others’ pain?
