Guild Bank Missing Items Bug -- Aug/Sept 2024

Not your fault. You have an opinion that differs from mine but choose kindness and logic, and I appreciate it. I might not be sentimental about pixels, but I am still human and have empathy for them. I’ve just always been more of a logic and perspective sort. And as luck would have it, I am having an Earl Grey hot as we speak. I could offer you a cup as well! I might be Irish, but I still have my manners :yellow_heart:

You have caught me totally out of left field, good sir - I haven’t seen the fabled Irish diplomacy exercised in such a skilled manner in many, many years. My grandfather would be ashamed of me! :yellow_heart:

On the contrary lass, you’ve shown me kindness and offered me tea. The only offense might have been the Jameson’s missing from a coffee, but English Breakfast is still a favorite :yellow_heart:

I’m sorry to hear you lost so much, also great guild name. Would have been incredible as all Dwarf or Goblin :slight_smile:

Yes, but that was before you graced me with critical information. Should your road ever lead by my garrison, I’ll invite you in for a strong mug and a sit by a warm fire. :slight_smile:

WRA… I knew it… I have a Mechagnome Mage on WRA, will have to send you a friend request and take you up on that cuppa by the hearth.

Now, now. Don’t judge too harshly, I’m a lady of many characters, and while I’ve been on WrA since its creation, it’s not where I started. :slight_smile:

Zero judgement, I have lived on WrA, Scarlet Crusade, Moongard, and a few others. RP is my life. I started on Suramar at the launch of TBC as a Nelf Hunter.

Started out with a Draenei mage on Silver Hand here. I personally haven’t spent much time on Moon Guard as it’s too busy for me, but SH and SoE were very hospitable back in the day. Haven’t actively RPed in years, though, mainly because of a years-long break in which I lost touch with the people I used to hang out with. If you want to @ me in game, msg any of the members of Niedergang on either WrA or MG. :slight_smile:

I lost tabs and tabs of crafting materials and supplies and pets, thousands of potential gold on several Guild vaults and this is the best we can do? Way to long to find out I’m out of luck! Also love how you downplayed the issue with cute word play. “A few items”…I lost everything.

There are numerous Blizzard employees on Xitter in an unofficial capacity.

I haven’t gone anywhere near that place since the change in ownership, but if you wanted to politely nudge for a meaningful more detailed update from someone, it might be possible.

I wish, if they were going to use social media, they would use something legitimate like Bluesky. I am absolutely not going to a malicious site that is completely blocked from my network anyway. The only way to even be remotely “safe” on Twitter is to use a secure browser, on a virtual machine that has never been used for anything else, and then put that behind a VPN using a server in a different country from where you live. Even that may not be 100%

I’m pretty sure it was to you that I mentioned needing to add gallons of mental bleach to the list, wasn’t it? :slight_smile:

There are also Blizzard employees on Fbook but I haven’t been on there since 2016. …

Yeah they’re having us post here because the following features of M$ Activision-Blizz:

  1. Nonfunctional customer service
  2. Lack of moral compass
  3. Programming ineptitude
  4. Unwillingness to perform code-testing/bug-checking
  5. Failure to make/utilize data backups
  6. Arrogance

Are currently “working” as intended™.

Yeah I’m not creating a facebook account, not a chance. I deleted mine several years ago. It’s not as dangerous as Twitter, but it’s not great.

I’m going with “Microblizzard.” It suggests smallness.

Yes it was! I remember that comment. I think I said there isn’t enough brain bleach on the planet.

Decided to come here since all of the other threads have been locked. Still haven’t received mail on both of my toons that are the GMs of Guilds that lost tabs of items. Hopefully this thread gets some traction because this is a pretty shameful way of handling a massive problem. I understand that you lack the ability to restore all those missing items, but just sweeping it under the rug is not the solution many are looking for.
