Not only that, but these soulbound items wouldn’t even be able to go back into the guild banks they originally came from.

Honestly…I’m on the luckiest edge of this, because I didn’t have anything valuable in the guild bank. And I did get my inky black potions back (which probably cost the most gold of anything in there).
But if what we’ve received so far is the extent of the “restoration”, and there aren’t more waves of mail coming (which does make sense, sending everything all at once would probably crash the mail system), then in a way it’s almost worse than nothing, because what some people have gotten back is insulting.

One of the very few items that I have received back was Pattern: Raven Lord’s Gloves and I went back to check once some people mentioned their boe items were soulbound. I was able to throw it up on the AH. edit: Granted, maybe it would never become a soulbound thing, but with what someone said about their lockboxes being empty once unlocked and whatever, wouldn’t be surprised on other wonky things

At this point there is no testing anymore, experimental stuff is just pushed live with the expectation that the players will test it without noticing.

I wonder if even the restored items are randomly bugged. Wouldn’t surprise me at this point.

why what timeframe they give?
Not in this case. Everything restored for me so far is as it was. I think this is less of a restore and more of a return situation.[quote=“Breadisfunny, post:216, topic:1963451, full:true, username:Breadisfunny-turalyon”]
bro when an item is restored it is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS made soulbound. this is gm policy.,

thats odd. usually they are always soulbound regardless of if they were boe or bop. they might have made an exception if its just one person here or there.

You’re right but this is a unique situation so the process is probably unique as well.
possibly but yeah the usual policy is to make all items soulbound.
Right what im saying is what we see is 1 thing vs what they see. We only see 24 hours due to the ingame stuff we are permitted to see. I wonder what they have or had stored.

Question: I have screenshots I took literally days before this bug took effect, because I’m just the kind of weirdo who enjoys screenshotting before and after bag/bank clean-up shots at the start/end of each expansion.
If I provide those screenshots will I be able to request any items not returned to be sent to me?

No, they don’t accept screenshots as proof of anything, they never have.

Probably wont do much but never hurts to submit and ask.

As a Co-GM for a guild and the current GM on vacation - when she caught wind she asked for me to check on our bank.
Pretty much everything is gone; and on a RP server where we are a performance based guild with the thought of coming back the scene this is extremely dishearting. Pets gone, Mounts for raffles gone. A FULL BANK TAB of fireworks – gone. Materials GONE.
And to say that we’re basically SOL for this items – with the comment that only some of it can be returned? Soulbound items from BoE’s? It’s like a slap in the face for trying to build any sort of community.
It’s going to take months to try to regrow our stockpile - The only solace I have is that the guild funds were left alone.
Some other sort of action needs to be taken to make things right in this circumstance. The customer service needs to come up with a way to try to right their wrong in some sort of way - rather than a pile of items that literally can not be added back to the guild bank.

Right but if the screen cap has a date and time they may be able to use it to pinpoint when to rolle back the guild banks.
Doubt it but hopeful lol

Really sucks, I was pleased with how I reorganised the banks to store all my old expac materials and then half of it vanishes
I’d rather have my guild banks rolled back to August 12 than just deal with the losses. Hopefully the withdrawal/deposit logs are still intact…

There are no “rollbacks”. GM’s can’t do anything about it, screenshots or not, date/time or not.
Even better is it happened a month ago and the servers weren’t shut down within the same hour to apply a rollback via backups.
