Guild Bank Missing Items Bug -- Aug/Sept 2024

Bingo! I do not believe for second they cannot replace every single item you can see in your log. Complete and utter nonsense

And, if you can see it, Blizz can see it. Your list has a lot of pricey items. ugh…

‘Incomplete’ restoration? I haven’t even gotten anything on Moneza-WyrmrestAccord, the GM and lone guild member of the guild he’s in, even though the guild bank lost stuff in this incident.

Ironically, the only thing that was left and didn’t get deleted in the first place was all the fourth of july sparklers he had in the last tab. :expressionless:

How do you (Blizzard) propose to properly compensate us for those items you “can not” restore, please?

Also, how do you propose to compensate Guild Masters for their time spent moving all the recovered items back into their guild banks, in the proper locations. I do not believe that any one would label this type of make-work as “fun.” Since you (Blizzard) are refusing to properly finish the restoration yourselves, you should compensate the guild masters for doing what should have been your work (i.e. putting the lost and recovered items back into their proper places).

No work for me since they apparently can’t restore anything of mine at all. Woopsie!

So:

  • A month ago, stuff began disappearing from guild vaults
  • Some folks lost one or two items, some folks lost entire tabs
  • There was no way of players knowing what was lost
  • This continued for days
  • Blizzard provided no meaningful updates except in a thread in EU
  • In particular, response from CS in the US was a mixture of silence and “stop reopening this ticket or we will action your account”
  • This affected, at a minimum, hundreds of customers, and at a minimum, hundreds of thousands of items (I’m certain it was at least millions)

Blizzard’s response now:

“Ah well, yeah, our bad, anyway, get on with your life.”

They literally don’t care, they know you will stay sub and buy their next expansion and the same for everyone that lost their item.

Explains they don’t retain logs forever, but that they’ve spent the last month combing through as many as they could to salvage what they could

“Oh my god, why do they hate us?”

EDIT: And for the record, yes, they could have acknowledged the issue sooner than a month later. But to say that they didn’t do what they could is just being obtuse.

It’s really disappointing what we’ve seen with this debacle. Also it’s already been a month? Yikes. Time is flying!

Good thing my guild vault is made up of dust, 30 gold and that random health potion from 3 expansions ago

A GM back in the day told me they keep logs ~1 month, but that was in regards to chat logs and many years ago.

I imagine with guilds, it’s more likely the last X thousand “transactions” in the bank.

People who think it’s realistic for them to be able to retain everything don’t know how data storage works lol.

I would wager the majority of guilds will get everything back. They even say the restoration will only be incomplete for some.

That’s not what they said lol. They said they had to identify the bug and have restored what they can, but there may still be lost items.

I’m having a good time with TWW, but it’s got beta level of bugs going on.

Online/web/cloud “services” log all kinds of stuff for internal use.

Then the logs become part of “analytics,” along with stuff that’s preserved specifically in order to research bugs, address customer problems, address operational issues, answer LE requests, and so on.

Yes. “My bad”… That’s what they said. Not that they did what they could, but data was unrecoverable.

Not complete without some simp defending this monumental incompetence from Blizzard!

Better a “simp” than a futile doomsayer with nothing to contribute.

I would be astonished to find that some “maintenance process” that creates/deletes/alters items in game is not exhaustively logged. That’s a worse problem than the bug itself.

Among other things, you have to have this information in order to detect things like dupes.

There really is literally nothing worse that can happen in WoW than items being deleted. It’s basically deletion of an account, one bit at a time.

Its never happened before, in the history of the game.

Where is Blizzard’s I.T. department? Do they not do database backups?
