Guild Bank Missing Items Bug -- Aug/Sept 2024

first time proxy voting? these are the standard board recommendations for just about any company

Pretty good video.  Only disappointment was that he used Wowpedia as a reference since the community voted to leave Wikia/Fandom a year ago (we’re Warcraft Wiki now).  Goes to show how entrenched Wikia/Fandom is on the web.  :disappointed:

There’s a new development in my guild bank on the Draenor Server; my GM noticed the battle pet tab shows the bulk of the pets stored there as the “pet cage” icon, with no idea what type of pet it is. Ten pets have identifiable icons, but about 40 other stored pets are displaying as generic pet cages. Anyone else having this problem? It’s new issue, as of November 11, and it wasn’t displaying items that way during the initial Bank Heist this fall.

No mail, never gonna be I suppose.

Blizzard, stop running your company like Boeing. Quality matters, your profits drop as you let it fall, wake up.

You mean Boeing not Bowing…

I find it sad that I don’t trust any data point in this game anymore. I’ve trusted Blizzard for 19 years, but not anymore.

For 19 years I never worried about the mining node I just mined actually went into my bags. Or the stack of herbs I had in the bank wouldn’t be there the next time I logged on. Or the reputation I spent years farming decades ago would be erased.

The reason isn’t because of the Guild Bank Deleted Items. I might could forgive a singular bug (although this one is nearly unforgivable). It’s because of Blizzard’s non-response and complete desire for this issue to disappear.

Talk to us. Discuss this terrible data loss. Have your leadership express how sorry they are. Are they sorry? IDK? Your silence is hurting you in so many more ways you can’t imagine. Your PR team’s dictate to burry this is just wrong. The PR team is old school and hurting Blizzard.

What other data loss occurred in the last 19 years that we don’t know about because they effectively squashed the news of it?

This forum is nearing 50k views. It was opened September 20, 2024, after other forums had 10’s of thousands of views and were closed.

I have been posting since September 20, heavily critical of this customer data loss and Blizzard’s non-response and possible cover up. For the previous 19 years I only spoke positively about Blizzard, and how much I enjoyed World of Warcraft.

Back when I used to play this game, I’d fly into the dragon city and my map would be swamped with questgivers’ golden !'s… Today I thought about blizz’s perspective, their map is full players with green $$$s over their heads. What’s one less $ to them? The ongoing silence and inaction to the harm they’ve done just cements this viewpoint.

This is a new age a minimal QC and maximum monetization+FOMO. The $90 dino proves it. They’ve cheapened the spirit of this game so much I don’t even want to buy it anymore, I don’t want to be a part of it, and I surely won’t be recommending any of blizz’s games to anyone (quite the opposite).

Guess this is it for me. Good luck to everyone, and no you can’t have my stuff - blizz deleted most of it anyway.

See Pets in guild bank showing up as generic with no names or appropriate icons

OMG just went to check my Pets Bank, probably the only one that survived either unscathed or with so little damage that I didn’t even notice.

I hope this is only a visual but (which the EU CM says - of course it’s the one in EU that replies) and that this is NOT the start of another bigger issue.

I just can’t trust Blizzard with our data - all of our STUFF, achievements, etc. anymore. When I see an anomaly like this, in the back of my head, I think “OK, how is this going to get worse?”

Also, speaking of bugs . . . my guild bank logs are STILL NOT UPDATING. This has been going for MONTHS, preceding the Great Bank Heist. Is it EVER going to get fixed? Is ANYTHING having to do with the guild bank going to get fixed? (This is especially problematic for my ACTIVE BANK full of a bunch of people. I really like knowing what’s being put in and taken out).

Yeah mine are the same. They were actually working prior to the Great Bank Heist, but now they’re at best unreliable and at worst pointless. Blizzard should be working not only on fixing them, but improving them so we’re able to scroll back through them, like we can guild chat.

I did actually, but like items disappearing from my banks, chit happens.

Again, see the first post. Guys they are just some items in a video game and not that many people were affected. Its unfortunate they cant get them back but sometimes things happen and you cant control it.

there’s a big sticky thread at the top of the forum. seems like they’re pretty bad at making things disappear?

I dunno … I think they’re showing a pretty good knack for it. Not just guild vault items, but rep, currency and Honor are all going “poof” currently :sweat_smile:

As I understand, A LOT of people got little more than a few bits of “pocket lint” (myself included)!

Yes, less than 1% of items to less than 1% of guilds counts as a rousing success to the Warcraft Developers.

I wonder if the 1000 dollar mount mentioned in the above video will have a guild bank with all your missing items in it ? “Make Azeroth Great Again”

Just checked again yesterday and out of 4 tabs they returned 1 crystalized water, 1 sungrass and 1 mageroyal.

I am afraid to put anything in the bank and begin refilling it lest they turn around and say something like, “oh we were about to restore everything but because you put a stack of thorium in the second tab all the data was lost, sorry.”.

I find myself reluctant to deposit anything into my guild banks that doesn’t already have an occupied slot despite not expecting anything back.  May be irrational of me, but…
