Some people raid. Some PVP. Some push Mythic+. It’s good that there are different activities to make you happy.
I collect. This is a collector’s worst case scenario.

Well that would be something. I think that number is from views, the replies were just under 3k. Still a staggering number for the Bug Report forums though.

Thank you, I fixed it to say views!

… what? Linxy specifically responded to me.
Look, I get that the situation sucks, but let’s try not to make stuff up.
Same. I am not particularly gifted with social skills (lmao) so I tend to avoid social settings and activities (yet here I am, right?) so I don’t raid, or PvP, or anything like that.
Mounts, battle pets, tmogs, exalted reps, achievements - that’s where my interests are. I haven’t lost any of those - and I am very sympathetic and sorry for those who have because I know how that would hit me - but as a collector of achievements, the loss of my guild bank contents really did screw me hardcore in the area of the profession achievements. I was storing all the mats I was saving up for those in my guild banks, because I tend to stash stuff away until I can smash out a third to a half of an expansion’s profession progression in one sitting. The reagent bank can handle one expansion worth, maybe two - but it’s not enough for more than that, and due to the expense (and later bugginess) of the warbound bank, that was simply not an option for me.
I apologize for the ramble, lmao.

None of those things actually mean anything anyway. There is no reason to get attached to digital items in a game.
I wonder what Blizzard will come out and say once they accidentally start Thanos-snapping players’ characters away.
Can’t really issue a refund for an investment over time.

True technically we own none of it and it has no real legal monetary value. In fact, Blizzard could end achievements and delete all of our things if they wanted to for any reason. Though it wouldn’t help with others view of them and the game.

To you but why assume the same of others?
I frankly don’t care that much about losing my Guild bank, but I know others that do.
Says who? I am very attached to Paladina, I’ve spent literal years in this game, I’m far from the only one, so to say there is no reason is just trolling.
If my account got nuked life would go on for sure, not to say I wouldn’t be very sad about it though.

This is how most companies work. They want to do the right thing (or their employees do, excluding executives) and for the most part they do. I’m always shocked at how much effort Blizzard takes in avoiding good customer service, products, services.

Im curious, if you feel that way, why would you give them money? I know I couldnt do that.

I mean, if you go by that logic, the Mona Lisa doesn’t really “exist” either lol. There’s no real person behind it, not anymore, and the canvas itself isn’t even the thing with value. It’s just a bunch of paint arranged in a certain way.
And yet, how much do you want to bet that, if they had to choose, the French government would let you die if it meant saving the Mona Lisa?

I see no thread created by you in CS. I see the Bug Report one was closed, but there is no blue response there.
Most likely, you were told that there isn’t anything CS can do for your guild bank. And there isn’t. The CS forum is a peer to peer help desk with assistance from Support Forum Agents. They don’t fix bugs. They can’t bypass in game systems.
Because GMs cannot do anything about bugs or returning your stuff either. When a blue post tells you they can’t do anything, they aren’t lying. All you did was waste their time and ours with a ticket.
Can you show me where this is? Or are you projecting again?
There is nothing they could possibly gives us to compensate.
I lost stuff from two guild banks. There’s no compensation they could give us.
Gold? You can’t inject that into the economy.
Game time? A cosmetic? Who cares? It doesn’t bring back the stuff and who do you give it to? Everyone in the guild? Just the guild lead?
This part I agree with.

What, lol? Virtual items in a video game are not comparable to real life. This is the problem that some of you cant differentiate between the two.
Top tier stupid take right here. Holy moly.
Time investment and not much choice for the value. Pretty much sums up most players. No one wants to move onto another game or a new extension of the game without feeling they lost everything from years of playing.
I know when I went from Ever Quest to Ever Quest 2, graphically I was much more impressed. Re-imagining the world and how things worked compared to the original. But the loss of all that hard work put into that character and all the friendships and memories gone.
When I left World of Warcraft after seven years, I never expected to come back, but 9 years later I did and while my original characters where still in my original guild I started over on a new server because that guild and server are basically a dead with player activity.
But eventually I will leave WoW again, not sure if I would come back again. But by then the game will be either on life support or closed to make something else.

Absolutely unacceptable. The fact that the WOW token exists gives everything in game a real world $$ value when you think about it. For them to just say too bad there is nothing we can do is literally stealing from players. Some people might have spent real money on tokens to purchase the items in game, others might have farmed like crazy trading their time for these items. My bank didn’t lose as much as others but I definitely lost stuff, like patterns I had stockpiled.
I remember back in vanilla with the old terrible pvp system where you had to play 24 hours a day to try and rank up, they had an issue after restart and no one got any honor. People played all week and got nothing for it. You think they’d improve after all these years….

New bug has been resetting honor levels back to 0. Not to be confused with the other new bug resetting random reputations back to neutral. Time will tell if they’re restored, they may not have the data backed up afterall.

Can confirm.
Friend just had her honor level reset to level 1. She was in the high 400’s prior.

There are no inherent differences between the various mediums that carry fiction and entertainment. Codes that “don’t exist” literally have replaced the canvas and brush, the book and the pen. Or do you perhaps think that most commercial artists nowadays are still sketching with graphite and paper lol?
