Logged in yesterday (21 September) around 4pm MST. Checked both guild master characters, zero mails aside from what I’d previously sent them from alts, or the ever so helpful “Thanks for reporting!” messages.

Six of the seven banks I own that were affected received nothing back as of yet. The bank hit the hardest was full of every profession mat and a few random assorted items. The mats are about 90% gone and only two stacks of enchanting mats which didn’t disappear were returned. On the other hand I had stockpiled thirty stacks of the rank two DF bombs because the toys were a nice source of income, about half of those disappeared and they dutifully returned all of them right as the toys became worthless because you get eleventy billion of them from scrapping.
Sigh.

Might have been me. I mentioned it in Soulbreezy’s Tuesday stream like the week after it started happening, and Hazelnutty’s Saturday stream the same week. Both of them were like, “oooh, that’s bad”, said they’d heard about it, and moved on.
WowGrandma78’s stream had more discussion from her guild mates and others in the chat who said they’d been affected, but she’s not a “news” person like the others. (She’s also awesome, and everyone should watch her chill streams).

My guild lost pretty much everything on 7 tabs and nothing returned by mail.

The “restoration” was a lie. I think they just forgot that people can, you know, talk to each other and compare experiences.

Well I did get those 16 Leybloods back from 1 of my 21 guild banks. That totally makes it OK.
Nope, even Sarcasm doesn’t make this better.

Please add me to the list of people affected. I just logged on my personal bank guild with character Bankertroll to guild on Mal’Ganis to find the majority of 7 tabs of guild bank wiped out. There has definitely not been anything mailed to replace these items, which are items/transmogs/crafting mats back through WotLK. This is a big bummer, to put it lightly, and could find no way to put a ticket in game no matter what options I chose.

Nope it would seem that’s all you’ll get back…reread what they posted…near the end it says they are basically done now it fixing this issue…

Still nothing here.
I know this is a guild bank only issue, but I wonder what’s next. Will I log in tomorrow to find that all of my bags are empty?
I am really glad that they finally said something, and sent a few people some of their missing items, but I hope that some of you are wrong about Blizzard being done fixing this issue, and the rest of us will at least get some of the stuff back in the next week, or maybe some form of restitution, even some gold.

So did Blizzard just make sure influencers got their stuff back, did they coerce them to say it was fixed, or are influencers just too scared to say anything?

I want to be wrong about it too, and I absolutely hate being wrong.
They’re big enough, and have been big enough for long enough, that they have PR mouths that aren’t complete morons. It’s not an accident this news was dropped on a Friday. There’s plenty of the playerbase that’s got a weekend free to make a huge ruckus, but news outlets? No one does $#@^ on the weekends that’s of any importance.
I’m sure that the information passed along by Linxy from the higher ups, and the absolute garbage of a ‘restoration’, is all that we’ll be seeing of it. I’m sorry.
The thing about influencers is that they’re never in possession of their free will when it comes to the companies or products that they’re pushing - ever. Money talks. If it’s not cold hard cash, it’s other forms of compensation.
Coercion? Unlikely.
Scared? Maybe for the loss of their prestige or benefits.
I prefer to think of it as Blizzard shushing any wagging tongues with an adequate amount of immediate attention and oodles of goodwill swag.

It´s funny how you can write a bad review on Amazon for a screwdriver and a few minutes later you receive a message of the seller, offering you an entire tool set, if you just turn the 1 star rating into 5.
I guess its the same deal with influencers in video games, reputation is everything and sadly us players are not responsible for it, but those with thousands of viewers on Twitch and YT are.

I would say, most likely, they had people dedicated to making sure influencers were silently restored in the background without anyone even saying anything.

Best way to keep people from complaining is to give them nothing to complain about.

4 Guilds. One completely, utterly gutted. Others with few items missing.
Nothing at all returned. Not even an ingame message telling me or apologizing for whatever specifically targeted my banks. No compensation. Nothing.
Absolutely unacceptable. If this isn’t more properly resolved by the time my game time is up, I’m done. And yes, I will be pasting this in every thread I’ve followed about this matter, to help keep them active until Microblizzion understands that this is far, far from over.

I’m so bummed! 
I’ve been so upset about this, since they said they basically were doing a partial or no-restoration.
Been playing the game since vanilla. The memories I have in my GB and some of my gray-silly trash is important to me.
They are not really ‘Bliz’ anymore, they haven’t been for some time, w/the lack of communication or concern for their customers. They’re just a big company now, that seems to not care about their players. I mean, the original creators are gone, so I guess this is what it will be like for the future? I can’t believe the streamers are silent about this. I guess they can’t bite the hand.
It really blows. Bliz had some of the best customer service in gaming. They really did. Now they ‘‘can’t do anything’’.
I am SO SAD. I’m afraid to even touch my guild bank.
I’m sure they have logs or data; or did they delete that too? Considering it’s such a huge problem, I’m surprised they chose to not say … anything at all for a month/more. This is the state of the game, now, I’m afraid. Cover it up, hide it, don’t take responsibility.
In beta, they had vendors where you could take huge stacks of items to craft with, so the possibilities are there to do whatever they want with the game.
We’re just asking for our stuff, our memories, back. We’re not asking for stuff we didn’t have. How is asking to please return what we had in the gb unfair?
Truly.
Still no mail. I am SO bummed out. 7 bank tabs almost full - completely deleted. With no concern to the devs.

I caught mine within DAYS of renewal, so I got lucky. I highly recommend/urge this action. Blizzard/Microsoft will likely do nothing about this otherwise. You need to understand, however, that this isn’t just about a game. It’s about DATA and protecting it. If Blizz/MS can’t protect valuable game data, how can they protect valuable documents or any other type of data? I had some legal business documents stored on my OneDrive cloud. I am in the process of removing everything. Microsoft can’t be trusted with ANY DATA. This is the sign of a very sick company that will take advantage of you. Get out before you lose something else!
