I think they will be nothing like a handful of guild banks that Blizz no longer cares about and stopped responding to. Thankfully, they have shifted their focus to something more important and widespread… player housing!
People like to roleplay in their massively online roleplaying game.

They’ve been roleplaying for 20yrs without player housing tho.
And we’ve been asking for housing for about just as long.

Housing isn’t just for roleplayers.
I know. The person I responded to answered another player’s question about the point of housing, with “people like to roleplay in their RPG” implying that housing is being added for RP purposes.
Ah… my bad. Sorry.
I see there’s still one person left going on about the ‘nothing being done’ bit.
No wait, there’s another one.
Yup.
You lost something you bought in the cash shop? Open a ticket. Oh wait, this never happened. Thanks for stopping by.

They did nothing because there was nothing that they could do.
Then they should have done what they can.
Oof.
I’m glad I don’t use em.
They could have tested it better on the test server before rolling it out live…
Which is exactly what they did.
Some bugs will slip through, regardless of how much testing you do.
They could’ve taken people at their word and replaced lost, unnattainable items. And before you mouth off about people taking advantage of it:
Some people getting things they didn’t have before >>>> people losing things they can’t get back.
Of course, the real reason blizzard didn’t do this is because it would’ve been a manpower tax on them. So, the other poster is correct, Blizzard did nothing.
They couldn’t flip a switch and reverse what happened, but they could at least have tried to make things right, but they didn’t.
Better than housing. Why not make every door in stormwind able to be opened?
Does not matter the video game that has an open world. Imagine if all buildings in GTA you could go in and adventure around. Or those skyscrappers ride elevator to any floor and room.
So it would have been okay for everyone to ask for 100 million gold, 999 of every mat in the game and a full set of 639 gear? Cool. Glad you aren’t in charge of anything in this game.
Proof? Or did it come out your rear end like everything else in your post?
They did what they reasonably could, and that’s what you’re going to have to accept. If you don’t like it, then quit.
Slippery slope fallacy. Next
It’s the only valid reason I can think of to why they didn’t open tickets up to restoring items from this incident. I guess malice is another possible reason, but that reflects even worse on them.
Again, they could’ve opened up ticketing for item restoration. They didn’t.
Are you on the payroll or something? Or do you just view Blizzard Entertainment as a replacement for an absent father figure and feel the need to defend them?
Please, keep this up, I always love the opportunity to humiliate a bootlicking fool.
Yes,
the basic idea back in the days was to increase your storage, hire NPC´s for crafting / selling, building farmland for food and so on.
It was supposed to be an addition to the cities, that were hard to reach before porting or flying became a thing in MMOs. People could build a house somewhere, put a vendor in it or offer a crafting station, so when you as a player were out in the wild and your sword broke, you did not need to travel back to the major city for several hours, but could instead visit the house of another player and get your repairs done.
This helped building the community and creating a social environment for everyone.
Today, when each city has everything and you can port there within a few seconds, housing looks as a relict of the past. So from this point, it´s just a cosmetic playground.
That being said, if housing then I would like to see it impemented like in the old days, as I am not a big fan of the cities in WOW; they are too crowded and full of people on their mounts showing off infront of vendors and mailboxes.
It wasn’t my intention. Was just trying to say that it’s still good for blizzard to add things to the game even if they aren’t directly tied to player progression if the feature is something a bunch of players are requesting. I’m not for or against housing either, but I’m happy for the people that have been waiting years for it and it will give me another avenue of the game to explore.
