So I recognize as I post this, it isn’t specifically a BUG report, but rather a way of not doing things in Classic that seems like there’s no real reason why.
I turned in my Onyxia head, and as a Rogue I took the Onyxia Blood Talisman instead of the Onyxia Tooth Pendant by accident. I clicked it too quick or was thinking about how I have it on my Warrior. Either way the deed was done.
Total time equipped was about 15 seconds. I opened a ticket immediately for a resolution which I figured would be a simple, destroy the item, I’ll get the correct item in the mail.
It was not to be, the GM told me that WOW classic doesn’t allow that, basically said I’m screwed. That to me seems ridiculous. Yes I messed up but that is a 40 man Raid quest that I completed, there is no line of “hey sorry you didn’t take Thrash blade” vs “sucks you wasted 40 people’s time on the wrong item” ??
Why is this not a thing that can be fixed? It seems so trivial a correction that can be made. I’m super disgruntled at myself, and at the fact that a simple swap can be conducted.
So I guess the bigger concern here is that in retail when item goofs are usually addressed in a positive manner for the player, why are we screwed in Classic, because I think that fixing mistakes like this doesn’t detract from the intent of Classic at all, it helps support that large community that came back.
