Please allow GMs to fix quest rewards

Yeah, definitely going to be extra careful after this. I’m still not sure how it happened, since I doublechecked that I had ZHC selected as opposed to the others. Must have clicked an extra time on something I shouldn’t have.

I don’t think that’s reason to say “yeah, you deserve to be screwed for that” though. There’s a reason the buyback tab has existed on vendors, all the way since vanilla. There’s a reason mistakenly disenchanted items were recoverable by a GM back then, by the item restoration service now. Those systems also come with limits, ie. 12 slots for the buyback tab, cooldown and 30 day limit on the item restoration service.

Given we don’t have something like that for quest rewards, I don’t understand why we need to shut the door and say “Quest rewards are different, they must go one-way and one-way only!” I’m not saying “let the prot warrior switch his tanking quest trinket to DPS when he wants”. I’m saying to let the GMs make the call on based on what Vrakthris said:

What i don’t understand is there is an automated system in place for accidental deletion of an item that has a CD to prevent abuse…and yet they can’t offer the same exact thing for quest rewards.

an automated system requires no man hours to operate. It’s just on a website for players to use…it’s already built and in the game for deleted items…it can’t be that hard to turn on for wrong quest items.

that would take work though

im not saying it would be “hard” we all know blizzard is capable of this.

They would have players trying to abuse this in no time.
People that fairly lost a roll would be trying to get them to take the item
from the one who won it, and can use it, just because they lost.

No, they wont take the item. But that wouldnt stop players from
making tickets. Simply because they lost the roll.

You don’t roll on quest items…

You can still buy thunderfury…just buy gold from one of the botters blizzard doesn’t care is in their game…and pay a guild. Bam…you just bought thunderfury.

Yes, I know. But that wouldnt stop people from trying it for instance drops.

Trying what? Have you even read any of this thread…

Putting in a ticket trying to get a item they lost a roll on.
If they changed items at all now days. People would try it for
any situation.

This is a thread about restoring accidentally picked quest items…

I know. If they restored items AT ALL that easy. People would be trying
it for all items. Including losing a fair roll in a instance.

They do restore items though. in certain situations only.

How could you guys argue that item restoration is acceptable but not quest selection restoration? This is the same premise.

If you have a BiS misclick from a quest you should be able to get a simple fix, it has limited consequences to the game especially when you consider the scale and impact of item restoration.

If you want to argue both should be removed fine I agree, but not one without the other. Stupid mechanic making a random quest green a BiS item anyways, effectively forcing you to potentially re-level the toon.

lmao you’re probably just bad at the game if you cannot tell that an item is good based on your first look over the stats. nice necro so you can cry about your own incompetency

This is unnecessarily mean…

More customer support tools are a good thing, not sure why so many people disagree lol they really hate the idea…until they make the same mistake :x

dont care, go cry in a corner

Who’s crying? The guy is doing what the GM told him to do…

she was burnt by her own incompetency, and is now on the forums asking for the rules to be changed to make up for said mistake, does someone have to show tears for it to be considered crying, or is the internet past that?
