Warband Warbanks are Temporarily Disabled

Total cost of all Warbank tabs is 3,100,000+ gold…current amount of gold a token can get you …you would need to buy 9 tokens at cost of $180 US dollars…

That is probable the most ridicules thing I’ve seen said on the forums in a while and that’s saying a lot. :person_facepalming: :rofl:

Also if sign an an agreement agreeing to the terms on the sign it does.

I seriously doubt that. I played on the PTR and Beta and ReMiix characters couldn’t even see the Warbank tab just like they couldn’t see the Heirloom tab in collections.

I’m looking forward to this feature, so please take all the time you need to get it working properly!

Glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed that. Sometimes it’s slower, sometimes it doesn’t work at all and I have to manually click each other.

I think you’ve made a good guess; this could be an anti-dupe thing.

They implemented Warbands for account wide stuff. That’s it. That’s all. No one said every perk was all automatic and all easy.

the first three tabs are relatively cheap. You aren’t barred from the Warbank.

You are incorrectly/incompletely describing their stated reasoning for implementing Warbands (and the Warband bank). It may be wise for you to refresh yourself on the Blizzcon previews/interviews, as well as successive interviews they’ve given on it, and what behaviours they’re trying to simplify/reduce.

I’m not barred from the warband bank anyway, since I have unlimited gold. That doesn’t particularly change the design (or its flaws).

Of course, the thing that would bar me (and you) from using the Warband bank is if they never get around to fixing it so that it can be live.

That’s not really how contract law works though, especially on a “document” that one party gets to unilaterally change at will. That’s not to say that everything in an EULA is unenforceable, but it’s certainly more complex than you’re trying to portray it as.

The Warbank follows the same types of implementations as every other bank. No one ever claimed it would cheap, free or easy to unlock.

The Warband Bank would follow “the same types of implementations as every other bank” if the prices were slashed down to a nominal amount including for the last couple of tabs too. In fact, the fact that the last couple of tabs ARE priced the way they are differentiate the Warband Bank, aside from the technical implementation which is why it is currently disabled but we can still use the other bank features in-game right now.

What they actually have discussed is that Warbands are a QoL feature, and the Warband Bank is included in part of that. They’ve specifically talked about the awkward things people have had to do, like bank alts, and bank guilds, and wanting Warbands to help alleviate that awkwardness. That’s also why the Warband Bank includes things like being able to craft from it, so that you can put your reagents in there on any characters for any other characters to use, rather than having to play around with the time-consuming process of mailing stuff around. They’ve also mentioned wanting to add more WuE items in the new War Within content, making that shared space more important.

QoL features, and gold sinks, operate in different areas of implementation, with different standards that would be considered reasonable. That’s one of the reasons some parts of the Warband Bank being a gold sink (the later tabs), while some are not (the earlier tabs) gives a weird feeling, especially when they talk about planning to introduce more things to ensure you fill up that “easily obtained” space. Also, pricing the Warband Bank in such a way that people will continue to use guild banks, or bank alts, would invalidate the benefits of this QoL feature.

I certainly hope Blizzard are paying you to be their defense team.

Are guild banks broke too?

Price was never part of the “implementation” comment. You’re moving goalposts again to ignore the points I’m making.

QoL does not mean “cheap and easy for every tab.” Void Storage was considered QoL and it wasn’t cheap nor easy back then. Yet the first two to three tabs of 98 slots each in the Warbank are obtainable.

The Warbank follows the same philosophy, design and type of cost as SWTOR. Which you ignored completely to go off on a tangent I was never addressing.

So if you cannot stick to my point and keep going off on things that have zero to do with what’s being told to you, then there is no more to discuss.

And there it is. The personal jab because you have no real argument.

Have a better day. We’re done.

So it’s the weekend and I take it the issue was not fixed and might be pushed to 30th?

So because warbanks are disabled does that mean the new “warband” gear is also not a thing, because I havent seen it. lol the two big features they hyped up arent even apart of the patch and yet they have the nerve to send out a survey about “how are you enjoying the new warband feature” lol

I’ve seen it. I forgot where I sourced it from, but I right-clicked it to unlock the transmog and then it became Warbound until Equipped. I believe it was a Plate item.

If you’re saying that price was never even a part of the “The Warbank follows the same types of implementations as every other bank.” sentence, what the hell did you actually mean? I can understand if you’re claiming it was ONLY a part, but not the whole, but the idea that you said something and completely discluded price when price has been the key point of discussion would be weird as hell. Did you just randomly start having a different conversation or something?

Can you read? I specifically mentioned that it’s the later tabs that are acting as a gold sink (in the current implementation), not the earlier ones. it’s funny when you chop off quotes, pretend that something wasn’t mentioned, and then pretend that someone wasn’t sticking to your point, which changes to justify the situation because that’s all you’re actually doing.

This is untrue. You may believe it is so, but Blizzard’s statements contradict that proposition, and they certainly never made that comparison. We can look at this comparison, look at the various ways it doesn’t work at all for this discussion, and then discard it. It was never “ignored completely”, as you can see by simply scrolling up and reading.

Sadly, it wasn’t fixed (just checked) and it is looking more and more like it may be a Tuesday release. I guess it’s possible we could get it before then but it’s not looking very likely.

Because its their job. Because part of the stewardship of a game like this is communication. If I have systems down at work, I have to communicate with the users. I may not always like it but its part of my damn job. Just like its theirs. Fan boys trying to explain away doesnt change that.

The swtor economy is a total joke. they allowed so many exploits to flourish and did nothing about that there are huge amounts of credits out there. I dont play it all that often and I have 8 or 10 billion.

I assume yall were subbers, right? Last time I played as a Free To Play, I couldnt get credits for the life of me.
