I’d think some kind of compensation is due.
Maybe a clutch of mounts they don’t own, trader tender or tokens.

Then 
use older logs .
Also Blizzard themselves have said nothing, for all we know they stopped keeping logs years ago, or maybe not. The supreme lack of communication helps nobody do anything but wildly speculate as to their capabilities and motives.

You can’t prove the items weren’t used or consumed with older logs .

at this point how would WoW go about snapshotting the game state in the event that a full game state rollback would be needed?
ZFS maybe?
I bet this games database alone is measured in the petabytes of storage if not exabyte range.
I can’t think of any solution that wouldn’t cause a week or more of downtime to do the restore.
I’m not picking on you. I’m pointing out how much of a bad faith bandwagoner you are.
But I guess you’d have to call it “bullying” to try and see yourself as the poor little white knight getting ganged up on lol.
It would be impossible to determine HOW you could compensate something like this.
But it’s easy to demand something like compensation when you don’t understand anything about the problem other than parroting outrage.

It’s not contentment. It’s resignation. There’s a huge difference.
It’s done. Move on.

Right because there’s a difference.
Lets hear it.
Yup. There is literally nothing players can do and blizz has already stated they did what they can.
I don’t understand what they think is going to happen by kicking and screaming.

We don’t even need to have the CS staff to tell us what happened, we can extremely easily deduce what happened:
WoW is a game with 20+ year old code where they it was built from the very beginning with a faction divide. This divide meant that they didn’t consider some things 20+ years ago when writing the code, such as the many cross-faction and cross-account functions and features that we know have broken the game over and over again.
The simple reality of what happened is this … Items that weren’t ever supposed to be together were put into the same bank accessible by multiple characters who shouldn’t have had access to the data. Meaning that some benign items likely used the same data values in places and with 20+ years of code to go through, multiple versions of items, and likely a whole load of stuff that we just can’t imagine being part of it … Yeah, stuff got corrupted and the data is gone.
We don’t even need to have official statements to know that some version of this is the most likeliest thing that happened.
They have made an official statement that you just reject to listen to. Nothing of what they say is something you, and many others, would ever listen or care to listen to. So, what’s the point of making additional statements beyond the one you are ignoring?
They have done what they can, and that’s all there is to it. Either accept it, or don’t. If you don’t, spend your time and money elsewhere?

Honestly dude, I’m pretty sure you can’t read at all. You keep reposting some quote like its magic when you haven’t paid attention to EVERYONE ELSE telling you the restorations didn’t happen. Downplaying the problem and promising to restore things, even if its not quite everything, then restoring nothing and dropping the issue entirely IS the problem.
And to clarify not even things still in the recent guild deposit logs are restorable to Blizzard, that’s how little they tried to fix this problem. Leaving tens of thousands of guilds hollowed out while they work on $90 store mounts and fixing delves so Brann stops killing players.

They did happen. We just didn’t get everything. Some got nothing. I got nothing for one bank and 40 health pots for another.
But they still did what they could. Problem is that most of that coding and log is gone.
Are meaningless. That “feature” has been bugged for ages.

It is a video game yes, but a video game is still a product that people paid for. If the product is faulty, then you do have certain rights as a customer and a company has to address the situation properly.
If you go to a barber shop and you leave bold, because the person responsible for your hair, had a bad day, do you just accept that? This person could have a bad day any time again, it´s a big risk for all the customers to keep such a person employed.
Look, I am not trying to get people fired at Blizz, for this we all don´t know enough about why it happened and everyone deserves a second chance as well.
It´s quite possible that a supervisor did refuse to run the necessary backups, or that someone just said “we don´t care” who may be just sitting in an office all day counting money.
But and that is the thing, the customers had a negative experience and an unhappy customer is bad for your company, so you need to react to it and not sit it out as if you don´t care.
No need to insult him, as the same could be said about yourself.
There is a line that states, “not all guilds will have all their items restored”, but the truth is, not a single guild had all items restored, but most got not a single one restored.

… right, the mount is a travesty but what is a 3D modeller supposed to do exactly…?
“Hey, we lost a bunch of stuff because of corrupted data and we want you to make a 3D model of … something to replace player’s items. No, we won’t tell you what it is you are making either because honestly… there’s just this random dude on the forums complaining about it, and whilst their frustration is understandable, we aren’t really sure what 3D modellers are supposed to do to ‘fix’ this either.”
And “Brann killing player” is not even in the pallpark of the same kind of coding taking place. The most you can get from or for this is a webcomic from Dark Legacy (and you are getting a two-for-one deal as you are also getting one about the 90$ mount as well):

So trust GD oooor a blue… hmmm… considering the disingenuous of posters like that silly vulpera, I’m pretty sure it’s obvious which is more trust worthy.
Also… “EVERYONE ELSE” is how many exactly? You realize the tiny population that uses the forums right?
If they got their items restored… why would they be in gd complaining?
But it’s easy to ignore obvious things like that when you are more focused on being outraged.
And you know this how?
You work as a dev in blizzard and know at what point the backups became corrupted?
Love when a someone finally shows where their outrage comes from lol.

This is false. I know of quite a few that had everything restored. Some even said they had pages upon pages of mail.
