I tried invis turning something in yesterday assuming there wasn't any real faction required, and it got eaten.

I'd understand if the GMs didn't see fit to reimburse it cause that was my mess up, though. If they do I'll be grateful and know in the future I can't try invis turning in that part of the quest.

Pro tip - Mobs that see invis don't like it when you try invis turnins. And KoS mobs will happily eat your turnin piece!

That's borderline bug though, or at least something you wouldn't necessarily know about. Doesn't really compare to selling your high value goods to a vendor and forgetting about them. Think asking for reimbursement here would be like asking for one if you turned your Ragebringer MQ to Anson. As in 100% your own fault for not paying attention.

Idunno, heard people petitioning dumbest screwups. Imo it's not really worth it to waste the staff's time if you gave your sky items to the wrong quest npc, but seen guys do that with the mindset that "it's worth a try".

Staff helped me with a botched sky turn in once. I'd imagine they'd help with this if able, but hard to say.

so using vendors as personal space is now acceptable. If someone buys your shit just report them.

From what I understand they can give you back items accidentally sold to a vendor as long as it isn't bought by another player first. Clearly these strings still exist in the game, the person that has them has done nothing wrong to get them so they can't be taken back. Duplicates cannot be created, not classic, not legit.

I don't get why people in this thread are talking about screwed-up turnins as somehow being "less" than intentionally selling your super expensive shit to a merchant and then FORGETTING about it. Like "well jeeze, if the GMs will help reimburse quest items that you turned in wrong by accident, surely they will aid with this extremely unfair situation!" Do you guys really think screwing up a turnin for quest items that you had to collect over months is less-deserving of the GMs' time than this?

I'm not saying I don't think the puppet strings should be reimbursed. I mean, I don't, honestly, because if they get reimbursed then the server has one more set of puppet strings than it is supposed to and with that precedent set we've got a pretty sweet new method for totally legitimized duping on our hands- but that's beside the point. What I am saying is, what am I missing here that you people think a failed quest turnin is less assistance-worthy than this?

The person you're responding to made a mistake turning quest items in. Entirely different situation than this.

Shouldn't do both. It's classic.
As for the issue at hand:
Highly doubtful that Sirken would make anyone give anything back from a vendor. Hasn't happened in the past at least. I don't see a huge issue with dropping a name of who bought it. I did that before, but only after I asked the person who bought it, if the person who sold it to the vendor could contact them.

Drop items,mess up quests,sold items off vendor (start buying everything back) is different here than on classic servers.

I dunno, man. The whole Machiavellian "sorry you didn't unstack your bone chips/turn in the fire opal before the other three pieces of the epic" thing is cool to a point, but there are some things with some of these quest turnins that are just arbitrary and begging for people to fuck them up. Plus, mistakes get made. Mistakes of varying degrees of reason- there's a lot of grey area.

One time i was trying to do a Lambent quest and I turned a piece in to the wrong npc because two erudites were standing next to each other and one of them said "give the gem to my brother" and I just assumed it was the other erudite. Turns out it was a high elf across the zone. That one's on me- I didn't read the wiki closely enough and perhaps my understanding of what it means when an erudite refers to someone as his "brother" was a little misinformed. I had already petitioned because I thought it was a bug when I realized what I'd done, so I followed up the petition and said look, this one was my bad, don't reimburse the shit. And they didn't. But there have definitely been situations where I or someone I know has made some terrible mistake that really, really wasn't their fault, it was just human error or a bad series of events, and the GMs have helped them out, and I've said, "yes, that was a time where I believe it was good for the GMs to help."

The cool thing about being on an emulated server rather than a corporately owned official one is that the people who run this thing can bend the rules a little bit in the right situations to make the game more pleasant for people. Imo. It's a fucking game, we don't need to be twisting peoples' arms and putting them on the rack because they got two items with a similar name and the same graphic mixed up.
