Ripped off
Tried to purchase a rusty Rapier at the highpass merchant today and I got ripped off for 75pp and did not even receive the item. This BUG has to be fixed. New people can NOT afford to lose money. I sent a petition hopefully I can get reimbursed before i hit the level to buy spells, cause now that the game ripped me off I can't afford to buy them.

It seems, thus far, that reimbursement is anything but important. One of my guildees has been waiting for the GM's to credit him with a response for a very long time. As for me, it's been several days. It also destroys the quest. By the time it's REALLY fixed, I'll be out of the range for which the quest is even useful.
Well, someone once told me it helped to bump a post every day. I'll do that and see if it works. That 250 plat was my life's savings on two of my other characters. :-/ | ||

Yesterday, I sold backpacks to a merchant and didn't receive coin. These weren't items I had received from a quest turn-in, though I did acquire them by the old find a quiet corner and drop, then log on the other character and retrieve method. If it would be helpful, it's the two characters in my sig. Faeala bought the backpacks, Aurean sold them.
Just making sure this is all part of the same bug (since the source of the items was different than before), and not some new problem. Also, hoping against hope for an ETA on the fix update. :P | ||

Updates are generally unannounced. It's really a combination of having enough worth patching onto the main server, and Rogean having the time to patch it. I'm sure he makes it look easy since there's never more than 20 mins of downtime, but it takes him a lot more time than that to get everything ready and do it.

Makes sense. Thanks for the response!

Well, it's really some bullshit, man. Me and three of my friends quit playing because of the loss. Totally screwed us and our guild over and left us very frustrated. It's supposed to be a fun fantasy game, but the in-game GM's are apparently too lazy to reimburse, and the forum GM's don't even respond. No one repays what the glitches take, and there's no warning other than reading every bug in the forum, apparently. How hard would it be to change the NPC text to say: "Warning: quest items will not be resold," I wonder? I bet it's actually not a lot more work than most of us think. I bet it's a matter of changing the NPC's text. And there's nothing classic about getting ripped off at every damned quest merchant. I played classic for years on live and never had it happen even once. I'd think a game-wide ERROR/'huge fucking glitch' causing a gigantic fucking in the economy would be a PRIORITY. If it's already in the next patch... seal the freegin deal, man! And start reimbursing people for God's sake!!!!

Yeah man, it's some total fucking bullshit!
Because it's not like I already said this: Quote:
Code:

For the record, it's easier to pretend you left the server in a fit of erroneous self-righteous retardation if you actually leave. More than happy to assist you with that if you can't figure it out. Server runs much smoother without prima donnas prancing around being bitches like this is Walmart's Customer Service Department. | ||||

Look at my account. I did leave the server. No self-righteous bullshit. Also, my friends left it. We're all butthurt about it, and it's totally understandable. Someone responded to this thread recently, so I submitted an additional response. This has got to be the worst bug I've ever seen in any game, ever, Uthgarr.
And as for your already having said it: I'm not stalking you. Do some PR to cool the heads. You let people get pissed off and stay pissed off for months at a time. That shit ain't right. I don't know what you said when and where and whatever, and it's not my responsibility to. I'm trying to relax. I just feel like..., if it's patched already..., then upload the patch already! Because the coding must be very complex..., but come on.... Is uploading the patch really all that difficult? My programming experience tells me that that must be the easiest part. It's got to be 1 to 4 lines of code that you've done 10,000 times. Whatever whatever. The point is: this is a very important patch. | ||
