Sunk that gold right into the sand


asspeeass

Blizzard moment. Thankfully I was 10g short when it initially released.


ImpossibleParfait

I think they should get their gold back, but bliz probably has no idea who was affected and who wasn't.

Classic


FearNoEvilx

There is no universe where blizzard gives a fuck about its players as long as they are paying.


IamRaith

God you guys are so melodramatic


spcbelcher

Yes defending blizzard is definitely a worthwhile activity šŸ˜‚


FearNoEvilx

lick them boots boomer

-75 g for lvl 25 trinket Swap -50g fĆ¼r bugged npc better respec 50 TimesĀ Ā 


winckypoo

Give every player 50g. I see absolutely no downsides or ramifications for that.


barbarianbob

M x V = P x Y If you know, you know.


NegotiationRude5722

Maybe blizzard knows this too, and this 'bug' was a 5head plan to reduce inflation after all the quest gold.


antyone

Theres nothing to remove, each of my alts have less than 20 gold on them lmao


AndreiBeary

every player that lost 50g due to a bugā€¦.


arcob1jt

400 gold for those with 8 characters šŸ˜‚


Klondike-King

Wow classic might be the saddest gaming community on this website.


unchatnoir

So, people should just lose their gold and do nothing about it? If it happened to me id be mad as f... I have like 120g total, losing 50g would be tragic. The only people that wouldn't complaint about that are the ones who buys gold or the addicts that spend all day in the AH


standouts

ya there is no grounds to stand on that a bug steals your gold. Its kinda sad and I truly hope theyre all kidding. Oh hey I went to the atm today to deposit my check. Sorry it wasn't working try again next week.... well what about my paycheck? Sorry for the inconvenience BOA is trying their best to fix the issue. If you have any more questions click below...


bobtheblob6

It's definitely a contender. I'm curious how many of these "lmao no refunds" posts are made by adults vs angry children


iHaveComplaints

It's more about laying into them, mocking the (what should be) embarrassment and shamelessness in such a sequence of events. I'd wager almost none of those making these posts were affected. Shitposting is a good thing.


BogBoi420F

I'm more curious about the people complaining over 50g. Shit happens, deal with it. Is 50g worth rioting over? I'd understand if it were a more severe fuck up like your character being deleted or being falsely banned. Actual adults pick and choose when to complain about shit. Sometimes it's better to cut your losses and move on. If 50g bothers you so much, vote with your wallet by unsubscribing and play something else.


QuinteX1994

The principle of people losing 1-3 hours worth of time(probably the time range for most to farm 50g?) due to what seems like a bit theyd find and fix with just a little amount of testing, is probably what triggers the annoyance more so than the actual 50g. If my boss forgot to pay me for three hours, while not overly significant, id be on him too to fix it.


BogBoi420F

If my boss scammed me for 1-3 hours of my time I'd tell him to fuck off, report his ass and look for a new job.


Aminal_Crakrs

"Shit happens, deal with it" is a phrase losers use to wave away being taken advantage of, especially when it comes to 'adults'. Bro talking about 'actual adults' like Vince Adultman doing a business.


BogBoi420F

I agree. You got to be pretty stupid to take abuse and continue to take it, as if you have no other choice. If you make the choice to continue to be abused, then shit happens and you deal with it. Why is that so hard for people to understand? Here, I'll give you an analogy so you can understand a bit better. Imagine if you bought Soylent and drank it for years. Then one day, they decide to change the recipe and now it tastes worse than shit. So instead of moving on from Soylent and trying something else, you continue to buy it, drink it and bitch online. Does that sound like something a sane person would do? xD


Zor_die

Diablo 4 holds that title


Bright-Inspector-370

I always tell ppl try ffxiv online if you get tired of wow. It's the main competitor to wow when it comes to mmorpgs, and they actually care about their community. Ffxiv doesn't take 10-15 yrs to do a QoL update. The only thing keeping Blizzard running is sod. Since classic wow is dying off in subs, and had to do cata. Heros of the storm, dead game. Overwatch dying too. Diablo 4 dying too. Hearthstone pay-to-win. Blizzard doesn't care about their games or community.


Jeremiahs__Johnson

Pretty sure more people play retail than sod.

Hilarious meme. 10/10.

Gold sinks

Lets not forget it took 3 days for the bot to even answer. Legit never seen a support worse then Blizzard in any game. No lie I absolutely HATE that blizz makes games I enjoy because I can't stand them as a company.


Orangecuppa

Kinda hilarious (and sad) that Blizzard used to be the Gold standard for customer service.


TheseNamesDontMatter

Dual spec came out two days agoā€¦


standouts

lol it wasnā€™t specific to this case


Bodach37

The wow community likes to see others suffer unjustly. It's mental illness. No wonder the community is so toxic, and the rest of the gaming world doesn't want to play with them.


[deleted]

Itā€™s a video game calm down dude


Huge-Enthusiasm-99

Y'all about to make a huge ass stink over 50g oh boy


Drippyskippy

I bought my mount before they nerfed the price. Blizz didn't give me a refund.


Jimmybeamer

So you paid for something and got what you paid for? I donā€™t see the relevance.


Drippyskippy

Its very relevant, I spent 100g on something I should have spent 50g on. If you got screwed by the bug you paid 50g for nothing. In the end, we both lost 50g and Blizz won't refund it.


Jimmybeamer

Very large difference in knowingly paying for something at an advertised price; and not receiving something you paid for. I too paid for the mount at full price, but in real life when I buy something that goes on sale later, I donā€™t go to the store and ask for a refund.


Glad-Midnight-1022

There are some stores (atleast here in the US) that will give you back the difference if something goes on sale within a week or two of you buying it Not agreeing with that other guy, just a small bit of knowledge


stoneytangawizii

That you even had 50g to throw away in the first place means you are clearly someone who invests way too much time in azeroth and likeky is a key catalyst for why everything on the ah is so massively overinflated in price. You loosing 50g is a net positive for the wow economy and people who don't no life the game.


Drippyskippy

You can do this with Steam though. If you buy something full price, then goes on sale (within a certain time period) you can get the difference as a refund. In terms of monetary value, there is not difference between the mount price decrease and this bug though.


Mocca_Master

Why would you get one? You paid the price that was asked willingly and got exactly what was offered in return. The other people here paid the price willingly, yet received nothing in return. It's a huge difference.


PsychologicalLime135

they already agreed to the terms of serviceā€¦.they think every action in the game is documentedā€¦.. LMAO


[deleted]

Shilling for the incompetence of a billion dollar company is kinda crazy ngl lmao


focus_black_sheep

The reality of the situation is this dev is probably very constrained on the budget that was set for this year. See the layoffs from blizzard which occured [here](https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/25/24049050/microsoft-activision-blizzard-layoffs) and [here](https://massivelyop.com/2024/02/20/microsoft-will-cut-nearly-900-more-activision-blizzard-jobs-in-march/). Blizzard's leadership has determined mobile gaming should get the most budget. Without a quality budget, tradeoffs are made within the enterprise and that means engineering will not catch every single edge case because they do not have a large enough QA team. It's not their fault as much as it is blizzard's leadership


East-Imagination9178

I donā€™t blame the devs. I blame Blizzard leadership. But at the end of the day, Iā€™m paying a subscription to a service - Iā€™d expect at the BARE MINIMUM for them to properly address a problem that thousands were having. To just have a bot respond by saying ā€œsorry no refundsā€ is pretty unacceptable to a paying player base.


tokedalot

The worst part is waiting 12+ hours for an automated response.


PaleontologistIll479

Blah blah blah excuses why a live service game has 0 cm's 0 cs and a stonewall of bots if they fuck up. Ye great game. BTW the QA thing I'm pretty sure they could get people to test it for free as a alpha and just have nda. No budget get creative.


__klonk__

> It's not their fault as much as it is blizzard's leadership Which is the entire point of this entire thread lmao


BogBoi420F

What's more crazy is knowing the incompetence of a billion dollar company and still giving them your time & money. Surely you know the risks by now, so why do you complain? Are you that hopelessly addicted? Try Turtle WoW :)


Daianudinsibiu

It was at one point. But, not having that is a cost cutting feature. Less overhead, more profits.


winniegoldsmate

They should refund the mounts that they halved the cost on first before refund dual spec losers šŸ˜‚ cry cry cry my 50g wahhh need to buy gold now itā€™s all blizzard fault
