Guild Wars 2

I decided to try my luck at the Moa race earlier. I have almost no cash left, as I blew most of it on Zap, and I haven’t been playing a whole lately.

In any case, I won my first race, then placed second and third 2-3 times.

But now, I could’ve sworn that I had placed bets on some of the winning birds, and did not get a dime. In fact, the event did not even update to tell me that I had won OR lost. Yet now I’ve lost almost 2g (with about 10-20 silvers left), with nothing to show for it.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Did you check your mail? The winnings come in the mail as vouchers, that you then turn in to the apprentice next to Tigg.

Though there should be an event medal in your upper right once all 5 birds arrive, so long as you have stayed in the race area, giving you gold, silver, or bronze, or a copper Event Failed if your bird was 3rd or 4th.

I suppose I wasn’t very clear on that. I received several winnings the first few times, but now, I don’t get ANYTHING. No mail, no event medal, not even to tell me I lost.

Yet that stupid little Asura still accepts my money.

I know what you’re talking about. I had the same problem and I posted about it in another long-since-buried thread.

The first time I bet, I did the mystery moa. There was no notification that I’d bet, but since it was my first time I didn’t know there should have been one. I lost that race, but several races later I bet on Motti – again, no notification but I thought maybe I only get it the first time I bet on a particular moa. Motti won. No prize. I won the race after that as well and got my prize.

When I started betting I’d checked my money because I only had maybe 4 gold on that character. So it was definitely taking my money every time.
