There’s an issue with Elonian Wine where the price doubled with today’s build. This is an error. That is, there was not an intentional price increase. (No special vintage or ultra-rare grape harvest; no wine shortage after a hearty Labor Day party in Lion’s Arch. )

You may want to hold off on buying Elonian Wine until this is fixed. The fix will be rolled out as soon as possible, but we don’t have a precise timeframe for it quite yet.

Thanks for understanding.

It was Kralkatorrik’s master plan all along; cut off supply lines from Elona so it’d cost more to upgrade cores into lodestones! Curse you to the Underworld, elder dragons!

I purchased 20 bottles of Elonian wine before realizing that the price had doubled and checking the forum. Any chance at a refund?

I also purchased about ~50 bottles for Lodestone conversions and I didn’t know it had double since I had never done it before. Will there be any kind of compensation or refund?

So you’re saying…. It’s a bad day to buy wine?

I bought 100 of these today while I was promoting cores and didn’t notice the price. Is there any way to be reimbursed or am I just out of the money?

Any chance we can get an update on this? Im sure quite a few people other than myself would like to upgrade cores to lodes so they can finish their legendary.

Can we get an update on this, please? I’d love an answer on whether or not those of us who purchased wine will receive a refund. I’m also quite surprised that there is no in-game notification to players to hold off purchasing Elonian wine, as it is still for sale at the bugged price. I don’t imagine most players are aware that this is even an issue. Thanks.

Really pretty disgraceful that this has not been fixed yet. There should at least be a warning if you are having trouble getting a fix out on this. As we speak people are losing their money and people are anxious to find out if they will even be refunded.

I’ve bought 40 bottles before realizing that my gold goes away faster then it should. I’ve lost significant amount of hard earned cash because of this. Can someone from dev team say if there will be refund or I just lost chunk of my money because of this error.

Just pust 12 silver the elonian wine during 2 days for compensation…
And as amhill says, how is this not fixed yet ?
Early after the release, you realized and item was sold with a very cheap value (by mistake) and you fixed it very quickly…
But when an item is expensive (by mistake) it takes several days.

We cannot believe you when you say it was not made on purpose…

Especially when it is required for so much material-making items. I can’t forge any lodestones for profit because of this. The timing of this with the patch that includes so much legendary/ascended/crafting/material stuff makes it very easy to put on a tinfoil hat.

It’s a single item’s cost. Put it in today’s small patch and be done with it.

Nah, that’s fine, I’m sure the SAB fixes are much faster/easier to implement than this. Forging infinite light is for chumps anyway.

I wonder how fast it would have been fixed if the price were cut in half instead of doubled.

You could count on that mistake never making it past QA. It’s funny how bugs like this get fixed instantly if it was half price, but it’ll turn out to be some impossible bug that’ll take forever to fix when nobody really wants it fixed. Apparently fixing SAB bugs takes precedence over tweaking a single value that screws up the crafting of an entire CATEGORY of endgame crafting materials. You know, the ones used for silly things like legendaries and rare, expensive skins. Stuff nobody cares about, really.

I also have 200 cores to up in lodestone and I am stuck because “You may want to hold off on buying Elonian Wine until this is fixed”.
Almost 3 days now, thanks.

Yeah, someone said that if the price would be halfed down you would fix it as fast as you can, im feeling the same way. Don’t get me wrong, I love this game, I love Anet but this, this is ridiculous, its only price, one of the most simple things to change. One merchant, one item.
Please, fix it, im sure many of us from GW2 uniwerse are suffering from this bug – we collected cores, dust and now when we finally got it we cannot make our weapon, we cannot progress in it – and dont say it, that we can buy it for 51s – I need 100 bottles, so 51 g compared to 25-6 its a huge difference.

But yeah, hope it’s fixed soon.

Yeah, I’ll get right on that. I need to flip 330 cores so that’s 165 laurels. It’s only about 4 months worth of doing your daily/monthly every time, right?

I don’t think they would give a refund for a bug like this unless the price you paid was not the same as the price being displayed on the vendor.
