Elonian Wine - Known Issue
Yeah, there were refounds for karma, even though there was short notice on it. On this there was not… I bet lots of people don’t even read the forums and didn’t know this price is a bug, so they just cursed the devs and paid higher price.
because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure.”
So the Update seems to be overshot by a tiny bit.
IIRC the cost for the Elonian Wine pre the Doublecost-Bug was 25s60c.
BUUUT now its price is 25s04c !
So right now, I’m so darn anxious about buying the Wines because I fear my acc being banned
Can any Dev (possibly Gaile Gray?) confirm whether 25s04c is now the official new cost or not??
I’m really scared to do the wrong thing right now. O.O

I just wanna say, thanks Anet, good job;) Yesterday, I finished my Foefire
Revenge – im not dev, but i doubt you would be banned for it. I, for example, didnt know that it costed 25.60, when i was counting mats for my sword I counted it as 26s. Its only 56c per wine, nothing to make an impact..

Well thank you for your reply
I know that it’s a small amount (need 94 Wines == 52s64c “savings”), and I guess I will buy them today.
But I want to point out, that I posted here and if that is considered an exploit, then Anet themselves might consider to clarify the price changing in the patch notes, e.g. “We changed the cost for Elonian Wine to 25s04c” so that everyone knows what the real price should be!
I really don’t want my acc to be banned, yet waiting for my legendary hurts x(
Just think of it as you are buying wine from the 2 vintners around Queensdale (despite the name being Elonian Wine). Grown and produced at Eldvin Monastery, and Victoria’s Vineyard.
One is better quality, so you drink it first. The other is pretty nasty tasting, but cheaper, so you drink this once you’re hammered!
So currently the nasty stuff is back in Miyani’s wares.

Oddly fitting user name
So I guess no gold being returned to the players that bought it at double the price?
Hey all,

Good guy Gaile. Thought arenanet threw this problem away once they patched it.

Annnndddd…. These replacements are now done!
Anyone who purchased Elonian Wine in the cited period — when the price was unintentionally high due to a bug — has been refunded the difference in the cost of the wine. Please check your in-game mail for your refund, and remember, if you don’t see it, remove some of your mails (with the envelope icon) and pending mails will drop down into your mailbox.
Thanks again for waiting patiently for this distribution. Now, don’t spend all those coins in one place.

I wanted to bump this thread in case players had question about getting in-game coins from Customer Support.
