I was working on the level 59 Vigil quest "Retribution. After I successfully claimed my reward, leveled, put on my new top, raised one of my traits, used the reward for giving 400 influence to the guild, and queued up Research Architecture Level 2, I left the instance.
At that moment, the login servers went down and I was kicked out of the game for approximately an hour. When the servers came back up, I logged in. My quest progress was not saved, my new breastplate was gone, BUT I was still leveled up, my trait point was still applied, and my guild queue was still ticking away. The 400 influence I had applied was still there.
Can my quest progress be moved forward and my breastplate given back? If I re-do the quest, I will be given another influence tome, giving my guild another 400 influence, and I will get more exp (leveling up again, even though I already leveled doing the quest once). Just seems like cheating…
