Guild Wars 2

Hey, so i’m an old beta player and I want to take you back to the time the AP chests where released. I’m not sure if this was a bug at that time so I completely ignored it until now but when I opened the chests it seemed to swallow up my AP points. Now at the time I remember having about 23k points but my memory might be jaggered (I might have had more?). I just want to know if anyone else had this issue or even if it is? and perhaps return what was taken from me? because My friends make fun of me that I now only have 6k AP and Its quite embarrassing XD

more explained
Basically as I opened a chest it would take away from my 23k points making me not able to afford any other chests. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Achievement_rewards
you can see each chest adds up leaving me with hardly any points left…. but then I soon learned that AP does not work like currency, it should not be taken away as you open chests. I’m wanting to know if I was invloved in some bug?

if i’m wrong on any of these points to tell me as im as confused as any player would be
>.< my curiosity is taking over

I pray that someone can help me thank you for reading!

Well, they took a lot of points away a long, long time ago. If you haven’t played in a long time, that may be why your points are lower than you remember….

If it is something else, you can contact the CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Submit a Request’ for assistance.

Good luck.

There was an issue with GWAMM title being awarded accidentally which gave a lot of points. It has since been adjusted to people that were accidentally awarded that title and with it a lot of points and possible AP chests.

GWAMM only adds around 550 AP,

The only other AP that was removed was the original dungeon runner AP, it was capped along time ago, I know a few people who lost upwards of 4k AP, but the vast amount that you are talking about is years worth of AP,

I would contact support and ask them.

Also side note, opening the AP chests does not remove the AP from your account, so your account is either bugged, or you have gotten the AP numbers vastly mixed up.

They also removed AP gained from the salvaging achievements, long ago. Some players had 25,000 APs from salvaging, and those were later removed.

That’s what I’m worried about XD thank you everyone for responding and I’ll try my best to figure this one out! It was defiantly my AP that kept being taken as I opened the chests. It wasn’t just one day I opened my AP Tab and they disappeared; I watched them be taken as I literally opened the chest which was kinda odd :P

How long ago did you start taking a break? 23000 is an awful lot of AP. Just curious.

I have not taken a brake at all! just remembered this little hiccup moment that has always been on my mind >.< back then I wasn’t a crazy player…. so I never really bothered to jump to high conclusions or have the motivation to seek for answers I just played as if nothing was wrong. But now 4-3 years later im kinda sad that I only have 6k AP to show… I just hope Anet can find some old data or something to see if I was right or if im just going crazy.

The only way to have something like 23,000 AP back 3 or 4 years ago was with the Salvaging APs or something similar. Those were removed long ago. Even very dedicated players have, at most, around 29,000 AP now.

As noted above, you can go through your achievements or use the API and see what you feel you are entitled to.

You can also submit a ticket, as suggested, to the CS Team.

Good luck.
