Guild Wars 2

[part 1]

my tale begins here….or yesterday lol

yesterday i was commanding a group of around 15-25 people( my commanders name is " The Prince Of Chaos"). it was after the asian guilds on my server of dragon brand had taken the entire map on yaks bend borderland. our mission during that time was to simply watch the map and keep our dominance and key locations secure. we got in many battles with yaks bend and sos, and got much loot. we even had to take back BAY from the yaks…….

anyway today early in the morning, the day after i commanded. i was salvaging the blues and greens from my bags (because they are crap to me . as they are to most level 80 exotic players), and….do you know how when u salvage a green that you will instinctively click accept when it asks you if you are sure? well anyway i was in a trance and raw instinct like state were i would just click anything that was in my 2 15 slot winters day bags and salvage it.( i do this because i know that i will almost always get crap….i do sometimes check my bags…but sadly i was lazy this one horrific day. today i would not really look at the name and just salvage it…………)

i did not know i had dusk…..or at least until it was too late…

for you see after the 2nd or 3rd item i salvaged with a journeyman’s salvage kit. i hit to salvage dusk!!!…by accident of course.(not knowing it was dusk or even a exotic) and click accept as i always do instinctively with green items. you see dusk does not have a unique item picture, and instead has one of the most common ones…thus…..i would not notice i had it just from looking at my bags like i would with dawn.

during the time spanning less than a second between my clicking the item with the salvage kit and hitting accept. i saw as if as a slow motion horror scene…DUSK!!!!!!!!!…..in vibrant orange color………but…….sadly…

it was salvaged before i could stop my instinctive self……………………….

the first 10 seconds after salvaging it “I was in shock”…….“i could not move i could not breathe”……..i at first thought that maybe it was not dusk and instead another item and my mind was playing tricks on me….but i could still absolutely remember as if a screen shot burned in to my brain the word in bright orange “DUSK”………….

i even checked my inventory to see wut i got from salvaging it to somehow give me a confirmation to avert my fear……i got 2 globs of ectoplasm….confirming that it was a exotic because i used a journymans salvage kit, and a journymans salvage kit can only get globs of ecto from a exotic item that is at least 70…..this left me worried but not completely sure….
then as if a monster from a nightmare had jumped from my computer terminal….i saw a superior sigil of rage………..the sigil that comes with dusk……is…….a….superior……sigil…..of…..rage!!!!!!!
(continued in part 2)

[part 2]

at that moment my fears were confirmed…i the Commander “The Prince Of Chaos” had salvaged a dusk……

i instantly clicked my push to talk button on my computer to transmit my voice through team speak 3 to the rest of my guild that was in the same Chanel as me ( around 5-10 people), and interrupting there conversation which i had not even entered yet by yelling the F word for as long and as loud as i could!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…..all my guildies were stunned and there conversation silenced with that 1 word that i spoke with such passion and feeling…..a few moments later one of my guildies said " wuts wrong?“…
after a few seconds i said the words so quietly..”i" …“salvaged”……“DUSK”……
i at first thought that that i had said the words to softly for them to here me. but i was wrong as after a few seconds 4 voices started saying words of unbelievability "OMG. NO WAY, WAIT WUT?, ARE U JOKING?.

after a few minutes of explaining the same thing to my guild that i have explained to you they finally said “wut are u going to do?”…i responded a few moments after “i dont know. i know that this is just a game. so i am not going to loose my mind about this. but ultimately i don’t think that i can do anything.” one of my guildies and a close friend said “well you can put up a ticket explaining the situation in support”. seeing as i had nothing to lose i went ahead with his advice.

but even so fresh thoughts in my head were still more than alive

i had lost a dusk at the same moment that i had attained it…

you may be wondering the reason why i am telling you this…..the reason i am telling you this is the same reason why i shouldn’t not tell you this.
no that is not a joke.
why would i not tell you this?

i know that i most likely will not get back my dusk. that is how arena net operates with these kind of things, and in fact i like them for that “its the players fault” attitude.
, and really this was my fault. i take full responsibility and know that the blame cannot be set on anyone else. so i know that i may not get my dusk back, and i really don’t care that much. i mean this wont be the last mmo i play. eventually all the items in here will be worthless to me…though the memory’s good or bad will always stay

i do not know if arena net tracks wut drops for people. or if they keep track of wut thay salvage…probably not because that amount of information would be insane.

however they can track my trading post buys and sells. as well as my inventory in my bank and bags. knowing this how many weapons could have droped for me that would give superior sigil of rage?…….as it turns out..alot lol…so i guess im out of luck for proving that i did get dusk there as well XD

anyway i hope that you got a kick out of my story. i know that some of you will laugh at my mistake(i know i did after the shock wore off lol)
and i know that some will sympathize for me. which i ask for you to not. after all its just a game.

anyway thanks for reading my story all the way to the end. good by

Just out of curiosity, where do you think this dropped from? And sorry for your loss….

i believe that it dropped from wvw. though i did do a citedel of flame path 1 farm earlier the day i salveged the dusk. though i was very sure i salvaged everything from that run. but it may have been from cof

I think it should have a unique skin once in your inventory to signal to players “Hey, you got something rare here!” As well as the other precursors. To have them disguised as other common blues or whites is just kind of cruel.

i thought this too

i would not have salvaged it if i saw something other than the crap greatsword pic

They need to add double confirmation for precursors and legendaries, like “OMG you really, really want to do this?” or smthng ;D

Seveleniumus.5973:

i completely agree. really the fact that we only have 1 confirmation on those thing that really for whatever reason besides just absolute madness should not be salvaged.

because the only other reason that a precursor or a legendary would be salvaged is by accident as it happened to me
