I feel your pain, but please consider the logistics of what you’re asking Anet to do.
How do they determine who was disconnected and who wasn’t? Should they just take everyone’s word for it who gets on the forums and complains about it? That’s certainly not a definitive way to do it. Do their logs have a way of reflecting disconnects? Possibly, but I’m going to say they probably don’t.
How do they give the rewards, if they can figure out who deserves them? Do they mail it? That’s likely not as easy as it sounds, because I doubt they’ve made a system for running the loot tables and mailing it. Do they spawn a chest only certain people can see, wherever they are? That could be possible. Maybe.
Furthermore, should Anet really make a habit of giving free things to people that just get unlucky? Don’t get me wrong, Anet isn’t completely off the hook for what happened to you guys, but let’s face it, accidents happen, and Anet can’t go around fixing every little accident that happens for the rest of the game’s lifespan. And if they start now, that’s what they’ll have to do.
Again, I’m not trying to be offensive or insensitive to any of you unfortunate souls. I know it sucks, but before you get your expectations up, I can tell you right now, what you’re asking for is not nearly as simple as you think it is.
I agree with your post. I was one of those people that was disconnected due to lag and missed out on the final boss fight and loot. The best thing we can do is explain everything that happened so the next time ANet does a “one-time” event, they can make sure it doesn’t happen again. Provide feedback here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lostshores/Event-Feedback-merged-threads/first, even if you are PO’d.
I hope Anet does something about this; spending over 2 hours grinding through reinforcements just to be d/c’d at the end and missing out on the reward. Compensation for server lag/ crashes is very unlikely and I doubt there will even be an acknowledgment that there was an issue. What a disappointment and waste of time. Congrats to all those that were able to complete it and get stuff, though.
The same thing happened to me and I missed out on the final rewards. The only thing that kept me going through the grind that was fighting the reinforcements was the gear reward at the end. I am not very impressed with how that went.
The same happened to me…the lag was so bad I got d/c’d right before the end and was sent to an overflow where the even was completed. What a waste of over 2 hours. Sure glad I’m not paying a monthly subscription for this BS…
