Really inclined to say you need to remove the option to buy them from the merchants. I too have bought one last night (yes, without checking the bug list – why ever would I think I needed to?) and now have 5 days worth of ‘work’ (I use the term lightly) effectively rendered useless for the time being- I really could have used those same five laurels on some tier 5 crafting bags but thought I’d treat myself instead!
Pretty disappointed to be honest – although of course not as much as those from before the temporary “fix”.
Could we have a little information as to a rough ETA on this? It’s been down for a week now, with no official correspondence on the matter for 6 days. Just to be kept in the know (as best you can) would go far to elevating some of the annoyance a lot of us are feeling, I’m sure. After all – a bug is a bug, a mistake – nothing more. There’s nout to be done but wait. It would just be nice to know how long we had to wait for.
Many thanks. K
