Anet are now sending out mails (with glitched characters, but that’s besides the point :P) containing BL kits to those people who used them during the glitch. I, myself, got 1 kit back as I assume I used one kit during the glitch.
The problem isn’t the kit however, Anet, it’s the 65-80 gold in ectos I lost. The gesture is nice, and very much appreciated, but does the fact you can trace who used what salvage kit indicate you can also see who salvaged what within a certain time-frame?
An official reply would be appreciated,
Kind regards.
And again thanks for the BL kit, it’s already a nice gesture, though not exactly what I was hoping for…
An Anet official still hasn’t reply, so I would like to kindly ask again: Can people expect a compensation of any sort?
With my limited knowledge of game code and logs and the such, I understand salvaging items is probably a pretty complicated process (Item ID’s get removed and created I gues), but perhaps there are logs of some sort, I don’t know. I know there are TP logs which could indicate how much rares an individual bought, I just don’t know how far back they go in your database.
As I said in my previous post, I’ve lost a substantial amount of money which would take me several weeks to get back. (I’m not good at flipping or other TP tricks which scale with the amount of gold you have) Converted to gems/real world money, I lost about 30 dollars which is like 3 quarters of the price of a new game…
Would be cool to hear an official reply regarding this.
I’m not too bothered about the kits. It does suck for the people who used BL Kits and I’ll obviously support them getting compensated aswell, but for me personally I used Master Kits so I didn’t really lose anything there. (Like 65 copper per salvage, but I still get the achievementpoints aswell as the other salvage items)
For those of us who just spend a whole month farming about 200 Gold together who invested a large portion of that money into buying rares to salvage as a way to make a bit of overnight profit who did calculations based on the 0.9 salvage rate per rare , who salvaged several hundreds of rares on the day this glitch got introduced into the game and lost a large amount of money because of this, can we expect a compensation of any sort?
I don’t want to sound like a jerk, but I do feel a bit jerked here because I really “worked” hard for that gold, even if we’re talking about a videogame here (And if anyone, Anet should be able to understand the emptyness in farming). I invested about 90% of the cash (It was less than 200 gold though) I had into buying loads of rares overnight to salvage them the next day. I didn’t exactly count how much I salvaged sinced the patch (I only calculate profit margins, not quantities), but I gues it would be anywhere between 500 and 800 rares the past 2-3 days.
I know I salvaged about 100 rares on the night of the update and then about 500 the first day. It was only after these initial rares I came to the conclusion something was fishy as I stopped “checking” to see wether or not I was getting enough ectos. I’ve been doing this for over a week now and the 0.9 ecto per salvage always seemed to come through, so I had no reason to ever think the game could screw me over. I salvaged a couple more today from random events aswell as buy orders which still weren’t fulfilled and I forgot to take off.
Doing safe calculations (I prefer to know the numbers) I lost anywhere between 300 and 400 ectos, potentially more depending on when the glitch exactly got introduced. That’s a 65-80 gold loss, or 2100-2700 gems (I don’t have enough money left to even check 80 gold in gems :P), or about 26-33 dollar, a more graspable number.
It feels really frustration to know I lost 30 dollar due to a stupid glitch, and I was wondering if any form of compensation would be possible?
Kind regards.
