SlateSloan.3654 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 wiki says if you salvage an ascended armor peace you get the insignia back, so i started to salvage just to realise while salvaging that no insignia found its way in my inventory... hurtfully it was a minstrel light armor half destroyed that way...

Was in some massive, hard fought battles in Auric Basin. Got to open my first Exalted chests. Eagerly went into my inventory to see what I received. Nothing there...the cupboard was bare. :( Luckily, before I filed the panicky bug report, I noticed that, yes, one of my bag tabs was closed. My new goodies were all safely tucked away in there, all laughing at me for being so silly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I accidentally did something I regretted, and ANet fixed it for me soon after. Not specifically for me, but a big game-changing update made it a happy accident instead of a sad one. I got a permanent bank contract from a BL chest and accidentally unpacked it. This happened 2 weeks before shared inventory slots were introduced. I didn't find it all that useful before, I play a lot of different characters and having to transfer the thing from character to character all the time was inconvenient. I regretted not selling it. And then the shared slots appeared in the gem store. Oh, glorious day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haleydawn.3764 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I don't remember any Anet interventions; Salvaging a precursor in my early days of playing 5yrs ago, because I didn’t know what it was. Jumping from a high point expecting to be able to glide, not seeing the glider disabled icon appear... or pre core Tyria enabled gliding. Selling something cheaply only to see it skyrocket in price days/weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashiva.6149 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Fortunately I've yet to need Anet intervention for my mistakes. One obnoxius thing I keep doing is expecting to use gliding or mounts when I am in the Home instance gathering nodes, or play in older story-instances, which leads me to take unnecessary fall damage a bunch of times. :p Brain, when will you learn!!

Dravis.7681 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I decided I wanted to try Marshal stats on my Weaver so I crafted 6 insignia's so I could swap the stats on my current set of ascended gear... Problem is, I crafted 6 Nadijeh's Marshal Insignia's (ascended) instead of 6 Insignia's of the Spearmarshal (exotic)... 18 damask patches... RIP.

Sariel V.7024 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Used a 100g recipe (Keeper's Staff?) on a character that couldn't make it. This was long before recipes went account-wide. I may have gotten a second one to replace it, expecting that to be the case forever :/ I didn't get intervention for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work, do you like just walk over there at lunch time with some dohnuts and be all, hey wanna hook me up, I made a boo boo, or do they actually make you fill out the same forum as us :p On another point, we should have way more storage than we do ;) maybe you could nudge someone about that...

Jenstone.6891 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Well, yeah. I still shake my head about this one. When GW2 was released, I played the pre release and then for about a month an a half. So, until about mid November or so. I was having trouble wrapping my mind around the game. But one thing I was sure about, the TP was evil and just a way for Anet to steal my gold.(face palm) Anywho, I walked away from the game due to work, I was traveling, off and on for about a year. I spent very little time home and hotel connections just suck. But on a rare occasion, in Mid March, I was home and decided to play for the weekend. I got a precursor drop, the sword. Woot right? Well, no. I was dirt poor, maybe a gold to my name at that point. I saw the thing that said, used in the crafting of a legendary weapon" and thought to myself, I am never going to do that (7 legendries later), so I sold it to the merchant because the TP was evil. I am not even sure I could have afforded the listing price. I forgot all about it until 2 years later when I got my second pre drop. I don't talk about it much and for all intense purposes I refer to my second drop as my first. Do'uh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, one of them is more neglected WRT AP, cosmetics, and stuff like that. Aaaaaaand sometimes I don't pay enough attention to which one I'm currently using. > > So one day last fall I decided to buy some gem store treats for my neglected account, to catch her up a little bit. I buy them, receive them, and spent like five minutes in utter confusion about the "You already have this unlocked" messaging before I realized "OH HEY check that out I am on the not-neglected, pretty-shiny account!" > > I gathered up my shame and went to find someone who could help. "So HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING if an employee account bought something in the gem store and she bought it on the wrong account how do we resolve that? Does that person submit a regular support ticket or do you have to deal with it differently? No reason, I'm just wondering." > > Gawd that was embarrassing. It's so nice to know we aren't the only ones doing dumb crap. Yesterday I made a toon and placed bags and 40 level boost on her along with other items. I jumped on another toon really quick to come back and seeing how short she was decided to remake her. Yes I forgot to empty the bags and items back into the bank. Hence my new ticket. As a chronic pain patient on many different medications that affect the memory, it's a wonder I haven't made more mistakes like that since I am a altaholic. On that note it would be great if someone went to delete a toon that all items and bags went back into the bank upon deletion. That would save a bunch of time for you guys. Another would be a option on accounts to go back before signing off and undestroy items. Yes many of us are flaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day you used to get 5 or 10 (can't remember) per laurel. That was short lived before nerf hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
