So first the background, as i have not been posting (school exams is my excuse, but really i have lost interest (for the time being) in full on gold making).
Last month it seamed that many a shadowmourne was created, with the top horde guild deciding to sell the new shadowmorn items, as they have done with all raid required loot/titles/achivments/mounts. To "fund" their guild. Anyway at first prices were over the 100k mark per item, but soon fell, mainly because of 5k undercuts between the three people that had the new obtainable mount (http://www.wowhead.com/item=52200/reins-of-the-crimson-deathcharger). I decided to buy one when i saw the price flatten, i first thought i would use it but then decided to flip it and if that failed, just hold onto it, "mid cata" was my plan.

But two more items entered the mix, the Music box and Locket, i really had wanted the Music box from the moment of hearing of it. It reminded me of the first time i saw Sylvanas, her laying down herl ocket and it singing Lament of the Highborne.
If anything watch this video to understand:
So anyway I decided, that since i had an offer at the price i had bought it at, i would sell to then buy the Music box. I excitedly sent away the CoD and went to bed.

The next morning...

I lowered my head in shame, I had laughed before at those who had had this misforunte while sending things to myself. I instantly knew that there was nothing I could do and on wispering the fella that I had sold to, I found myself ignored. All i could do I relised, was open ticket, beliving that in the smallest of chances I could somehow get my money back, I might aswell try.

It took one day for my ticket to have the "soon" tag under it, but it lay unanswered. I deicded with the money I did have, I would spent it all on the Music Box. I spent 20k on it, and was very pleased.
Eight painful days of waiting later.

I for those that can't be bothered taking a link, here is the main part that i fell (in this case) under:
Virtual property lost due to user error
If we can verify that your loss of virtual property was the direct result of:
*Accidental deletion (characters, items, and in-game currency).
*Accidental sale to a vendor.
*Falling victim to a scam (please refer to our Scam Policy at us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20459 for further details on scams). Any other user error.
We will attempt to restore the virtual property.
We reserve the right to refuse restoration if we feel an excessive number of requests have been made in this particular category or if an undue amount of time has passed since the item or character was lost. We do not wish to encourage career victims, nor will we penalize players who legitimately make the occasional slip-up. Although we understand that the occasional mistake can be made, please be aware that restorations are limited, not guaranteed, and are at the sole discretion of Blizzard Entertainment
If your particular case fits any of the above criteria, you may be eligible to receive assistance with the recovery of your lost goods. Due to many variables with investigating these claims, your reimbursement, if approved, may not be immediate. Keep in mind that a player and the account registered to him/her will be permitted a limited number of instances in which the GM staff will assist with property recovery. While we can restore items with random modifiers (of the Bear, of the Eagle, etc.), we cannot guarantee that you will receive the same modifier you had on your original item. We are also unable to restore enchantments or add-ons that these items may have possessed.

There is more and I do suggest reading the rest, do note that this for me, counted as one of my resets:
I was scammed again! Can you help me?
While we will make every effort to assist players in need, we want players to learn from their mistakes and take measures to ensure the same mistakes are not repeated. In this way, we prevent players from becoming career victims and utilizing the GM Staff as a crutch or shield against scammers. To this end, players will only be allowed a certain number of item restorations, including those lost to scams and guild bank theft.

there is actually a 10k gold limitation on CoD payments, so the real mistake might have been to try and charge more than that
ReplyDeleteyou should even have gotten a warning while trying to send the mail
@asdf
ReplyDeleteHrm. That is interesting. I didn't know about the 10k COD limitation...
