So as I was leveling yet another noob I went to our guild bank to get some low level matts for her professions and saw the dreaded... nothing but junk left on all 5 tabs. Not a huge problem since we have more junk than anything of great value. (well, I consider the top tier enchants of value but the hacker didn't - weird)

I checked the logs and found that my nephews friends toon was the one who had removed everything. I called him up, he called his friend etc. etc. and I opened a ticket to report his account compromised.

About 2 hours later I get a full restore in my mailbox. Wow, that was fast. (I already demoted his toons etc.) I place it all in the guild bank.

Next day more stuff is in my mailbox. "Oh my mailbox must have been full and this is the rest" so I start putting stuff back in the guild bank when I get to the second item which is 300 or so volatile life.... but we already had 300 volatile life restored and I KNOW we didn't have 600. I then realize that they accidentally restored by guild bank twice. I open a ticket and tell what has happened and state that I did mix some of the stuff into the guild bank already before I realized that they were duplicates. The GM says he will delete everything for me.

He deletes the stuff from my mailbox but never from the guild bank. Also, he missed a mail in my mailbox that has our cata gems... the duplicates...

At this point I just say, screw it and put it back in the guild bank with everything else. I tried. I really tried to be honest... but if this sort of thing happens often then no wonder the economy of Wow is so bad. Very Very sloppy work by 2 gms.

It was a good story until you whined about how they made a mistake while helping you restore all of your stuff.

The reason they didn't go through all of the logs and find out every little thing that they duplicated.. because it doesnt matter.. it was some crappy pixels in a video game.

Yes, its the GMs fault the economy in WoW sucks.

Yeah, how dare they fix the problem (and fix it fast), caused by the porn habits of your little nephew.

I'm sure these guild bank restore incidents are the main contributor to in-game inflation

*rolleyes*

It's amazing how many replies in this thread show that the posters lack reading comprehension skills.

And everyone calls me the problem troll.


I am curious if your nephew's friend's account was indeed hacked or he actually stole the stuff.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
