To those wondering. Yes, his account was actually hacked. FYI they check that by seeing if an IP address outside of the country (for example) accessed the account and other various undisclosed ways of verifying that an account is hacked vs. someone just making it look that way.
The reason why this situation bothers me, and even more so now that others have also said that they receive twice as much as they lost, is the game integrity is gone now. It shouldn't be more lucrative to have a guldie hacked than to go farm matts etc. Also, if it is just sloppiness on Blizzards end than that is usually an indication of how a company conducts business.
Also, lol at the trolls. At least I hope they are just trollin'... otherwise... wow.
edit: It also makes me now believe the karatechop story from a while back. I always thought something else was going on there.

Nahh, there is no integrity lost...
Those items would have hit the scene anyway, whether through the AH, or being "sold" to players....
Look at it like this....The guy that hacked the account, used it to mule ...and lost control of it after muling some items...
to your benefit.
If you feel that guilty about it, delete all of the extras.

Integrity of the economy? Considering all the farmers, I doubt a few stacks of extra stuff is going to really throw things off balance.
This is one of those times where I'd say "it's just virtual stuff." It would bother me a lot more if Blizzard didn't restore items, or gave people a hard time about it. Just take the items as payment for your troubles.

Sloppy work is unprofessional.
Why is it so hard to accept that someone has that point of view even if it "benefits" them?

It's amazing how many replies in this thread show that the posters lack reading comprehension skills.
Just because some people decided to comment on a certain aspect of the post doesnt mean that the rest of the info was lost. Are we not allowed to comment on individual points of a post anymore or something?
You just proved my point.
Please elaborate, how our assessment that the OP is an ungrateful twit, is incorrect?
Dont bother.. Just nod and agree.

The same way it is so hard that the some have a different point of view?

It is called outsourcing. They are not very bright and have high turnover. Probably two people both worked the same ticket and did no homework first.
You, and many people, put way too much emphasis on "integrity" and "economy" in a video game. THEY ARE JUST PIXELS FFS!!!!

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

Now it's official, the WoW community really can find a way to whine about anything.
