Refusal to Reimburse ROTWF

[Letch20100]

Last week, I successfully MQ'ed a Robe of the Whistling Fists. I took all the precautions to make sure it was successful. I thought I didn't get the ROTWF and handed it back in by mistake, leading to my item being eaten.

I was denied reimbursement last night, because Sirken said "we do not support multi questing". I am certainly in the wrong for not checking the robe or equipping it. How annoying that it was written off as just another failed MQ when people are reimbursed for turn-ins to the wrong NPCs all the time.

Life is so hard on blue, I don't know how you cope OP.

I'm sure posting this will turn around such a great injustice... is there anything you'd personally like to say to Sirken and the staff? Let it out...the community is here for you.

[jolanar]

Inb4 they are just volunteers and we are all entitled pricks.

OP same thing has happened to me before, and despite finding plenty of evidence of past forum posts of having items reimbursed for selling to vendors or giving to wrong quest mob, they told me I was shit out of luck and that if I didn't like it then P99 wasn't for me basically.

[Swish]

Remember to ask for a subscription refund before you go.

[Droxx]

Mobs eating items that you shouldn't hand them is classic.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did. I scoured forums for other reimbursements and thought it wouldn't be a problem. It's kind of ridiculous when camping the items takes over 30 hours of active gameplay. Anyway, thankfully I got a second raster idol in Guk awhile ago, so I'm a Brother Z turn-in away from having RotLC again.

I just don't understand the reasoning behind not giving me the robe back. It was not due to an MQ error. What I did was equivalent to handing in quest items to the wrong NPC, yet they didn't help me out for making a mistake because it was related to an MQ.

[Swish]

Spare a thought for a very long line of necros wanting to complete their epics.

[Pokesan]

You didn't lose it due to MQ. This seems pretty clear cut. Did Sirk not read the petition fully?

You should try losing your entire Druid epic because someone turned in the other half of the epic and left it. GMs refused to show logs or proof of what happened.

That's what I'm thinking, but who knows... I thought it was initially due to a botched MQ, which is how I phrased my post.

Maybe he didn't read into it, but I just want him to acknowledge that it wasn't due to an MQ error. If he still doesn't want to reimburse me, then by all means, that's his right.

[Llandris]

So you thought creating this thread in server chat was the best route to go?

[Swish]

its a risky strategy Llandris, lets see how it plays out for him

Apparently you didn't take precautions. Can't take 5 seconds to right click the item before handing it in?

Also, why do 2 separate trades on your side if you had the items?

[Letch20100]

So you thought creating this thread in server chat was the best route to go?

The decision has been made and it is HIGHLY unlikely that Sirken will reconsider. This thread is for information purposes only for anyone that messes up a turn-in.

I'll be extra careful to avoid any interactions of this sort with the server staff from here on out.

[silo32]

ready to get rustled?

on red99 they do reimburse for mq's

there was an instance involving nirgon and colgate and 3 wizards

nirgon and colgate mq'd the cazic skin and a staff from VS for a wizard epic

2/3 wizards handed in here staves to the correct npc

one of the wizards gave all his items to a MERCHANT!

2/3 of the wizards got there epic that day

1 had colgate and nirgon petition quest on the forums till they REIMBURSED ANOTHER CAZIC SKIN.... and the staves to the wizard who goofed

that skin was used later in the future to piggy back multiple wizard epics

only on red... true story if I were you I would be upset

rules are not stone they are case by case and your case is dismissed

have a nice day

Nice one guys, now he's upset...all he wanted was his epic item, sheesh.

[Emphase]

seems like a pretty dumb mistake, why would you turn in the robe after you just got it

[captnamazing]

Sorry to hear you fucked up OP. Don't expect consistency from the staff. This should have been posted in RNF.

[iruinedyourday]

Sorry OP got a mage with a druid epic in the bank so go cry me a river about your MQ struggles.

[Oleris]

why I bought looting rights to the pipes.

[Swish]

Don't expect consistency from the staff.

Yikes, didn't expect that from captn storytime.

I support the P99 staff 100%, as a community I suggest we all give them a pat on the back every so often and remind them that snide comments like above, as well as having to deal with the entitled and dirty players...is appreciated by us all.

Here's to those who give up their time to help us enjoy an immersive gaming experience...cheers!

[Letch20100]

Don't worry guys. I got RotWF through a successful MQ on Saturday and I didn't make the same mistake twice. I appreciate the staff taking the time to look into my situation, but fuck the no CSR support for MQs. That's just horse shit. Especially when my issue wasn't even a failed MQ, but an honest mistake.

Hope I never have to rely on server staff for anything related to a bug or another mistake of this sort again.

[Merekai]

Your issue took place while you were MQing someone an item, so yeah it falls under the sorry we don't help people with MQ's gone awry. Not their fault you couldn't figure out what was going on. I have had items returned to me, but never in a MQ situation. Sorry you don't agree with the policy but you need to suck it up and quit bitching. CSR is here on a volunteer basis.

[Pokesan]

it's pretty great how everyone on these forums wants to shit all over anyone with a complaint, no matter how legitimate

pras sad degenerates!

[Monty405]

In b4 "Lol, wouldn't happen on Red99"...

Damn, I am too late.

[Eldini]

I know it's not classic and all but still just wanna throw this out there: REMOVE MQ'S BAN SCRUBS PRAS ROGEAN

[Ella`Ella]

So you thought creating this thread in server chat was the best route to go?

In fairness, Llandris - GM's have been responding to posts about shit like this in RnF way faster than they have been on the corresponding posts in Petition forum lately.

Really shouldn't be setting an example of giving people that make threads like this here any significant attention and green forum name = significant attention, whether it results favorably for the OP or not.

[Haynar]

You give an item to wrong npc, then u petition that you gave it to wrong npc and u will likely be reimbursed.

You petition that u messed up a MQ, u will not be reimbursed.

In this case it would be semantics. But you said it was a failed MQ, so you put yourself into the category of it will probably not even get looked at. And likely u wont get reimbursed.

Policy, is no help on failed MQs. Choose ur wording wisely when you petition.
