Blizzard complaint: Guild Bank missing items bug august/september 2024

New patch arrived in the online game World of Warcraft in end of August, early September 2024. Blizzard had this brilliant idea, to merge all of a players characters, from different servers, into one big lineup, where they now had a new sort of bank to share between them. Beside their own personal bank still) Those who were in guilds, soon found out, that if someone from a different server was in their guild, the guild banks would be bugged, and items in guild bank tabs, would just disappear. Some players even saw it happen in front of their eyes, as they opened the guild bank.

A lot of us have 7 tabs, many with full tabs, from years and years of playing this game.
I, myself, have a guildbank with 7 tabs affected by this problem, all 7 tabs are just empty, even though you can see in the logs, that items have been deposited, but not withdrawn.

Weeks should pass, before we even got something that could be taken as a somewhat wet sloppy apology. Most of us, have not accepted the apology, as it is years of work and a lot of ingame gold, in those tabs, just gone. Hours and hours of grinding for items, some of which is no longer available in the game and haven’t been for years.

Their final solution to the problem, well, that’s tough and they can see it is sad, but there’s nothing they can do about it. Whoops and btw, sorry.. It is people from all over the world who have been affected by it. NA servers, European servers. Asian servers.
Both the US and EU forums for blizzard is full of people being frustrated over this. Even more so, that nothing was done to compensate us. They just keep implementing things into the game, bugs are no longer being fixed as it was, back before when it was just a Blizzard company.

The game started feeling worse when Blizzard merged with Activision, but it was still a good game.
It got really bad when Microsoft merged in on it as well. Now it is just all about making money to whoever sits high up. They no longer care about their players. Every now and then, a sob story comes out, about a player who died in real life, and how we all miss that person. It has nothing to do with the game company itself, it is the community who cares for other players. Cause the company couldn’t care less, even if they tried. They have just shown us that.
Short after this guild bank bug came out, they released a very expensive mount, you could buy for 90USD or 78EURO.
A lot of us bought it, all while we clinged on to the hope, that they are fixing and restoring our guild bank items, cause that’s what they used to do, before when things went missing. It just went like a snap with a finger, and you had items in your mailbox.

But not this time.
They took our money and kicked us in the face. We got nothing back.
If you get to read some of all the things people have gotten restored, you’ll shake your head in disbelief. You’d think we are lying.

We are not interested in getting anything else but what we already had. Nothing more, nothing less. We just want to be treated like valued customers, gamers. A lot of us have been playing this game since 2004/2005 when it came out, depending on where you are situated in the world. A lot of us grew up in this game, made friendships and met spouses in this virtual world, created families and are now seeing our own kids grow up and are now also playing this game, with their friends. Seeing them make friends, worldwide. Seeing them meet a cute girl or boy on another part of the world, travelling to met up with them.

I’m trying out this, because I am not sure where to go, but it really can’t be, that we will not be compensated in any way, shape or form, for our missing ingame items, that Blizzard have actually taken from us.
