The boy got his account back. He got me to log into his account for him, and I lodged tickets for his gear, gold and bank that was missing. So far, he has got all his gold back, all his main spec and offspec gear back and a good chunk of what was in the bank.

His priest was deleted (low level, but he was leveling with me), and we are waiting on that. His rogue is getting the 7-9 days treatment with it's stuff, so hopefully he gets that back too. I made him a new email on my domain, and we changed it all and his passwords AND he's getting an authenticator.

Did you make a ticket on each character or just one?

jmrz · « **Reply #2203 on:** 31 May 2010, 04:19 »

On each of them, just to be sure.

Finally got my authenticator in the mail, so I'll be reinstalling the game tonight and hopefully will start playing again tomorrow. I think I may just avoid addons for the time being and only group up with people I know, since I still don't know how I was hacked.

How long did it take you guys to get your stuff back? I didn't have any characters transfered/recustomized and I'm still getting the 7-9 days treatment.

Alex C · « **Reply #2206 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 19:36 »

Pretty certain that it's the volume of hacks that are going on at any given time that complicates things, with the nature of it being a relatively minor issue.

Lines · « **Reply #2207 on:** 01 Jun 2010, 20:17 »

It took a week, but as soon as it happens, they'll send you an email with all the things you're getting back. None of my characters lost any of the gear they were wearing or any talents and also none of them were deleted, either, so I'd just say wait it out.

I was hacked on the 23rd and as yet have not had my restoration completed. Hopefully tomorrow or the day after I guess.

Oh well, been leveling my hunter. It's funnish!

Took me about an hour, but I got everything Blizzard returned out of my mailbox and promptly put up over 1000ea of Lichbloom and Icethorn on the AH. (I kept some. And 80 frost lotuses. And some other herbs.

) And I was selling them for super cheap, so most were sold before I logged off. So huzzah. Tomorrow I'm going to buy signatures so I can get my guild rolling and set up a bank and whatnot, seeing as how I can afford to do it myself.

Also the corepuppy is so cuuuute! He rolls around, chews a bone, and stands up like this!

I am struggling to connect to wows at home for some reason so I been raiding at LAN :/

Got like 3 good DPS pieces (one is a ilv 277chest) for my offspec and a BiS neck for tanking. Quite chuffed, they cost very little dkp.

Alex C · « **Reply #2215 on:** 04 Jun 2010, 13:34 »

We use EPGP

I hate it and I hate my guild. For one thing, we have it set up so that there's minimal repercussions for not bothering to show up since the cost of acquiring gear vastly outpaces any other consideration. I haven't missed a raid since mid 2009, but I've lost out on 4 items in the last 3 weeks to people who miss at least a raid night a week. We disenchant shit left and right and since rogues have no "offspec," we have this lovely situation in which we disenchant all daggers and stuff rather than just let people use 'em for pvp. Which, you know, wouldn't really bother me, except we have a cat druid that rolls on unwanted items (often only unwanted because people won't pay for anything that's not BIS at this point) for his bear "offspec," gets the items for free and then actually equips this shit and uses it while in cat spec. He literally never bids on things unless someone else bids on it first. He's an officer though, so nobody will do anything about it and he's always above me on EPGP because of it. Meanwhile, I'm still somehow expected to pay EPGP for a pair of Heaven's Fall daggers that I'd never use outside of weekend BG trolling, since I run with 2 combat specs for raid nights. Again, it wouldn't bother me at all if we didn't have people openly abusing the system in other ways.

I should probably just server transfer, but I doubt anyone's really interested in a pure DPSer who's merely just the cream of the crop on one of the worst 2 or 3 servers in WoW. Oh well, I'll always have my server first Mimiron's head.

Dazed · « **Reply #2216 on:** 04 Jun 2010, 20:30 »

DKP is amongst the many many many reasons 25 man raiding is awful.

Also yeah I got my stuff back almost immediately after that last post, including some stuff I vendored ages ago. Waiting to see if I can hopefully get my PRs restored on my teams still.

I seriously never realized how much shit I acquired over the year's. Getting my original Zandalar Peacekeeper's chestpiece in the mail was a bit of a whoa moment. I still have almost all of my BWL/AQ40/20 gear, which makes me happy.

Lines · « **Reply #2217 on:** 04 Jun 2010, 20:54 »

I've been a primary raider, but never been an officer in a guild. Now I'm running one. Oh shit. It's made up of purely friends at the moment, but down the line I'd like to get more people, so hopefully I get the hang of this. But we've got a bank, so hey! Now it just needs stuff in it.

Lines · « **Reply #2218 on:** 05 Jun 2010, 11:24 »

...And some dude I bought a signature from that I didn't immediately boot because he seemed so enthusiastic ran off with the few low level items I put in the tab 1 of the bank. Luckily I had the sense to deny gold withdraw for his rank and blocked his access to the other tab, which had things of actual value in it. So he got 20g and an oddball collection of stones and cloth, none of which were full stacks or are things that will sell for any decent amount.

I don't know why I bother with people I don't know in real life with this game. Most of them are douchebags.

But then again his name was Nigbeater. I should have just ignored him in the first place.

Fucking love epgp when guilds follow the rules and use preset values of the addon and not some fucking "x=slot" rule.

dkp is shit since I still had to use dkp for OS shit I never even wanted, oh well suppose is better than a kick in the testicles.

Just ran Occulus. Now I know why nobody ever wanted to run it. Also it didn't give me a bag at the end!

Dazed · « **Reply #2221 on:** 05 Jun 2010, 21:36 »

You have to loot ze bag from the chest.

And Oculus is ok if you're with a competent group, it's just annoying mounting and unmounting the dragons constantly.

Yeah, I think the bottom line here is that with enough determination, people can shit up any system.

My least favorite part of oculus is how every time you mount/remount your focus gets cleared. I like to use my focus for lazy mode tricks of the trade in 5 mans. I mean, it's obviously not hard to select a focus, but it still hits me as a pinch silly have to keep choosing again every time we dismount.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2223 on:** 06 Jun 2010, 06:10 »

The red and greens are the most fun drakes to use, the yellows just bore me. But then again you can just get a healer to stand on the platform with the chest and roll hots on the drakes, works pretty well too. You also only get the bag if you do a speed run which most runs are these days, just funny how you can solo the fight as a greem drake but it takes like 1000 years, a bit like malygos when the rest of your raid wipes at ~15% and it's just you and a healer to 12% then the healer dies and you solo the last 12% and then everyone wants to suck your dick and have your babies and stuff then they give you the tanking shield for your collection even thought you have better and someone wants it for their offspec but nobody cares because you seem like the most awesome person EU.

There was no bag in the chest for me! Everyone else got one! I don't know why I didn't get one.

axerton · « **Reply #2225 on:** 06 Jun 2010, 09:15 »

Did you wait till after everyone had de zoned- that happened to me, apparently if you're not in the group that finished it, theres no way of the game knowing you did it with the dungeon finder, so no bag. I opened a ticket about it and was sent a bag a few days later - had a drake in it too.

man its been ages since I've played, or even felt like playing, wow but I still check this thread for some reason.

Lines · « **Reply #2226 on:** 06 Jun 2010, 11:32 »

Two people had ditched the party before I could open the chest, so maybe that's it. Whatever. They all seemed to get twilight opals and gold.

Wait for your first random DC on progress and the ETERNITY those extra 3 seconds add to getting back in to find yourself 2% away from being overtaken on threat after having been healed while white hitting a dragon in the face.

Alex C · « **Reply #2229 on:** 06 Jun 2010, 18:32 »

The worst is when you get DC'd during a farm fight that requires taunt or interrupt rotations to drop or avoid debuffs like General Vezax's Searing Bullshit or Gormok's Impale. The fact that it's such an otherwise easy to handle situation just adds insult to injury if it ends up resulting in a wipe.

Cire27 · « **Reply #2230 on:** 08 Jun 2010, 02:36 »

Blizzard haven't returned anything to me or the guild but they find it okay to email me saying I only have four days left before my subscription runs out.

Lines · « **Reply #2231 on:** 08 Jun 2010, 12:25 »

How long has it been? And did you open a ticket or call anyone? Sometimes you don't get things back, because a former guildmate didn't a while back.

I was exploring and running random heroics last night and I got my first penalty for leaving a party made in Dungeon Finder. Is it always a half an hour? That's kind of steep, but it was a half an hour put to better use exploring than listening to one of the members bicker with the tank over what gear they had. (Granted, dude was completely in blues, but still, it's more annoying to fight about it than actually letting him try.) Anywho, I'm halfway done exploring everything. Northrend and Kalimdor are completely done so now I just need to finish parts of Outland and a lot of the Eastern Kingdoms and I'll be Meabh the Explorer.

Also, I have to say, playing with a few people is so much more fun than playing by yourself, even if you're not doing things together. I like having a guild again.

Cire27 · « **Reply #2232 on:** 08 Jun 2010, 13:52 »

Today is the tenth day. Three days ago I put in another ticket asking them about it and they told me they were working on it.

Woo stuff! They also seem to have taken away some emblem gear and refunded the emblems. My helm is also gone. Hope I am not being hacked again.

And then they send me stuff back that my pally had equipped the day after I buy it back. Oh, frustration.

Lines · « **Reply #2236 on:** 14 Jun 2010, 21:52 »

I got my explorer title! Yay! And then since I didn't know what else to do, I went and soloed Scholomance, since I'd never been there before BC came out. It was pretty easy and therefore really fun. I love running into a room, dropping starfall, and watching mobs die within seconds.

My reply...

Sup chief,

I was just wondering about my name change, I chose Díck as it is short for "Ritchard" which was taken in any variation with funny letters I could think of. I just wanted an undead warlock like the one in the comic "LFG" http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/3 and also once a GM helped me out with a pet name issue on that exact same toon, I thought if there was a problem he would have done something then as he called me by the character name. I have not played that toon in a long time, so when I recieved the alert on my phone I was worried someone had logged on my account, as I had my authenticator in my pocket I doubted it but still, cannot be too careful. Could you please tell me if someone logged onto my warlock on Boulderfist recently?

Thanks for reading this, I know you guys must be mega busy (I know what it's like answering the office emails at my work :/ )

-James

Re-reply

Greetings James,

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the time it took us to handle your email. While we try to reply to every email received as soon as possible, we do so in the order they come in and at times a queue can be formed.

Having checked your account, I can confirm that your Undead Warlock on Boulderfist has indeed not been logged into for a very long time. There are also no other indications that your account was compromised at all and having an authenticator is surely a great way of securing your account.

What caused your character's name to be flagged for name change, was a report regarding a similarly named character on another realm. An armory search then indicated that there were a few more characters with this name and they were forced to change name as well.
While I can understand that you had no ill intentions when naming your character this, it is a very well known name for male genitalia and will mainly be looked at this way by the community which makes it not suited for our gaming environment.

I hope this has shed some light on the situation. Don't hesitate to contact us again, either way by email or by sending in a ticket in-game.

Best of wishes,

Mary V.
Senior In-Game Representative Thalianei

For whatever reason, I was flying through Wintergrasp and the time until the next battle was 2 min, so I was like, hey why not. It was fun! This was the most fun I've ever had doing pvp and actually I think this is only the 2nd time I've ever been in a battlegroup that won. Granted, Feathermoon was notorious for having crappy pvp players, but it was awesome! I think I have found a new thing to do.

And I went ahead and got this, which doesn't do much for my druid, but will be an upgrade for my shaman.

Within the first two weeks after we downed LK we cleared BQ, Marrowgar, Saurfang, Rotface, Dreamwalker, Lootship (duh), and Festergut on Heroic mode, but every time we work on the actually hard ones and start wiping we start running into attendance problems. Now a few people transferred away and we've regressed somewhat. The stupid thing is that we didn't even really wipe all that much, since it was really just working on Lady Deathwhisper that caused the wipes. People suck.
