This isn't true. The downtime this morning was due to the PVP gear.Originally Posted by 'kadaan',index.php?page=Thread&postID=147061#post1 47061
This.
The maintenance message when you login clearly states as such "This maintenance is designed to correct a very recent issue where players were able to obtain certain PvP items without paying the intended price."
How one could misinterpret this, I'm at a loss to understand.

Seeing reports of free gear being gone, looks like an item by item roll back. One dude gemmed some free stuff out and wants his 400G from the item being taken back. Also seeing players that had legit purchases lose the gear, get honor back but not marks. Also hearing that people who got some S4 weapons with no rating cost are getting to keep them.
I am still at work. What are you guys seeing? I wish they would pull the rating requirements off the gear. I am at arena point cap with nothing left to buy on a couple of toons I 2v2 with my daughter. We are generally terrible but have fun playing together. It would be nice to be able to use the points, even if the gear is obsolete tomorrow. And I know there is a gear reset but top gear won't be reset with the first new drop. BWL and Naxx weapons were not replaced until 68 and 70 blues, respectively. My Thunderfury was arguablly the best tanking weapon through T5 and beyond, even after the nerfed it. Heck right before TBC came out and we converted to the current Honor system, the HWL/GM gear was essentially free.
Oh please, all they have to do is for [all pvp gear purchases between patch and now] remove items, refund any honor spent. DONE, WOW THAT WAS HARD. Quit being such a weenie. Do you really, I mean cmon REALLY, think that they go through each purchase of s2 items last night by hand? If you do you are truly naive. The power of a database it the ability to alter and retreive many items quickly. Grow a brain.It does matter, each item has to be removed then the honor/tokens/arena points added back to the toon (if it wasn't one of the totally free items). Each of those database operations takes a small amount of time. Multiplied by hundreds of thousands and may millions of times it adds up contributing to longer down time. Yes it would have happened anyway because of others taking the gear but why come here boasting about taking some yourselves and looking like asshats?Blizzard would have taken the servers down to fix this whether anyone "took" anything or not. The multiboxing community has high standards in terms of hacks and cheats and botting. Blizzard accidentally making certain epic gear cost nothing doesn't fall into any of those categories. I'm pretty sure they don't manually remove each item from every person. The rollback would be a global action.
Can you please quote what you consider boasting? I see only one person who actually tried to use the gear to do anything. You've used quite a vocabulary of insults, when I think the vast majority of the community here would be against using this to meaningfully exploit the game. Also, I'm pretty sure that running a script to rollback items would take the same amount of time whether 10 or 1 million people did it. You should direct your anger at Blizzard.
Wow, you really made youself look like an idiot with this post. IT'S A GAME. Get a hold of yourself.
So... I've got the honor points to spend, and need the gear to help me level to 80. I show up at the gear vendor to buy my gear and it's free. Free or not, I'm getting gear. Apparently I was the first person to notice this on my realm because the place was empty.
Right, because people who don't multibox are somehow inferior to the rest of us? Those baboons.I can understand idiots who don't multibox doing this and thinking they are going to get away with it
Sorry to have FORCED you to click this thread and read everything. Damn that free-will thing. News-flash: The world does not revolve around you.GTFO. I didn't donate to this site to see this shit.
Xar, please don't post in any of the threads that I create. Thank you.
You lost your R, but the typo is amusing.
I had to read it over and over until I understood what 'R' you were talking about. I kept reading it as revolve... :wacko:
Certain gear costing nothing is a bug. Purchasing that gear during this time is taking advanatage of a bug, this is against the EULA and TOS that YOU agreed too. Blizzard also has high standards in terms of abusing bugs in-game. It's a shame really that probably no action/discipline will be handed out as so many took part. But this is no excuse to do it. I for one didn't.Blizzard would have taken the servers down to fix this whether anyone "took" anything or not. The multiboxing community has high standards in terms of hacks and cheats and botting. Blizzard accidentally making certain epic gear cost nothing doesn't fall into any of those categories. I'm pretty sure they don't manually remove each item from every person.

Well good for you. I didn't, because I haven't had time to play. If I had been home you bet I would have, and if I got a 3 day ban then, well so be it.
