I think I accidentally NPC'd my Paragon's Helm......

[Griss]

well that sucks meowy. Hope you get some traction on this. If you do get the crown back, Be a bit more careful next time. =P

I completely agree that a buyback function would be very useful, and I'm sorry to hear you ended up selling your crown by mistake.

With that said, It doesn't change the fact that it was your mistake and, while I'm pretty sure the GMs are able to restore your item, it's not exactly something they are meant to do. They can, and I believe they probably will if you keep insisting, but fixing up player mistakes is not part of their job and calling them "lazy" because they're not answering your call is simply wrong.

I know the "damage" is much higher in your case, but this is similar to someone asking a GM to refund their anima because of a wrong teleport. The GMs can, but it doesn't mean they must, should or will do.



Anyways, I sincerely wish you good luck, losing that crown indeed sucks.

Sorry to hear this happened, I'd be super pissed.

The point that if they help you they have to help everyone else kind of doesn't work in this specific scenario though. Aside from event items, these are the first items you can only obtain once. In the case of an item you can only obtain once ever on a character, they should do an item restore within a certain period of time. I mean it's not worth gil and it's untradable so there's really hardly any reason someone would actually sell it on purpose unless they just didn't want it.

Did you also try putting in a ticket on the FFXIV support on this site?

I'm not religious but I pray to every God in the universe that you never get a job with even the slightest level of authority.

What's wrong with some people on these forums, has life been unfair to you?* A buy-back feature is an awesome idea and I see absolutely no logical reason whatsoever why you would argue against it being implented.

Also to stay on topic; Meowy I sincerely hope they help you get that Crown (:P) back, if only out of decency.

* I'm not interested in an answer.

My lack of empathy in the context of a game doesn't affect my real life. Because they're really easy to separate.

They implemented a way to get the CoP rings and whatnot back in XI after many years of the playerbase of being persistant. I really don't know why they didn't implement this again, even if it was on a 30 day cooldown like the CoP rings its better than nothing, I guess the best way to get your item back and get them to implement this is to keep this thread alive and hope bayohne or someone passes the idea onto the dev team.

I totally agree a buyback Feature should be implemented, but as for Meowie's Cause, without that buyback feature, there's really nothing SE can do about it.. should have been more careful before selling an Item that you know you couldn't get back. I feel your pain, I totally understand.. if this happened to me I would be highly pissed.. but again at the same time.. I know I'm the one that made the mistake Not SE nor the game, I made the input, I hit the sell x item, so it would be entirely my fault. Yes I would Pursue, attempting to get my "one-time" item back just like you are, but at the end of the day.. I know I frigged up and when other stuff like this comes to my path. I know to be extra cautious when selling to an NPC.

I wish you all the luck on getting your Paragon Crown back =(

[syntaxlies]

this is much worse then the time i npc's my bomb ash thinking it was my brimstone, lol

[DNO]

Damn that sucks.... for any U/U item there should be a second message/warning that comes up when you try to sell it. Not just the normal one. This could really stop a lot of peoples frustration.

Sorry man.

[Ragz]

Just excuse for being out damaged by Kite!

But this reminds me when Vanst got stuck in Blacksmith build for... a week!
He DCed and the char stuck in syn pose for a whole week until a server maintenance. GM couldn't even kick him off the game.

All I can say is you're screwed.

The GM's, well they dont exist, any you do meet are utterly useless and you might as well be getting support from a banana. The Support at SE is beyond awful, everyone I know doesnt even try to contact them anymore when things like this or other support needed things happen because they know its just a waste of time. Makes me appreciate NCSoft every time I contact them and I get a HUMAN response within an hour.

Unfortunate about your helm, maybe you will get lucky, dont hold your breath.
