Character rolled back - 3 months worth of inventory lost

[Shougun]

yes, in fact I feel zero motivation to play the game anymore... this whole thing has taken its toll on me
but at the same time I feel bad about my group as they would be left without a healer... specially after they offered to spend the weekend farming stuff with me so I could at least be raid ready... sigh

I feel bad, that's a lot of time to lose and lends a pretty big feeling that they "just don't care/respect me". I understand there is probably a lot of red tape and rigid structures in place that mean some people you talk to might really want to help, that the company unintentionally handcuffed itself, and it's not some sort of heartless corporate structure or whatever. As I want to be clear I'm not trying to paint SE evil, but when I imagine myself in the situation I imagine a feeling of "they don't care about me" a feeling of "wow- they couldn't get it done on time and when they did do it finally they did it for maximum destruction, they don't care it destroyed my experience".

That said I would really suggest perhaps giving this thread time to ferment, perhaps one of our CM will see it and be able to pass it on sincerely (if this is a real event). If you're really blessed you might even get a response/a solution presented. If this issue is truly as people say, truly like 3 months work demolished, I think Yoshida would really care about this. One thing clear is Yoshida really wants to leave people's work alone and let them have what they earned. I remember when there were a few issues SE caused that made some people talk about "maybe we should roll back the servers", Yoshida was like "it's our fault I'm not going to disrespect player's work like that, no roll backs". I don't mean to single him out either because I'm sure some others would care too.

So I'd give it a little bit of time especially if you have some sub time before subscription gets pulled again, before deciding to stop playing at least. If nothing comes of it at all and you've been waiting a while.. /shrug.. Sorry . At least your friends are really nice to help you get back on your feet if you so choose. I wouldn't judge you if you decided not to though. I just think if someone high enough knew about this they might at least attempt to take action, at least I think that... I would at least attempt to fix it (I'm obviously not in a position of power lol).

Of course I don't mean to suggest there is a snap your fingers solution so I'm not sure how long a turn around would be if they could even help you specifically. Nor do I mean to trivialize how easy/hard it would be to implement new protical and systems to prevent and fix this sort of issue for players. But if this described issue is true then.. It's concerning.

By the way I'm sorry I keep saying "if true" it's just that technically we only have part of the story(/perspective) and I've learned that can be a major issue. So it's my only way to say I don't hold it against SE if you held something out on us, but that if we have accurate info then "x" is my response.
