I agree, I think that something like loot lost for this reason should be restored. It's really a quality of life kind of thing.

However, I think also SE has made it pretty clear that restorations like this aren't really a priority to them. This really is their choice.

It is true that there are other games, that the GMs will actually restore gear for you in circumstances just like this. It's not really a impossible feat. I don't know if there are any programming limitations in this game by way of it's design, but things like that haven't really been alluded to. All we can really say is SE just chooses not to do this for us.

Should we complain about it? I mean, yea, it sucks. However, it's pretty much their stated policy already. It's just one of the things we accept here unfortunately. As far as waiting until it happens to you before canceling your subscription... I mean, you know it *would* happen to you if the loot became lost. SE isn't going to make a special exception for you, also, I doubt the rules will be changed.

All we can do really is make threads like you just made and have people make additional posts like this one. Just us saying: "hey, we'd really like this!" It's about all we can do.
