Item Loss Issue - And "Working as Intended" literally screwing your players over.

[LilyStorm]

Hey SE,

So. I recently discovered by way of really terrible game mechanics and coding that you can trade in Bonded/Melded items for quest turn ins.

This is hands down retarded.

I had made an HQ Raptorskin Choker for Leather Quest Turn in, and happened to have an extra one in inventory that was Bonded and Double Melded for mining. (Gathering and Percept +3 if any of your staff actually gives a flying monkey pile of dung to help me in replacing that item. (Hold on, double parenthesis incoming for a HUGE LOL.))

Now, every time you turn in an HQ a little box pops up that says "Are you sure you want to trade in an HQ Item?" Well, this box gets spammed a LOT especially as I had been doing Leves and quests all day that REQUIRE HQ items.

So, for BONDED and MELDED items, a very similar box pops up. One that looks nearly identical except one word.

Yes, obviously as your player base I should have slowed down time and read so very very carefully, but really, the fact that it was even an OPTION to turn in a bonded and melded item is stupid. I mean, shitake mushrooms after being eaten and squeezed out through your gaping anus, at least add a check mark box to it or something.

What's even more retarded is that your customer support couldn't do anything because it was a melded item. So, you give us the option to screw up (because hey, we're human!) and no option to recover from this.

That's dumb, Square Enix. And after playing your games for many, many years, I have no idea what brought me to think anything you ever gave me was not retarded. I have dealt with your terrible customer support and GMs for years only to think maybe this time it'd be different.

Abusers don't change. Thanks for wasting my time, your time, my real money, my in game money, and my damn sanity.

Incoming ban for the truth sucks. Also, for using retarded and sucks.

Strait up, you click without reading then you have no-one to blame but you. You say it had only two materia on it and both what lvl 2's? You can make one of those with the two materia very easily.

you are very easily upset.

Now if I had accidently traded my pentameld crafting gear that would be upsetting.

Yup.

If ever an "its your own fault" applies, its in your case op.

no one to blame but yourself. so, instead of blaming SE for your stupid mistake of not paying attention to what you are doing, take some responsibility

Well I agree with you on being human and making mistakes. I have done something similar and it is no fun.

After it happens you can do a facepalm for making such a mistake and then move on and enjoy yourself.....or you can whine and moan to SE and anyone else who will listen how it's not fair and they are a horrible company for not better protecting you from yourself.
