2 Runestones Lost due to full inventory

[Cycloptichorn]

I'm sorry that this happened to you.

But I think it was incredibly sloppy of you not to triple-check the second you got these drops. I mean, you're talking about some of the rarest items in the game. Hard to blame the game for the fact that you didn't manage yer inventory correctly before going into battle.

I hope the moderators and GMs reading this replace them for you.

Stop bashing on this dude. There are things that happen that force loot to drop into inventory. Like, if you oust someone.

Helping someone with their faction NMs, I decided to use up some of my faction that was nearing the cap and I got a runestone. Noticed that inventory was full, finished the leve and ported back to camp. A member needed to do homework and forgot to leave the party. I ousted then guess what happened to the runestone? I'm not extremely upset about it being lost, but I did find it odd that loot force drops when you oust someone. It hardly makes sense why it would do that.

bucc body sells for about 7mil on my server, that sucks but i think your beat.

I understand that it was sloppy inventory management i just didnt know it worked that way with the runestones however Consistency on SE's part would be great, and yes it would be nice if they would replace these stones thats nearly 10 mil down the drain now.

I'm not trying to give him too hard a time. It's happened to me before - I lost a suit of Kokoroon's mail this way the second week I was playing the game... a hard lesson to learn.

A runestone is lost if you open the chest with a full inventory. Don't listen to all the mis-information in this thread. I lost a buccaneer's shirt back in January when they were worth 15mil. It sucked but it was gone. The chest depopped, it wasn't in the loot list, it was just gone.

It boils down to more sloppy game design by the old development team. It would be simply unacceptable to have a piece of software do this in anything that isn't a game and anyone who thinks otherwise I hope never gets a job in the software industry. It would be like going to an ATM to take money out but losing your money because you accidentally had your finger on the slot where the money comes out.

The game has checks for full inventory on pretty much everything in this game, except that. It's an oversight either through lack of adequate QA testing (the patch with these NMs was probably rushed) or simple laziness.

You won't get that runestone back. This isn't Final Fantasy XI where you can fill in a form online for items that are lost through no fault of your own and have them looked into and put back in your inventory. This is Final Fantasy XIV, the flagship MMO from the same company without any customer service. Trust me, I tried various methods of contact in efforts to get mine back since it was so valuable at the time.

This isn't up for debate with me. Speak to any other software developers and they will tell you the same; bad design and bad QA.

Sorry to hear you lost 15 mil, but also happy that i am not the only one and it was bad game design as usual thanks for the reply.

to be honest there's plenty of things still wrong in the game that need fixing. Another one is if you activate a leve and then get disconnected or crash the leve fails and there's no way to redo it, or sometimes a leve won't share with someone in the group. This inventory problem is just another one that'll be fixed in time. For now though it does kinda suck, sorry to hear you lost your stuff

lolololololol that sucks
