    Yes, there should be consequences for failure to read game warnings properly—warnings the developers put in there specifically to prevent what happened to you after listening to complaints that the reward forfeit was not clear enough to those unsavvy with Savage loot rules (i.e., new raiders). They implemented measures to prevent this—you chose to ignore them/skim them/not read and understand them properly. That falls back on no one but yourself.

    It’s one weekly reward for one week. Not really game-breaking since this tier will be around for the next 6 months. At most, you will be behind one week with regards to gear due to the loss of a page from P1S and P2S. Coffers wouldn’t be guaranteed since you are at the mercy of RNGesus for them when in a party of 7 other people and no Lootmaster to distribute loot, so they cannot be considered here.

    You’re kind of coming off here as if this is some earth-shattering horror when it’s simply you failed to read the warning, and now you have to learn to accept and deal with the consequence of it. Video games shouldn’t be free of consequences, either.



    As an aside, the system itself exists to prolong longevity of the content. Nothing more, nothing less. The floors themselves have to be completed in order anyways were you to queue for the solo. The only reason you could skip ahead to P3S was because the PF leader had already cleared P1S and P2S. If they hadn’t, then they wouldn’t be able to queue into P3S.

    My point is exactly that it ISN'T a earth-shattering game-breaking thing, which is why it seems so steep to want it to be punished so severely. I agree that the mistake is mine, I should've just read it properly and in its entirety. Far as I know, most games have some way to assist when the player/customer makes a stupid mistake (e.g. deleting an item, despite there being a warning). We're human, after all. I certainly am, all things considered. I just hope(d) that the same would be here, and it doesn't hurt trying.

    And my point is that it really isn’t that severe of a punishment when this gear will be available for the next 6 months. You have plenty of time to get it. You are only behind by one week, and only for the first two floors.

    Human though we may be, there is no recourse for this because you made a mistake, and measures are in place to prevent said mistake. The only kind of recourse that could be given is your one-time retrieval of an item—but you technically didn’t lose one. At least, not within the confines that that policy is used for. You never cleared P1S or P2S, so you didn’t lose a page for the GMs to retrieve because you never had one to begin with. You merely skipped ahead despite the game warning you that rewards would be forfeited if you did.
