Wanted: Tomestone and nuts item refunds

[SamSmoot]

In WoW, similar token purchases can be refunded for the full price for one hour, as long as they weren't equipped and soulbound. I just made a tomestone item purchase, then discovered I already had the augmented version in my armory chest, so I just wasted 495 Astronomy tomestones.

I guess the issue here is that there's no soulbinding concept to let the system know you've equipped the item. Without that, people could buy gear, use it for an hour, then refund it and then buy another piece for a different job with the same tomestones.

The item is soulbound to you if you glam it or use it in battle.
The issue isn't that. There's just no refunds because the game kind of expects you to double check when it comes to that stuff. You *could* see if your once-in-a-lifetime, once-per-account item restore could apply to this, but is it really worth it?

Even then, it's a 50/50 chance they will give it to you. I got kicked out of my in game house due to being unable to log in due to RL issues and when I asked for an item back that I lost in the demolition and reclaimer they more or less told me to get bent and then would just send me a copypaste reply when I tried to escalate it so YMMV.

Have they ever given items back in that case? Might be policy because of the somewhat widely known fineprint of timing when it comes to demolition and stuff. Not that I don't think one should be free to request their item restore be used for whatever, btw, just asking!

No idea, I just know I have heard that GMs can do something like that once but according to the GM I was talking to they don't do that at all. Stinks too since it was more of a sentimental item than anything else. :/

When dealing with this gear, I like to buy up the full left or right side before I start playing around with augments. You could do that or keep a checklist to avoid this problem.

[Jojoya]

The other way to avoid the problem is to have the same job equipped when you go to buy a new piece so you can do an item comparison to make certain you're buying an upgrade.

[Jeeqbit]

/isearch the non-augmented version (currently /isearch radiant) and all augmented versions that you own should come up too.

This is unlikely to happen unless you have taken a break and don't have all of it equipped.

Put this on the list of fundamental quality of life changes to core/old systems that will always take a backseat in dev priority to new content and systems. Next to glamor dresser, hrothgar/viera hats, and furnishing.

In a similar vain, what's with their token/currency vendor design making it as complex as possible to get what you want? As a simplified example if X costs A and B, and B always costs C, then just make X cost A and C.

[Ronduwil]

This would be a nice-to-have QoL change, but I honestly don't see it as that much of an issue because tomestones and nuts are so easy to come by.
