Maybe if the people who lost multiple-many-millions would have WAITED until the market settled down, and the weekend was over so the servers didn't have so much strain, you wouldn't have LOST all that.
Everyone's gotta have everything RIGHT freaking NOW. Well, that's that.
If you'd waited, you most likely might have lost 10k or nothing at all. I don't even know if I lost anything but I sure as heck wouldn't STORE rare commodities in there, I would KEEP the rares on me and store the crap in the CH. o.0 duh.
Sorry guys I don't feel too bad about the situation. Some of us with only about 200 k on them at any moment don't have the option of 'losing' 20 million. Some of us HAVE to wait for the stuff to get less intense. Maybe if some folks had been less impatient, this would have had less of an impact.
This wasn't the dev's fault, it's a glitch. plain and simple. Every system has them, and outside of this minor problem there are only little bits to fiddle with. Beta can only give so much of an idea of how the whole massive thing will work, so honestly, this was clearly an unexpected problem that might have occurred at *any* time.
If you just had to have that latest most-expensive piece RIGHT NOW, well, that's your loss. I will spend 1/100 of what you did for the same piece later on, by simply being patient and waiting for drop rates and prices to change. *shrug*

So, your opinion is that because some people have more influence than you, it's okay if they get ripped off? Or is it that people are dumb because they trust CoH subsystem A, and you think it's stupid for anyone to trust subsystem A, even though you routinely put your full trust in subsystems B-K.
ANd as for this statement:
"This wasn't the dev's fault, it's a glitch. plain and simple. Every system has them, and outside of this minor problem there are only little bits to fiddle with.

You must be one of the dev's troll accounts to have so much information. All us players know is what Lighthouse stated here:

The bottom line is that the issue that affected the Auction House was preventable and we are working hard and committed to make sure that such doesn't happen again - with Auctions or any other aspect of the service we offer.

Does that sound like the kind of impossible to predict glitch that you describe? No it doesn't.
Gah, why am I feeding the trolls.

Oh yeah, and just one more thing. Why do you think people were trying to get things "RIGHT NOW"? If they had gotten them right away, they wouldn't be in the consignment system. People that lost things were either trying to sell stuff, or had bids in for things at a price at which no one was selling. In other words, they were following your advice, but they weren't doing it stupidly like you idiotically advocate. They were putting in bids now at a price they were willing to pay, because that way if the price drops when they're not watching they'll still get the item. Your moronic advise shows that you don't actually understand the CH at all.

Yeah I have to side with HeckTender on this one (Seems I'm doing that alot lately Heck) By your rational, if a person bought CoH day one, and level'd to 50 in a month, and then something happened and all the characters were lost and could not be replaced, it'd be the Level 50's fault for having to level "RIGHT NOW" whereas the level 14 player who took their time and therfore lost less would be smarter and better. The fact of the matter is, if the CoH/CoV team deem something fit for the live server it had better be fit for the live server, because yes if it's a feature of hthe game we're going to <GASP> use the feature.

Hey buzz. I hope you got your stuff back.
If you didn't, I still don't think it matters... The stuff will be there. It's in the game. Play the game, get the stuff. That's really what the whole point is.
They oopsed. Sorry. They made up for it as best they can. *shrug again*

Let me get this straight...
If a bunch of people go to a brand new mall on the opening day, and the credit card system got hacked and they lost their money, it is the fault of those people who chose to go on the opening day?
/em boggles
The only thing worse than devs making bad decisions is the hoard of fanboys and bootlickers that keep cheering them on.
Ha. A little on "you must be kidding me" side of my thoughts when I read this. This has been tested on the test server and certainly not for an insignificant amount of time either. So it isn't illogical to expect things to work correctly when it is put to the live server.
Zekiran Elfmaker, no I did not get my stuff back. It's been over 26 hours now, and there has yet to be an official, personal (Non-automated) response to anyone who has this issue. PM's ignored, petitions ignored, forum posts ignored. The best we got was e-mail (automated) saying the issue is being escalated. I've been with CoH for a loooong time, and EVERYTIME I've sent a petition, if they didn't contact me in game within 15-30 minutes, they never fixed the issue. They send out these BS E-mails, and then a day or two later another saying "We'll consider the matter closed if you don't update your petition. Please do not respond to this E-mail" You update it....you get the escalation email...2 days later the "We'll consider the matter closed" email.
THAT is what is driving me to quit. Not the loss of inf, not the loss of recipes, not the failed fix, but the EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL treatment of the customers.
Games are supposed to be fun, relaxing and enjoyable. The anger I feel everytime I log in and am NOT contacted about the petition I sent makes the game unenjoyable for me. I can only log in for a few minutes before becoming so irritated I just log right back out again.
26 HOURS+ AND COUNTING and the devs haven't even admitted that there MIGHT have been a glitch in the "Fix".

It's been 390 hours since I sent my first petition. 102 hours since I sent my second. So far...nothing.

Perhaps you should log into the support center and check the status of the original ticket, sending multiples just bogs them down further.

The Dev's don't respond at all to /petitions- just GM's and Customer Service respond.
