The case of the missing Infamy

I just sent this in a petition but I want to post it here also to see if anyone else has had this issue and if they were able to resolve it:

I had around 1.5 billion inf on my character and 700 Million to claim from transactions. I wasn't paying attention- I clicked "claim," and then accidentally hit it again after getting the inventory cap message. My inf to claim disappeared from the market, but I (obviously) did not get it.

I emailed 999,999,999 to myself, logged out, logged back in, expecting the inf to re-appear to be claimed. It didn't. I then tried (edit: wrong word) selling something for 1 inf. to get it to refresh, buying something to get it to refresh, neither of which worked.

Is my infamy gone forever? I have hated the idea of an inf cap for a very long time because of potential disasters like this/QOL issues that they present. I've said it before on the suggestions board but the player base shot me down- Why I don't know. I really feel that a global inventory per account would circumvent these potential serious issues, but at the very least a global Infamy with unlimited amount per account would be incredibly awesome and helpful- Granted, for VIP's only.

That's not really the point of this thread, just venting a bit. Really hoping that someone else has experienced this problem and may have found a way to fix the situation.

Your sale disappearing from the market should not have happened. That's a bug for sure. Send a petition. They should be able to check the logs and refund you. Make sure you can tell them the character, what general timeframe, and preferably what you had sold that you were claiming.

Cool, thanks. I did specify the character name and server, not sure if the petition will have a time stamp on it. It would be difficult to say what the items were aside from a broad explanation that they were purple enhancements. I buy and sell them so frequently that I don't really bother making mental notes of which I had posted at certain times- Add the fact that I wasn't really paying attention, just rapidly clicking claim and then having my money disappear.. And it's not gonna happen.
