Babaavoss said: The most important thing is that the GM responded to my report, and the response basically said that there is nothing Blizzard can do for you right now, but Blizzard is working hard to solve this problem. That's hilarious... part of the GM's response was "I've looked into this issue further for you and we've received multiple reports of this issue and can confirm that it's not working as expected. Currently, we have no A workaround or solution for this issue, our developers are currently working on this issue for all players." Matheal said: I just started doing my routine, and when I go to "Slaves of Saronite" every day, I hear The sound of gold coins, when I tried to rescue one. After a few tries, I suspected something was wrong, because I lost 5000 gold coins. I did a "rescue" again, and saw that every slave you interacted with would go from You took 500 gold coins from you. I am currently missing 5500 gold coins. ***, I want my gold coins back!
Zach said: If anyone cares, I got a reply from the GM confirming that this is indeed a bug, and I and others did lose gold because of it. According to the GM, they are currently unable to intervene due to the unknown source of the problem. Of course I want the gold coins back, but I'm glad to at least know I haven't lost my mind lol. I'm sure their support team got slammed, but hopefully it will be sorted out soon. Good luck to everyone who goes through this. cheers
