So I screwed up. I need some options ...

[zEmini]

I might finally permanently quit this game. Here is why ...

Finally the South Wind Drake was at the BMAH. So after selecting the item and placing the bid, I realized to my horror that I used the "Hot Item" box and not the proper Bid box and placed my 150,000 bid on a worthless Brawlers Guild Invitation. Why is there two bid boxes?

This is obviously a honest mistake because who would pay 150,000 gold on an item that will be free or close to it in the future. In fact on my realm I don't think I saw one of these Brawler Guild invites for more than 20kg.

Greetings !@#$%^,

It looks like you accidentally bid on the Brawler's Guild invitation in the black market auction house instead of the South Wind Drake. The black market auction house was designed by the developers to be risky business, and because of that game masters are not allowed to interfere with purchases or bids made there unless the player can't use the item at all.

My response to the GM

So I lost 150,000 gold because of a bad video game? I do not accept this as a vaild customer response. 150gk market price is over 200 dollars! Should I go to ebay and buy some gold then? Because right now I am very pissed off! I understand that you probably do not dictate policy but your fucking black auction house broke the game for me! And by the way, I took that stupid "Blood Soaked Invitation" and deleted it!

EDIT: I deleted my rage response. I am still mad but life goes on...

[Wikko]

So you failed and decided to blame it on the game? And then deleted the invitate when you could've sold the 10 invites and practically getting your money back. Ok. You should quit.

I have finally decided to permanently quit this game. Here is why ...

Well if you play with your eyes closed you only have a 50% to hit the right button.
Better luck next time and i applaud you for taking the Illidan challenge.

[Rotted]

Indeed, your fuck up your problem

Its exactly the same as doing a undying run, clearing it all, someone dies on anub, and you contact a gm to say you should get it because you didnt die and they fucked up

Yah because it was a mistake? Obvious is obvious...

The black market auction house was designed by the developers to be risky business, and because of that game masters are not allowed to interfere with purchases or bids made there unless the player can't use the item at all.

Right there proves it is a bad game policy.

[Deleted]

It's your own stupid mistake. Don't blame Blizzard for it.

[irongar]

I feel you bro

Even though it was your fault, I had the same thing, however, for me it was just a low bid for about 2k gold which was outbitted later. They should remove that "Hot Item box".

[Nekrosislol]

Sounds like its your own damn fault.

[Nasriel]

lol you sure come across as a bright spark. You screwed up and bid on the wrong item then contacted a GM. Fair enough I'd do the same... but when they said no you had a little nerd rage. Deleted the item, started thinking about buying gold off Ebay then cancelled your sub because YOU screwed up? that's... yeah. Good work....

Pretty much this, but your rage post was fun to read OP.

[Deleted]

so basically you messed up werent paying attention to what you were doing and its blizzards fault? do us a favor and please do quit the game, less self righteous assholes playing the better

[Calzaeth]

hehehehe, thanks for the laugh^^

Just in case this is actually legit: you screwed up. Not Blizz, not God, YOU.

[Gavril]

Quit the game , or grind out another 150k ? it's just time you lost.

[Korrah]

Remove the name to avoid getting infracted.

OT: Well, it's a sad story but the loading screen tip says " Bid carefully" ....

[Thulvaso]

Your last response to the GM wasn't really friendly, if you want a problem sorted at least be nice about it.

No Blizzard screwed up actually.

This sums it up. Be less retarded

[zEmini]

How can any dignified human being not see this as a issue? Are you jealous I had 150kg? Seriously? Get over it.

[yetgdhfgh]

Even though i will admit the BMAH is badly designed you aint gonna get much sympathy here

bottom line is you fucked up and blizz said its your fault either you can man up and laugh it off or just quit and find another game to play

[Chrysia]

No Blizzard screwed up actually.

How? By designing a BMAH that is intentionally risky on it's bids, and providing a clear interface for bidding on both the item you want, or an item you may have missed that is popular at the moment on the AH?

EDIT: Also, your thread title is severely misleading. You say you screwed up in the title, then deny it repeatedly in the thread. You also ask for options, but you only have two. Man up and keep playing, or man up and go through with quitting. Have fun!
