That was intentional. They did it on purpose. I think prices STAYED at around 250g this time where as last time they rose and eventually sold out.

It's just a game, if you are getting so upset over 2 hours of a game, then I would hate to think of what would happen if some real problem happened in your life.

Guys, there is going to be a rollback and no amount of complaining will change it. It is the fairest approach.

Guys, You're getting your IG Gold back, so, go and get a life!

All I'm seeing here is a bunch of people acting like kids, and a few kids acting like adults.

Gaile and the other devs are human. they screw up too. We still like em though!

No I don't think so. I didn't get a 15>50%, but I didn't get a GOLD Shadowblade last night. Why ? Because America lately has not been getting favor so often; the Europeans have been holding it for a while. All night I was in FoW since we don't have a chance to enter it very often; if they rolled that back, I would be a little "ticked" off.


Overall, your post was just voided. Quit with the almighty attitude telling people what they should do and how they should feel. This goes for everyone. Complaining doesn't change much in terms of the Rollback, but it sure as hell makes you feel better if something of yours was lost. Let them vent - they need it because it's cathartic.

Well its a risk that Anet has to take with rolling back the server to its original state at 1pm PST, 9pm GMT. So basically its just 2 hours of gameplay or so lost, no biggie.....better than causing a big Hoo Hah!! with everyone havin sup absorbtion n shards galore.

Lol imagine how many hours of game play and how many times you have seen a perfect sword or axe sell on here for millions and you finally get it the best drop the one you have been waiting and you hear the servers are being rerolled

That's one of the most optimistic posts in this thread!

Listen up yall! The Devs READ the forums! M(r)s. Gray is online, Possibly reading this thread! So, Act like we like the devs! Don't forget, Other's have had this happen also.

I think we all should apologize to M(r)s. Gray and the other Devs!

And all the exploiters come out of the woodwork, shouting, "I AM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AN EXPLOIT!"

I hope you all felt good buying all the stuff that will just dissapear after the rollback.

All these errors and bugs are really getting annoying, are their server so unsable that they have to update every day just to fix a bug or exploit, errors even.

Sigh.. boring.

Appologize for what? We ddin't do anything worng here, it's their fault.
That the only conclusion really.

We should still however not forget it's only a game, and while I would hate to lose my 200 shards, I would rather them have the game back up fast.
Screw the shards, give GW back! Free GW!

Servers still aren't down, so either they can roll it back while it's running, or they haven't started yet.

w8 so the ppl from the last reset can keep all there cash and items but this time they are going to change it back ?

Anet ppl, only 2 things: How old are you guys? and let us know when you are in a good mood and when in a bad 1.
maybe there should be a color on the trader with anet=green (good mood) or anet=red(bad mood)

Heh, this is kinda funny. I feel bad for some people, but then again I would feel bad the other way around as well (if they didn't rollback). I know there are people who care about the items and other people that don't. Personally, I wasn't online when it happened so I'm not really affected. The funny thing about it all (regardless of whether u are losing stuff u shouldn't have got, or losing drops that you were glad to get), is that ANet's stance has always been that the game's about skill and not about fancy items or grind.

Well, when the shit hits the fan, I guess none of that matters any more. They must mean that it's not about 'certain' items or something. Anyway, I was never on that bandwagon and after having done the game with my characters and mapped out all of the world, I like getting things so this rollback is good for me.

Update: Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve the issue with the trader reset. We wanted to let you know that the game will be accessible at about 8:30 p.m. PST tonight (4:30 GMT). It will take us that period of time to do the rollback and to assure that all is in proper working order.

Then you'd be shafted out of the same amount of playtime that anyone else who played during the timespan the rollback covers.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Who's Fault?

I'm talking about the people who are whining and complaining because they are losing items they used an exploit to gain. Is that not Hypocricy? Cheating and complaining because they lose their items which they cheated to gain?

Now, I'm not saying that what any of you was bad, you saw the prices dropped durastically, and you purchased the items.

Then, they announced that is was accidental, whinch in a sense makes it an exploit, and they are reversing it.

Then, Players come here and whine about it.

That's what we should apologize to the devs for.

Last reset was intentional! This one was unintentional. Read before you flame anet.

This rollback would've gone ALOT faster if so many people didn't try to exploit the bug.

Hey, I was looking at other forums and came across this post.

Please be aware that we are very sensitive to the fact that rollbacks are not a player-pleasing thing. I remember being involved with a game that had a one-week rollback a few years ago. We know that for the player who has completed a mission, or who has acquired a special drop, this is particularly irritating. For those who didn't exploit the accidental reader reset, it's particularly regretable that we must do a roll-back. But truly, it must be done. It must be done for the good of the game, and for the maintenance in value of all that you have acquired. It must be done in the interests of partity and balance and, well, all that's right and fair.

We're very sorry, and we'll see you later this evening, in the game, with all set right in the game world. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
