<p>First and foremost, let me apologize if this is the incorrect outlet for this post. I think I got it right, since this isn't a technical problem.</p><p>So I was playing on my 24 ranger finishing up quests in GF, accumulating a load of quest items in my overflow before I run back to town and try and dump everything <i>somewhere</i>. I am a packrat. I keep, pretty much, everything. All my bags are full, all my boxes are as well, so I check out my shared vault. The first box contains collection items, some stacked as high as 10 per stack, but some were unique, single, and I had just made a brand new guardian. So I'm thinking, hmm, let's try and make some space that way.</p><p>I load up every single one of my toons, except for two, my girlfriend's and my newest guardian and go through the examining process. I reach one of my toons that I was almost positive had all those items already examined, but you know, I suppose I could've just been a wee forgetful of late. Note, also, that she still had her 50% runspeed buff on (Mystic) that had been removed from game shortly after everyone made Mystics for that purpose. Seconds passed by, and poof, the buff finally runs its full course.</p><p>So I camped and loaded up another alt. And then I noticed a whole batch of collection items had gone missing. And I was thinking to myself that I am not so old that I'd have completely forgotten every single item that I'd just examined. I decided, however, that I must be really, really tired, and loaded up Nimbu, my new guardian. I examined everything except for a couple pieces that I'd found running around the beach on the Isle of Refuge and perhaps a few feathers as well, and then loaded up my ranger again to see the final tally of space that I'd made available.</p><p>I double-click on the banker and lo! My shared vault bank slot one is practically EMPTY. I have but a few collection items remaining, all of them -- I think -- items that none of my characters used (for example, if one of my characters examined one, the entire stack of the identical collection item went missing when I camped to another character.. or at least, that's what I'm thinking because I only have shells and feathers left, and that's all Nimbu had already gotten). My gut instinct tells me it's one of three things: a problem with the overflow with my ranger, a problem with a non-existing buff expiring, or a brand new problem caused by examining shared vault (or perhaps just all vault) collection items in a stack and camping to another character.</p><p>Now, the value of the items were entirely negligible, but I still want them back, I suppose on principle alone. I've sent in a number of petitions, and the GMs insist that I just used them all. You mean I <i>used</i> chipped shards, sometimes 10 per stack at a time across all my characters that I've done this a million times with? I <i>always</i> go through my collections across all my characters to try and minimize used space, and <i>somehow</i> this time all of them disappear, because I create one new toon?</p><p>I want them back, and I do want this bug fixed. More to the point, I don't want the GMs telling me I'm mistaken about this, because I'm positively sure I'm not.</p><p>If this isn't the right place, sorry. Do point me in the right direction and I'll re-post.</p>
