Hidden Orchid Treasure packs

Where did you go to exchange the Skyplume Pearls for DoD? I went to the Coordinates but the NPC is not there. Sorry if I'm a bit off-topic.

i got dc and lost 400 pearls its a scam i have submitted a ticket!

Did you notice the expiration dates of those things? If you got a DoD from them that means you scammed PWI. Not the other way around.

Ok heres the thing.
They ONLY vanish when you do specific things in the game. If you trade with a player (maybe Npc) They will vanish, if you sort your invo they will vanish (maybe bank sort too) if you relog/dc they will vanish.

The system message is a straight up lie when it says "they can disappear at any time". They wont randomly vanish. Its as simple as you doing a particular action for them to vanish. You dont do thoes actions you can trade your 500 for a DoD or DoT.

Since it is an expired item that is a "bug" of sorts they wont help you out if they vanish. But you wont be punished if you dont glitch them out of your bag and you use them.

I dont like that they lied to us but at least if you learn how the vanishing bug works you can get free DoD/DoT.


The only real bad thing about this is gold is now 5.5mill... Lordie cash shoppers must be happy

How is that scamming pwi? They made the mistake of not removing it, how is that the players fault.. derpderp.

because the fact that they have expired and yet still appear and people are spending them. it is considered a glitch. not allowed to take advantage of an unintentional circumstance. technically this is actually considered theft by bailee.

but I will illustrate a situation where your "they screwed up so it's not our fault if we help ourselves to benefit from it" will absolutely fail.

you wake up one morning and check your bank account balance and are shocked that the bank deposited $1 million into your checking account by mistake. you had only $5 in there the night before. do you think you are entitled to that money because they bank made a mistake by putting it in your account? you can think to yourself 'they made the mistake of putting in my account so it's not my fault I spent it' argument while standing in front of a judge at your sentencing hearing for a felony grand theft by bailee conviction but you will still be derp derping off to prison in handcuffs nevertheless.

get the point?

* Actually on the bright side if a bank ever did accidentally drop millions into our bank account by mistake even though we are not legally allowed to touch that money we are entitled to any interest that money accrues while it is in our account.

One wonders how dumb people come here acting like they are hot stuff.

Using your example, if you were to contact bank, they would fix it. If you were to contact PWE support, they would say to use them if you can. Its a gift as PWE does not expect payment for using said pearls beyond the payment we put for getting packs they were part of.

Ps. Only reason we see the announcement is to avoid being QQd for the items going missing.

So getting something that is unintentional from PWI is a gift? LOL! Why would PWI offer a DoD from charge reward then offer another from an expired item in a pack?

The items go missing because they are not supposed to be included in the pack in the 1st place. They are expired. LAWL!!!

Oh and yeah, the bank will fix the issue however there are those who think that the money erroneously deposited into their account is a gift too.

I know those items were expired and not intended for use. I NPC's the 4000 I received from packs because I'm not a cheat.

Gift is the best explanation what there is for skyplume pearls currently. If you are intent on using stupid example regarding money on ones bank account, lets modify it to as close to situation as possible. PWE gave you the item, doesnt want it returned and likely encourages to use it(havent bothered writing ticket to test this). So somebody puts randomly money on your account, doesnt want it back and encourages you to use it, how is that against any laws? Sure, there are some taxes regarding gifts in certain places but thats beyond the point.

Ps. You are free to do what you want with your ****, sounds just silly as there is no "cheating" anybody involved.

i subbed a ticket and this is what they gave me when i asked if i can just get a DOD instead >.> :

The Skyplume Pearls are an expired item. Because they are they can and will disappear for any reason at anytime.

Due to the Skyplume Pearls being expired we will not be able to recover any that have disappeared.
.....

No I am sorry because they are expired they are not meant to be redeemed. While some have been able to do so prior to them disappearing, we will not be providing any items.
