Diplomatic Investigation Item Taken Quantity Error

During Diplomatic Investigation, Hromi Cluster, Alpha Kappa, the planetary request was for communications arrays. I had just bought and banked a stack of them for transfer to my other char who needs them for rep/fleet donations/etc so I know that I had 250 of them before the quest. The prompt for these quests is funny and seems to double tap, requesting delivery of the item twice, if you proceed directly toward delivering them rather than getting the quest, leaving to get the item and then returning... so after the quest completion from the second prompt I just thought I would double check to see how many communications arrays were taken whether it was 10 per the planet's request or 20 due to the apparent double tap... lo, and behold when I checked, the quest had removed the entire stack of communications arrays - 250 of them.
Submitted an in-game ticket for number 1,776,425... yikes. with so many tickets is there a remote chance that this will ever be addressed? ...

I have added this entire "communication chain" as PWE has taken no action whatsoever and insists on closing tickets...

Well what have you done besides send me canned responses? NO IT IS NOT DONE. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.

Hello
I'm sorry to hear you lost your reward. Unfortunately, we won't be able to assist you with this issue.
With that said, we would like to encourage you to submit a Bug Report, with your findings, directly to our QA team. This may be done by selecting 'Bug Report' from the list of available help options. Do note that Bug Reports are reviewed by members of the QA team, however you will not be able to edit or view any reported bugs. Additionally, Bug Reports do not receive personalized responses.
Please rest assured that our developers work to resolve all bugs as quickly as possible.
In the future, to help us provide the highest quality service to our players, please use the "Report a Bug" button in the Help and Support menu, rather than "Request GM Help", when reporting possible bugs that may not require immediate intervention by a GM.
In the future, please be careful when trading, and understand the risk in dealing with other players.
We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. Thank you for playing!

Your canned response is infuriating because 1) it fails to respond to the issue addressed, 2) it appears to be the wrong form e-mail, 3) it appears that no one actually read the issue, 4) it accuses the player of having asked for GM intervention vice having submitted a BUG REPORT, 5) IT IS OVER A MONTH LATE, 6) it fails to identify that it is in fact a canned response - which may prevent some of the frustration players feel when dealing with the massive unresponsiveness regarding this game and this company, especially as the canned response appears to ACCUSE THE PLAYER OF WRONG DOING, NAIVETE, AND OTHER ON LINE INDISCRETIONS.
In fact I did click to submit a bug report. I believe in the tiny space that was provided, I submitted enough detailed information to be able to identify the area of code that is affected and to find the actual error and fix it.
I'm sorry to hear you lost your reward. Unfortunately, we won't be able to assist you with this issue. At this time items which are accidentally misplaced, deleted, deconstructed, sold, bound to the wrong character, tossed, disappeared or accidentally discharged do not qualify for reimbursement or replacement.
I did not "lose my reward", I did not "accidentally misplace, delete, deconstruct, sell, bind to wrong character, toss" the item. I did identify EXACTLY HOW THE ITEM DISAPPEARED AND WHY. I indicated that this had happened before, I had a suspicion of what had occurred and watched the event take place. I identified the DIPLOMATIC MISSION, THE PROBLEM WITH THE MISSION, AND THE METHOD TO REPRODUCE THE ERROR, which would allow a tester to verify the problem, isolate the affected code and fix the problem.
Although I have not programmed in quite some time, I believe that even with my rusty skills this should not be a difficult or time consuming problem (UNLESS YOU ARE PROGRAMMING WITH SPAGHETTI CODE).

Oh and in regard to:
"In the future, to help us provide the highest quality service to our
players, please use the "Report a Bug" button in the Help and Support menu,
rather than "Request GM Help", when reporting possible bugs that may not
require immediate intervention by a GM. "
That is exactly what I thought I was doing when I clicked the button...
YOUR SYSTEMS SUCK, its no wonder you have MILLIONS of tickets and can't
respond to them.

?! Did you or ANYONE actually read the issue? Is this just a canned
response? NO IT IS NOT RESOLVED!
I was reporting a bug in a quest procedure... while your "apologetic" BS
says you won't get my materials back, it makes ZERO REFERENCE to actually
having read the incident and making corrections to the program to prevent
the bug from affecting other players. I have tested the incident and it
continues to react in the same way, overcharging deliverable items in the
diplomatic quests.
FIX YOUR BUGGY GAME. So what if I lost a stack of communications arrays,
I'm telling you your program is broken, where the problem comes up, and it
should be relatively simple to find the affected program area AND FIX IT.
Thank you,

Hello
Thank you for contacting us about this. We apologize for the late response. Unfortunately, due to the incredibly high volume of tickets sent in regarding Star Trek Online, we have not been able to provide an answer to each ticket at the rate we aimed for.

At this time items which are accidentally misplaced, deleted, deconstructed, sold, bound to the wrong character, tossed, disappeared or accidentally discharged do not qualify for reimbursement or replacement.
