Need to report bug - Guard took ALL of my gold

I need to report a bug but after looking in the bug report forum I do not see a post button. Does anyone know what to do about this? A guard accused me of theft and fined me ALL of my gold...5000 gold!!! I did not even take anything out of the container I literally just clicked it open accidentally.

If a forum moderator reads this can you please reply or at least get this to the proper person? This is the kind of thing that will make me just quit the game in disgust.

Title: Guard in Ardoris took all of my gold (5000) for just opening a container - I took nothing.

Reproduction Rate: I can not reproduce - he took all of my gold already!!

Blocker? I am not sure if this applies but yes having all of my gold taken makes me want to just quit the game permanently

Details: I opened a container in the Imports store in Ardoris - I opened it on accident. A guard appeared and said I was fined for theft and took all 5000 of my gold. That is my only gold that I acquired over several months of playing

Steps to Reproduce: Unable to reproduce I do not have any gold left

User Specs: I have a very high end PC but I think this info is irrelevant to this specific problem

 

Go here to post that "bug". You'll find the "Post New Thread" button in the upper right, just under the search.

 

Steal 50g worth of apples and get destroyed.

Open a container and the guards like police elsewhere will think you took something.

 

Hey, @CapNAhab11 sorry that happened. That would be very upsetting and frustrating. I would be happy to give you some gold to help you get back in the game. My character name is Pebbles if you want to send me a friend invite.

 

That.. needs to be fixed. The fines should have been lower until the system could be bug tested.

 

Agreed. I misclick all the time. And unfortunately, there is no opportunity to put things back.

 

Could use a prompt or notification that if you're about to and/or your mouse is over something that'll trigger this kinda response, and a corresponding addition to settings to disable it.

 

Very similar to the PvP system when you're not flagged for it.

 

Agreed this is devastating. I think a MUCH better system would be for the guards to fine you a percentage of what you are carrying - say 10% at most. To wipe somebody out is ridiculous. And if you friend me in game, I will be happy to fix you up.
[Edit - what is your ingame name?]

 

why do i keep seeing people claiming this? of course you can stash your gold. you can mail it to yourself. before that, you could sell yourself something.

 

You should be in jail for open a container, you Monster! Nah this is just Gold Decay, its good for the long term.

 

if you have ways to stash your gold and you choose not to use them because they're "improper", you don't get to complain about not having ways to stash your gold.

 

there's a public mailbox in every bank.

 

Very good suggestion here. Make the fine 1x while it is being tested. That way you avoid going broke. We tested this on the show the other day. Lost 1500 gold to the guards testing it. But it seemed to all work correctly. I also did this intentionally.

 

"Guards will now impose fines of 100 gold plus 100 times the value of the objects being stolen."
Wow, really?!? That's hardly a punishment commensurate to the crime! I realize that the penalty needs to be stiff enough to discourage future theft, but... 100 times the value? Until such time as you decide to lock containers and we have to use a "lockpick" skill (that way stealing is definitely intentional), having a pop-up that says, "Warning: opening this container could be interpreted as stealing by the guards, resulting in hefty fines! Continue?" might be nice.

 

This is just another example of how far gone they are with the taking money from players.I do not think they have any real connection with how the players feel. Here's the point players can't have all thier gold taken away at every turn.
They need to understand that we are real people who have spent our real hard earned cash on this game. We can not work hard, pay for this game, come home from work to play and feel poor after spending hours of our free time playing this game.

 

Typical of their mentality. Instead of heuristically picking a reasonable value, why not pick an absurd number then multiply or divide it by 2 in case our notion of absurdity is off?

The goal is obviously to move unilaterally toward reasonable instead of risking another checkpoint situation... The problem is they do this almost everywhere and seemingly forget about the improvement part and just leave us with an absurdly punishing game with fewer and fewer moments of satisfaction.
