Do you get mad when you go thru a drive thru and not get what you ordered? same thing. Imagine a manager at McDonalds saying something like "We know that order efficiency is a problem. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention!" without remedying the problem with the correct order for free or taking care of the employee that did it wrong and a few months later you still aren't getting orders correctly.

Originally posted by Jean-Luc_Picard It's not about the bug. It about someone paying for something that does not work. In my opinion companies should be held accountable just like with real life items. If I buy something I want it to be in perfect order. If one thing is broken I want a new one or repaired even if that one thing is not "Ïtem breaking" and the items would still work as good.
EDIT: To me it just not about this thing, but what would we allow? If the whole thing would not display? If only the shirt displayed it would be ok? |

Originally posted by Elfahiar It's annoying, no doubt, but definitely not theft or game breaking. I own glasses which display just fine, so it's really just a localized bug. You still own the item, and it will be visible as soon as the bug is fixed. All I can say is that if it was me buying some headgear and seeing it's not working, I'd have searched about a bug, and seeing it's just unintended, I'd have waited patiently. As I said, I rather have my town clothe's headgear not working than my weapon damage reduced to 0 or my armor not working properly. At least I can still play the game at 100% efficiency. There's only one truth. And it's not yours. |

I think that's pretty bad that it's still for sale in the gem shop when they know it is bugged. I'd be annoyed too if I were you, OP, and I think they should reimburse your gems. I'm not a "hater" of ANet or GW2 by any means, but if I'm understanding the situation correctly, this is crappy customer service. |

Aside from a lot of hypocritical or unnecessary statements from some of the guys defending you and some that are attacking you OP, just contact support and also be patient. A-NET clearly isn't trying to rob you(That was what the title use to have just in different words), if this issue occured with any other developer my response would be the same, even for EA. I like how defenders didn't see the issue in that statement(That let's be honest is not right in any way what so ever) made, but it's okay let's play the pretend game as usual. To be honest shit like this happens, I'd be heated to, would I go make assumptions and bring it into a forum that in all honesty can't help...not my thing, maybe for the warning aspect sure, except I'd get right to the point rather than making false statements or crazy exaggerations. Someone brought up a real life situation, okay let's put it this way, if a one of the many products aren't working as intended, do they stop selling all of the products?!?!? Though we are talking about a video game, so they notice there is an issue with (Can't say some or many)people, was it all, and did it increase? If no to those questions then obviousely like all video games with issues like this there will be a patch that will most likely fix the issue. It's also visual, its' not the sheer fact you bought it and got nothing, it's clearly visual. I don't have an issue that you are warning people, but the way you yourself stated the shit did give issues, if it was your way on this forum your main goal was to just belittle the company for a mistake just like some of the hypocrites defending you getting on "fanbois" for belittling you which is wrong in itself as well. I understan your upset but it is not the end of the world, now I can't say no time limit but usually unless A-NET are really dumb, it's going to be fixed. Hell some only agree with you because they can't comprehend the fact that Ascendent gear can be obtain not just by fractals and isn't even gating content, it's not even a necessity, but they will keep reminding everyone in almost every single thread about the opposite.(I'm just getting into the nitty gritty of the actual main concern, it may have not been literally said but it's the actual issue.) Note: I use the word some as it's obvious who it is that's really just here on a agenda(check trends of post it's obvious let's not play that game of dumbass), now am I perfect no, is anybody in the entire world perfect? hell no even developers OMFG mind boggling. I do hope your issue is fixed soon I personally haven't ran into the visual issue myself, good luck OP. Peace out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-IIn-DG-c Try to argue this please. Oh also if you quote me and it's to argue my point, if I don't respond it means I haven't been corrected by you and/or I haven't seen it. Remember I don't mind admitting I am in the wrong. Take care :D |

guys, please stop telling about need of town clothe and such. we have choice to buy *look* or not, so decision belongs to customer. GW2 forum (I hope you don't need me to insert link) show us in a bug section, that last maintenance (not even update) bough back *old bugs* fixed sometime ago + added new. I logged in to look how it is and started scratch myself =XD, it was full of bugs, sorry to tell. NOW about sell non-shown item supposed to give you cool look. Lets tell I go to boutique *BRAND NAME* (no free publicity from me, soz), and buy there, lets say, a bag. I go out of shop, look my bag: OMG horror! *BN* not shown anywhere! I know it's not a drama, just annoying case. Again it show how *good" custom service is. Hope never find anything like that in real life. try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises. |

This goes to in game purchased items as well. I know at least 10 people in my guild bought the armor boxes from the new laurel vendor, only to have it say "Content has been disabled" So they wasted their laurels(that you can only get ONE per day) on something that doesnt work. Fan of the game, not of these business practices. The Deep Web is sca-ry. |

Originally posted by botrytis I agree. Arenanet never promised the item to cause a displayable effect. They got an item and if they expect the effect of the item to be 100% working then they haven't done their homework. Bugs happen, Arenanet didn't break any promise or act "unethical", they gave you the item you bought and they have no reason to give anyone a refund.
Next time someone buys anything: stop assuming that they work like you think they do, read what you are actually buying and what your rights are so that you don't complain afterwards. |

Originally posted by Toxia know someone that had that happen to them but they got their laurels refunded( took a few days after the ticket).. seems like good buisness practice to me.. this is also a company that was refunding people money for a game AFTER they had played for weeks and reached cap.. I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

* Sucks that it isn't working for you. I'm sorry your town clothes headgear is not displaying. * They know that there is a problem and it should be rectified in an upcoming patch. Even without an ETA, I would not expect this to persist beyond the 26th. * That said, all my town clothes head gear seems to be working just fine. * Again, I'm sorry it's not working. Maybe there should be a disclaimer or something, but it's defintely not a gamebreaking issue and should be rectified. I do believe that it should be taken care of in a timely manner and perhaps there will be some sort of compensation, but they are not trying to steal anything from you or be dishonest. We’ll stop to sleep when the game is the best possible game we think it can be. We’ve seen the population of the game steadily rising lately and we’re not going to sit on our butts and congratulate one another, we’re going to try and build on that momentum and make the game even better. -Colin johanson on GW2 |

As far as the topic goes... I think I am not going to avoid the store as it has never given me a problem and if it did it would not be such a big deal that I would feel the need to post on a public forum as I know from experience these things tend to work out on their own without me attempting to slander a company in any fashion. That's logical as nobody here could possibly help me with any problem in game and it's not emotional as I am not "moved" to convince strangers to see things my way.
The scary part is one day the world will be run by adults who were never spanked as kids and got trophies just for participating. |

Originally posted by TwoThreeFour Rubbish, of course fluff clothing should display. This is an item sold in a cash shop, if it doesn't work it should not be for sale, this is a very poor practice, if it does not work, don't sell it.

aww I see a great potential here =D I guess I'll open net-shop and sell you items which JUST does not display, as I never told it would. With such customers I could buy my own game in no time. =XD try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises. |

Originally posted by Lovely_Laly Everyone needs to chill. The reason the items are still being sold and they aren't sending out refunds is because its not a bug with a specific item. The option to hide/unhide headgear became bugged with the most recent patch. It will display for some and won't for others. If it isn't displaying for you, don't freak out, they are working on fixing the bug.
Again, this item is still being sold because the bug isn't affecting everyone. It's only affecting those that had hide helmet selected prior to the most recent patch.
