Placed 4 items in the Forge and recieved nothing in Return

As the title says; I put 4 accessory items (they were purchased with karma – the kind that can’t be sold "dis enchanted) or otherwise used, only destroyed) in the Forge, hit the “Forge” button and received nothing in return.

Also possibly relevant to this problem, I had no “recipe” or anything (wasn’t aware there were such things and still not sure if the are necessary for every use of the Forge). This is the first time I’ve attempted to use the Forge. The items were 2 duplicates of the same two items (so still a total of four just a variety of 2 types of item that is) and were of differing level. Pretty sure all four were of the “blue” variety also if that matters.

At the very least I would expect them rejected but the items were I guess “used up” in some fashion but I received no product. I’m assuming any product would show up in my inventory where I had plenty of open slots, if it ends up somewhere else I have no idea where that would be, there definitely isn’t anything new in my bags though. So far as I can tell those 4 items are just plain gone.

I sent in an in game ticket to a GM but, of the dozen or so I’ve sent (pretty much exclusively concerning bugs) I haven’t gotten so much as an acknowledgement on any, kind of doubting I’ll get one for this either so I came here hoping for help. It could be, and I’m hoping, there is just something simple I’ve missed due to my inexperience with the Forge. Any help will be very much appreciated and I thank you in advance.

P.S Should I post this in the bug forums also or maybe just there exclusively? Wasn’t sure exactly which forum this would classify for.

No! We do care! I promise!!

I’m working on getting in fixes for the few instances were the system allows for this, but unfortunately, the fix is going to take some time. It’s not an easy one.

After reading this post and other post’s about the mystic kitten forge if kittening, I have come up with the worst possible scenario imho.
Your going for eternity, the forge has been super nice to you so far (between 50-100 tries for dawn and dusk). You get all your mystic clover’s at about 40% success rate. You also manage to get both sunrise and twilight made.
Now the kicker you find out the 2 other item’s you need, put all 4 item’s into the mystic kitten forge of kittening and get nothing.
There have been report’s of people not getting anything back from the mystic forge, so why can’t it happen when crafting a legendary?

Again this is the absolute worst scenario happening with the mystic forge, great idea very bad implementation.

My 2 cent’s.

I’ll tell you why it can’t happen. Because the issue is in certain instances in the recipe database that deal with chucking random items in. None of the specific recipes have this issue. ESPECIALLY not the Legendaries.
