One miss-click

#0 - June 9, 2010, 6:01 p.m.

About two weeks ago I was on my warrior, which was holding a Mechano-Hog for an up and coming 80 rogue. I was re-arranging my bags, due to me having a mix of 14 slots (because I was waiting for a friend to make me some frostweave bags), when a saw a cast bar to learn my Mechano-hog. Immediately I began to move to stop it, however since I was in Dalaran at the time, and my internet isn't the best, my attempt was futile, and now my warrior was stuck with the burden of becoming my main. I opened a ticket, which but to no avail, because it seems as though I can't get it returned.

I began searching why it couldn't get refunded and came upon a thread that had someone miss-click a spectral tiger. People told him it couldn't get refunded because it was part of a meta achievement ( so and so mounts one). However I've heard of the infamous Ensidia incident, where they had their world first revoked due to "miss" using an item unintentionally. I was wondering what makes my case any different (either than the fact that I'm not "exploiting").

I'm Wondering if I could get the achievement revoked on my warrior, and switched to my rogue. It doesn't seem like a big problem, but 15k gold is a lot, and it certainly sucks when I'm bound to play a character that was made to help my friends out (with Tank queues).

I'm afraid that you've already received an accurate response regarding this situation. While I realize that it can be quite frustrating to experience to learn a mount on a character that isn't your main (I learned an X-51 Nether-Rocket X-TREME on one character, then promptly switched mains when Wrath came out >.<), this isn't the kind of situation in which our staff are typically able to intervene =/.

I wish you luck on making your Rogue a force to be reckoned with, and I hope that you can still enjoy the Mechanohog when you find occasion to play Widescreen.
