Spirit Shards

I submitted a ticket because I have Spirit Shards in my bank that were not converted. The response I got was quite perplexing.

It reads:

SO why would I get a response about game suggestions when my ticket was asking why my spirit shards were not converted? Apparently GM Teildemona was working on several other petitions and got distracted. I have submitted another in-game ticket. Could I please get a more appropriate response?

Thank you

It's possible correspondence did get crossed here, Bersbear.

But to answer your question - Spirit Shards didn't get converted to cash. Yes, I know what the notes said, that, however did not happen and to my knowledge, is not going to.

Q u o t e:
aye, it is possible that the message was crossed. The patch notes didn't say cash, they said they were converted to Honor Points. My other toons shards are gone so I assume they were converted. Guildies have said their were converted as well.


Hmmm, I'd have to go back and re-read those. I remember a mention of conversion, but I know they didn't on my characters.
