    Question Large guild chest amenity

    Yes haters and fan-boys I know I should have read the fine print, BUT seriously why is the guild chest amenity the only one (Up to our boat at level 58 anyway) that doesn't follow the pattern? I was rebuying time for our amenities and as I went to each one it was 5 if it was gone, and 4 if not. So I bought 4 of the Large guild chest. Only needed/could use one. Spent a HUGE chunk of plat on nothing. Can't even sell it back at a loss. Basically just lose 3 bank slots until a month passes then use one or trash almost 100K plat. Why is this not prevented like it is at the other stores? The mechanic won't let me buy Cure Serious pots in more than 100 stacks at a time presumably to make transactions stay at a certain ceiling, so why does the boat not follow suit? And why can't I at least sell the excess back even if at a loss? Why is the time on the chest the same as all the other amenities or a warning message not displayed/lockout of quantity like pots? I am not really ranting but seriously asking why this isn't coded the same way as the rest of the game?

    It states in the description that each one is good for a month. I made the same mistake way back when with the small guild chest.

    Just stick it in your bank until you need to renew it. Just look at it this way: You don't have to guy another for 3 months.

    Yes haters and fan-boys
    Great way to start a thread, then you go off and start whining about how you failed to read some simple text and that it's Turbine's fault. Why do you need a warning when it's already given to you in the description? You chose to not read it.

    Nothing needs to be changed here except for perhaps reading skills. The first thing you noticed was the price difference, that should have made you stop and look and see what the difference was between the chest amenity and others.

    So anyone that calls you out on not paying attention and disagreeing with you is a troll? That is some good logic you got going there bub.

    I didn't notice the price difference. I didn't look at the price at all. Your post brings nothing positive so begone! I want this amenity to follow the rest of the game's mechanics. I ADMIT FULLY that it was my fault for not looking closer, BUT I shouldn't have to look closer when chests are the ONLY exception to the rule. My legitimate question, WHICH WAS NOT WHINING, was why the chests don't follow that rule or that there wasn't a sell back option. The first statement was simply that I didn't want your kind, who would bring nothing positive, to post at all. Get back under your bridge.

    That's the first part of your problem. Caveat Emptor.

    But seriously, blaming Turbine for your own negligence? Hey, relax guy!

    when you start off agontistic, don't be suprised if people call you on it. If this were real life, I would (at minimum) tune you at, but probably just walk away. If you caught me on an already bad day, you might just get me back in your face, cussing swearing and all that jazz.

    just something to think about.

    tl;dr

    if you put out troll bait, expect to get trolls.

    umm how about no. This is a forum run by Turbine, not by you. Posts don't have to be positive to be valid.

    I stated my opinion that you should have paid more attention and others agree with me.

    Why do the chests work differently? Who knows. But they do.

    Default Way to derail the thread! You guys rock!

    I didn't start off antagonistic. I started by saying that I know it was on me for not reading the small print. I knew some would point that out regardless of the fact that I admitted it myself. Those people do bring nothing positive in that they are restating something in the OP for the purpose of derailing or making themselves look better. I'm out 100k plat short term as I can still use the items at a later date, and have well over a million on one character so ultimately no big loss. I learned a lesson, so that's good too. I was legitimatly asking the question of why it alone is different.

    As to the guy who threatened to get in my face. I doubt it. Way to hide behind your PC and act all tough! If you met me you wouldn't. I could run through my resume, but it would just look like puffed up big talk from the safety of my PC; and you got that covered nicely.

    That isn't antagonistic? Or do you just legitimately not know what antagonistic means?

    I think it's pretty clear from this thread that OP isn't exactly chairing any English departments.

    IBTL... Guess everyone is cranky burning off cove trash to clear inventory... Can I buy new chests with gold cove coins next time?
