I want my 59g back

Harkrider

I feel very cheated by what has recently transpired. For those of you who don't know, there is caravan in Reaper's March with various (gambling) activities and games. One of these activities is Lizard Racing. In order to compete in this game, contestants must first pay an entry fee and then pick one of the lizards available to race.

This is where money comes into the picture. The idea is simple, everyone pays a fee toward the pot and the victor collects it (after Hadran takes his cut). Three lizards race from one end of the 'track' to the other, and the first one to reach the other side is the winner.

It's all very exciting, except there's one major flaw with the system. The winner doesn't actually receive any prize whatsoever. Whaaaat? Yeah, you heard right, there's an entry fee but no reward!

This type of practice is unacceptable.

Needless to say, my lizard won the race and I fully expect my 59g to be returned to me. You can donate the rest of my winnings to a charity.

Good day.

Really? I played that for quite some time a while back and was sure I was getting the money when I won.... but maybe I wasn't :P

I have been complaining about the lack of in game mini-games with actual rewards since the very beginning of the beta.

This is such a huge missed opportunity for ZOS ...

How about the race where I sprinted through the earth? I DEMAND A REFUND! I took off from the start lone slow and steady (it wins races you know) then I decided it was time to pick it the pace once we reached the first bend. I was in second place right on the heels of first when we came upon the cave. I saw first was getting tired, she was panting like a lazy Senche sun bathing mid-noon, so I bolted past her right into the cave! BOOM! I had first place in the bag, I was going to win this thing! I glanced over my shoulder and saw third was missing. The little cheat took a short cut and came out of a hole on the wall to my right luckily I was far enough ahead that he came out right behind me. I turned my attention back to my front and before I knew it my foot caught on an invisible force and I was swallowed up by the ground!! I was so close to winning. I fell for what felt like forever before being granted the sweet release of death. Lucky for me I saved a piece of myself in a soul gem and was able to resurrect and give the race coordinator a good tongue lashing for his tomfoolery. I'm sure it was his fault but the cheapskate won't compensate me for my gold because there was supposedly no proof I was winning or even died. I am so furious right now!

I once tripped on a rock and went flying all the way across Cyrodiil! Don't I get my name in a book of records? Come on, this was an amazing feat!

I did a quest few days ago which involved me having to buy Exotic fruits which cost (845g each x 6). I presumed the reward will give back my gold or at least be equal, being curious I played along. Following this logic once I completed the quest I got the option to safe the village or the sell the item. I naturally thought if I sell the item I will get all my gold back .............Be warned if you come across such quest.

Your lizard was probably caught pulling a Lance Armstrong hence they didn't pay out ?

You obviously don't understand how serious this is.

Now it's September and this bug is still not fixed. I won twice but didn't get anything back. Next time I see some kind of minigame, I'll just ignore it.

clearly Gamebreaking.

For those of you who seem to let the true point of this thread go over their heads, allow me to make an attempt at clarification. I'm pretty sure the OP isn't too upset about the fact that he/she lost 59g, but more so the fact that he/she discovered yet another thing that is broken with the game..

Yeah, well I had to pay 630+ gold to some guy to get another guy's daughter back because I didn't have the Fighter's Guild ability Intimidate. Man, I stood there swinging my sword on that guy for five minutes wanting to kill him so bad but it wasn't allowed. I had only two choices: pay the ransom or Intimidate him. So I paid the ransom and then killed every other person in that town. Man I was mad.
