Game stealing my gold when accessing a crafting station

Since new patch, every time I access a working station (woodworking, jewelry, clothing or blacksmithing) I lose 6k gold. Not sure if this is intended, but I lost 500k gold while doing writs on my characters.
I got a video showing it, just want to make sure it's not just me.

    Do you have a cp swapping addon of some kind?

    Swapping out slottable stars does not cost gold. Redistributing CP does.

    Yep, and 6k gold sounds like the cost of redistributing CP twice. I'd be curious to know if they have Meticulous Dissasembly unlocked and slotted, or if CP is being redistributed to unlock it when they craft.

    If we are talking about Jack of all Trades, I just tested it. Unequipped Met. Dis., activated some crafting stations, stepped away from it, checked that Met. Dis. is now slotted. No change in gold.

    Must be a specific bug then.

    Yeah but 6k sounds like respeccing champion points twice...

    Jack of All Trades is just one CP add-on, though, and the author is very clear that it’s a swapping add-on, not a respeccing one. (I can confirm that’s my experience too.) There are other CP add-ons that may be doing this, unintentionally or otherwise.

    Then we shall wait for OP to tell us which one is in use.

    Apparently it was ChampionPointsSlots. It's very weird because you don't spend gold for slotting a different star manually, but the addon somehow bypasses the 30 seconds cooldown and slots and unslots CPs twice in 3 seconds, while still spending gold for a respect (even if it doesn't change any point). From what I know, there should not be a way to bypass the 30 seconds cooldown the devs added to the new system. Apparently some addons can do that and that's very odd.

    OP might have lower CP than you do, so the add-on, if they have one, could be pulling the points from other stars when they interact with the station, and putting them back when they leave. 2 respecs, 6,000 gold. It's the first day after 2 weeks of free respecs, so the first time players would notice.

    Maybe empty your pockets and see the what and why it wants to charge you? Instead of it doing so automatically?

    I don't have this issue with crafting stations -> Just checked. Check your addons I would say, there's something screwing up.

    Either way I feel as if we don't need to pay for CP changes anymore. Get rid of this crap.

    we are not being charged for changing cp in any way at this time. remember, we are on an event: heroes reforged or something like that. and slotting stars wont cost.

    it is not slotting stars? it is a fast cp swap from cp 1.0?

    cp changes and star are not the same. we will have to pay to redistribute cp points just as before this event. but not stars

    That's.... oh, that's pretty funny actually. HALF A MILLION! How did you not notice or do anything or bank your gold? I mean, you noticed enough to see it was 6k "every time".

    The event is still running for consoles, because they got the update later. But it's finished on PC.

    Well, since an add-on seems to be the cause, it must be a PC issue ;)

    so it has ended? well seems like op had a cp reslotter active and not a star slotter and that was the problem. i have removed all cp slotters from my addons until i figure out what i am gonna do.

    You need to update the title of this thread, OP. The game didn't "steal" your gold, it's your reliance on addons that "stole" your gold.
