Anyone else get guildbank freebies?

Heindrich · November 2015

In the last patch many people lost out because most stacks of 200 in guild banks randomly got cut down to 183. I was told that the fault will be addressed with the maintenance that just took place last night.

This morning I find that almost all my stacks increased to over 200. Some to 217, some to 230, some to 250! I didn't keep an accurate inventory of my guildbank, but I don't think my items were somehow restacked, so it appears I've just got a bunch of free alchemy flowers and other relatively cheap materials, which is still a significant sum of value for most people. However, I would be shocked if more greedy people didn't try to get freebies by placing stacks of valuable items like Tempering Alloy and Kuta into their GB last night, and judging by the evidence of my guildbank, they just got a lot of very valuable freebies.

Please look into this zenimax. Yes I benefited from whatever you did last night, but this is not right and it destroys my confidence in the guild bank system as a whole. I shouldn't have to keep accurate excels spread sheet accounts of my guild bank to make sure I don't gain or lose stuff randomly.

Yes, all my guild bank stacks of 183 became either 217, 234, or 250 after the most recent incremental patch. Only a handful of them were actually 200, but hey, I ain't complainin'.

Gina said that it wouldn't be possible to gain extra freebies just by adding stacks of 183 to the bank. The patch should only have affected those items that were lost previously. Is it possible that 17/34/50 items of the same type had been added by your members before the patch?

Basic math skills are obviously not one of the job requirements at Zenimax.

In the 2 guild banks I manage every stack of 200 was reduced to 183 by the Orsinium patch (and that's a lot of stacks - those 2 banks lost literally thousands of crafting mats). I made sure that those guild banks weren't touched at all between then and yesterday's patch. After yesterday's patch some of those stacks (perhaps 1/4 of them) were back at 200 where they should have been. The rest were all at 217, 234, or 250. So between those 2 guild banks, there are now literally thousands of extra crafting mats.

As I said in another thread, I'm not complaining about tons of free mats, but I am a little confused by it. Also, I can't restack them to 200, because I'll run out of guild bank space... My slight OCD tendencies are kind of getting to me.
