Blizzard continues to amaze. I looted a valuable item that the game would not let me auction or vendor. I queried Blizz. They provided "restoration" and warned me that each player is granted only a limited number of restorations for virtual property: while they understand that "accidents can happen" (wtf?), I should be more careful with my stuff in future.
That's bizarre. The thing was broken when I got it. How could I be more careful? WTF was I supposed to do to prevent looting a broken item? Man, there are times when I would like to stuff "user error" up some people's sanctimonious behinds.
Incidentally, "restoration" seems to consist of removing the item from my inventory. I dunno, maybe they gave me the couple of gold it was worth at a vendor. I don't keep exact track of that toon's finances, but I doubt they'd have given me the tens of gold it was worth at auction. Oh, well. I'm no worse off than I was before I queried. At least that.

The loan company applied huge fees as a consequence of their own negligence, and we reached the end of our patience and said no. We assumed this would end the process and we'd get our earnest money back (because we weren't walking, but only refusing an unexpected and unwarranted fee); but then the seller called. She really can't afford to put it back on the market and the deadline was only a bluff by her agent.
The loan company promptly required Yet Another bit of paperwork that they should have asked for weeks ago if they really need it, which we can only assume they don't. My honey is dutifully providing it. I don't know whether he is agreeing to the outrageous fees. Nor what else the loan company will ask for when they find he's able to fulfill their latest request.
Who knows what weevils lurk in the hearts of men?
