Item recovery criteria question

[Chnachnoum]

I understand this request will probably be out of the item recovery criteria applied by Nostalrius, which is perfectly understandable. I still submit it as I could not find a list of clear criteria.

I am a warrior prot, I did the quest "Incendius !" in BRD requesting to kill Lord Incendius.
I picked the stalwart clutch belt (300 armor 12 stamina 12 def) as a reward but then quickly sold it as it was a green one and I probably had the valor belt on at the time.
I simply did not realize how difficult It would be to get Def later in the game. There is no other belt with def on in game to my knowledge and certainly not +12 def.
This is not an Item I can get back playing as it is a quest Item.
Now I understand it was my mistake not to be aware levels in advance of game evolution.
Still I am trapped with a significantly diminished toon at this stage. there Is nothing I can do really to get to def cap without that belt as far as I know, now that I am digging through the issue.
So I feel it was a trappy "no way back" situation in game to be honest.
So if you feel at all that this is close to any of your criteria I would appreciate a rescue here. Otherwise I understand I can still survive and this was my mistake.
Thank you so much otherwise for the great service.

They don't restore anything besides the onyxia attunement neck and lost raid loot due to server crashs/rollbacks with the quality of epic or above.

That really sucks. I just hit my soft cap (420) yesterday and I would not have that without the belt in question.

to try and make up for it you could get some Core Armor Kits http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=18251

Chest Legs Hands Feet +3 defense that would give you +12 defense.

Also, search the Auction House for green boots with defense. I found a green pair of boots with +12 defense for 5g -- while that looks shitty, it's 12 defense and getting crushing blows is shittier than those boots.

These core armors are not in game , are they ? I am at 420 Def now thanks to ALL DMW items including the bracer on warlock summonable boss. Still the belt lacks. I'll be looking for those boots and farming Scholo now for the Deathbone Chest. Thank you for your answers people. Still waiting an answer from administrators to be honest.

The patches are available, looked on the AH Sunday PVP horde, they were going for 25g a pop.

As for a GM answer, I can 100% guarantee you that they will not restore your items. I read through a handful of even more significant losses to while they said "no." The only exception they make is for Raid items Epic or higher and you need to have a screenshot and the raid instance # as proof before they will even consider it.

You wont need defcap until Broodlord in BWL, before that it is not needed in any ways. Also by that time, you should have t1 belt anyways.

Thank you people for your answers. I have now up to 433 def with two pieces of the death bone set. I have the full set btw and the full T0 too and many other pieces. I will stop crying about that belt. The full T0 is kind of useless but you have to admit that the skin is fantastic. So goldy, so bling-bling.
