Equipped Gear Deleted By Script

Posting this here as I meant to post here originally instead of in general support:

So on my main character Kushdog I was playing as usual last night and was watching a twitch.tv stream of a Nostalrius player when he posted a script in the chat and said to target a player and use it as a joke, and ignorantly I did so twice without noticing anything, but what happened instead was the script had unequipped and immediately deleted all my gear by deleting the bags they were in. As you can imagine this is extremely disheartening and I did not intend to do this in any way. The event occurred around 22:47 server on October 2nd 2015. I am hoping there is someway that my character might be able to be rollbacked before the event or recover what was lost in any fashion. I simply logged off shortly after the incident and have only logged back in a few times to check if anything had changed. It is extremely disheartening to lose all the progress I had made at level 60 in an instant and I'm not sure what to do. This is what my character looked like before http://realmplayers.com/CharacterViewer ... er=Kushdog but now he is simply naked in Tanaris. I have lost many irreplaceable items as it stands including Rhok'delar, Blackhand's Breadth etc. and in the future would never post a script I do not know what it does. I accept responsibility and do not attempt to put this blame on anyone else, it's simply that I've never had experience with someone doing something so malicious out of the blue that is was just very surprising. I also posted a project on report.nostalrius.org that contained the script but I am not sure I did that properly, and since then cannot reproduce it as I didn't save the script anywhere. I hope you can see that I didn't sell the items by checking logs or anything like that and that this is an earnest attempt to retrieve what is a devastating loss to me right now. Please let me know the best course of action.

Thank you in advance for anything you might be able to do.

The staff doesn't restore gear, especially gear deleted by you inputting a game script that you had no idea what it did. That's essentially giving a hacker your social security number and credit card information. Scripts can do anything on your client. This is entirely your own fault.

No precedent for this kind of thing.

I hope they ban the guy.

Yeah, the most you can hope for is getting the guy who tricked you banned.

But you're fucking retarded for falling for this shit. I thought people learned their lesson after a bunch of kids lost their gear because of that macro being posted on 4chan a while back.

Greetings,

Unfotunately we do not restore any equipment from situations which are not covered in Terms of Use.
It was a joke or not you executed a script without knowing what he does.

Greetings,

I can assure you that is a very serious response. If you have any gear which has been lost in one of the situations covered by Terms of Use, than we will restore that item.
That script could have been a cheat, could have done something which is not allowed by our server rules.

We are very serious when we talk about our rules and how we apply them.

Regards,
GM Team

Sad times Kushdog, hope you reroll and never copy paste a script again from a stranger.
