CCP will reverse the transaction; you just have to be patient for the petition to get answered.

It's rare, and they risk potential ban, but however many billions ISK you paid for the character CAN be used for a week on the market to make some profit, until CCP reverts the transaction.

He was a big Iwantisk gambler so i assume he used it on there to earn him self a pretty penny after losing alot he the dya before he sold the char.

Well, the transaction will be reversed and you'll get your money back even if it puts him in negative wallet.

He could have actually sent the character, however typed in the wrong account name. Regardless, CCP are very helpful when it comes to the transfers.

You'll have your new toon soon!

CSM X Summit II Minutes wrote:
GM Grave opened the meeting with an overview of what they've been doing over the last year. He showed some graphs for how well and how quickly tickets have been responded to. The satisfaction rating is very good, but the waiting time is not good at this time, with too many tickets taking more than a day to be answered. CS has had a few issues dealing with some live incidents and holidays. At this time, the average response rate for complex issues take 2-3 days. 32% of tickets take less than an hour to solve, while 47% of tickets take more than 24 hours. Mike asked how old the oldest ticket in the system is, with the answer being several months. GM Grave pointed out though that those tickets are not the first response, and are generally those escalated to the lead GMs, and are highly complex issues sometimes even involving development. He then added that generally the longest waiting times are about a week. Sugar stated that she hears people saying "my ticket has been waiting for a few weeks". GM Grave explained that sometimes tickets are misfiled, and find their way into some non-CS queues such as the Security team queue. He added that in most instances where the waiting time is excessive, some compensation is granted especially if there is an issue that prevents the player from playing.



CCP has to investigate the ticket so it will be a while before you will get an answer.
