Actually that reference is the follow-up ticket to the original as it was a problem with the first. I didn't go into extreme detail but the reason for this reply is as an update and formal thank you. Yesterday afternoon I did recieve my hammer in the mail exactly the way it originally was. I'm not sure who to thank exactly so I will thank the whole support staff. I was truly ready to hear that I would not get it back. I literally jumped out of my chair when I saw that mail!
The hammer was crafted by a friend, 110 OD, +16, clean tier 8, and 4 slotted with X runes. It was not the most powerful weapon but it was very dear to me and I was not looking forward to replacing it. For others with support issues, trust that these people are doing the best job they can and are honestly interested in helping. Kudos and a big thank you once again.
