$600 Botched Fiverr Commission Gets a Happy Ending!

Recommended Posts

A lot has been said about the negativity and toxicity of the WoW community, but we have quite the opposite example today. The recent masterpiece of a $600 Fiverr commission got a lot of attention in the community, with LimeSucker, the player that ordered the painting having posted it to reddit himself. It was supposed to be an awesome high-profile and obviously expensive piece of the author and his friends' characters, but turned out like this, with some characters even just pasted in from the reference doc that was sent to the artist:

Today we have a truly happy ending to the story, as LimeSucker has posted an update, explaining how he's not only received very helpful tips on how to get proper commissions in the future, but also received offers from artists to create something for him! But the happy ending doesn't end there either, as some community members also pointed out that he could dispute the payment on PayPal directly, which he did and... he actually got his money back!! And on top of that, the "artist's" account on Fiverr has been removed as well!

We're also very happy that we may have had something to do with it, as LimeSucker talks about his friends' reactions from reading our post on the matter: "What I really didn't expect is an article on IcyVeins and one on JudgeHype, some of my friends who weren't part of the project discovered what happened and their reactions on Discord are just way too much :') I get called an idiot a lot, but I like it that way."

And so the story had a very happy ending, with the WoW community coming through and helping a lot, which is just amazing news. Here's the full reddit post:

Quote

For a bit of context, I posted on monday the result of a 600$ commission some friends and I made for digital art on Fiverr : This was the result, in case you want a good laugh

I have to admit that I did not anticipate the reactions and I'm clearly thankful to you all, you've been so nice to me. Truly a great community !

You guys helped me realize how dumb I have been with my commission, and how I shouldn't trust people so easily with such an amount of money. I received a lot of tips on how to properly look for and commission an artist for digital art.I also received a lot of DMs of artists asking if they could draw something for me, and even though I could not accept them all I thank you all for that !

When I had lost hope that Fiverr would do anything, people pointed out that PayPal could be of use, and I started a dispute and got refunded even though my order had been closed for some time ! So thank you once again...

Love you all (even the guy who insulted me on DM, that made me laugh thanks)

Edit : I forgot to add that after the dispute with PayPal went through, the guy's account on Fiverr seems to be gone... I guess that confirms it was a scam ?

That are very nice news. I have best wishes for LimeSucker that he get a wonderful piece of art from another artist, which is actually dedicated in his/her work. Also it is good that the account of the scamtist is deleted.

      Today's hotfixes are retail-heavy, with Renown-related NPCs getting fixed, as well as the troll heritage quest, and timewalking issues with the Trading Post, with a Hunter fix in Cata Classic as well.
      May 16 (Source)
      WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria
      Fixed a bug that initially prevented players who did not own Dragonflight from being able to learn Dragonriding from Lord Andestrasz in Remix: Pandaria. This was unintended. Non-Player Characters
      Jenafur has managed to wash off the strange grey paint that also changed her eye color. Jenafur is now once again a properly striped feline, allegedly. Melsysra fell back asleep and found their way back to the Central Encampment in the Emerald Dream, allowing players to continue with their Renown quests. Newsy was slow retrieving mail but has had a successful trip to the postmaster in Dalaran, allowing players to return to Loamm and continue with their Renown quests. Alleria and Umbric are now always present as expected for quest completion. Quests
      Fixed a bug that prevented Trolls from unlocking the “Loa’s Blade-Blessing” cosmetic sword appearance if they finished the heritage questline with a character who couldn’t use it. Players will find the sword in their collection after logging into the character who completed the questline. Trading Post
      Fixed an issue where multiple completions of a Timewalking dungeon would not count toward the associated Trading Post activity.
      Cataclysm Classic
      Hunter The Ancient Hysteria effect from Hunter Corehound pets will now clear properly after encounters end.

      Find out how to obtain the elusive Tusks of Mannoroth and Garrosh's long-removed heirloom weapons in WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria.
      While the Heirlooms from Garrosh have been removed with the release of Patch 6.0, there's a way to get them now in WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. The same can be said about the Tusks of Mannoroth that currently have an abysmal drop rate on live servers.
      However, Blizzard has changed the Siege of Orgrimmar lockout to daily with Patch 10.2.7 until August 19, so you'll at least have more chances to loot that or the Kor'kron Juggernaut mount.
      Now, to obtain the Garrosh Heirlooms, you will need to farm something called Bones of Mannoroth. This item drops from Garrosh Hellscream in the Siege of Orgrimmar in MoP Remix on Normal difficulty and higher. Currently, we do not know how many bones will drop from a single kill, but you can kill the boss every day due to the lockout changes.
      In addition to bones, you will need to farm a hefty amount of Bronze too! Tusks of Mannoroth cost a whopping 38500 Bronze and 20 Bones of Mannoroth. 
      The heirlooms (e.g. Hellscream's Decapitator) cost 8000 Bronze and 2 Bones of Mannoroth each.
      Talk to Pythagorus at any infinite bazaar in the game to buy the items.
      Oh, and you can also buy the Mythic Garrosh mount, Kor'kron Juggernaut, for 38500 Bronze from the mount vendor.
      For more details, check out our MoP Remix rewards guide!

      Reddit user contidivide has created a useful app for tracking your bronze purchases. It contains a list of all items you can buy from the vendors during MoP remix and all costs!
      For more details head over to Remix Checklist!

      The app was inspired by Kalsith's spreadsheet posted on Reddit a month ago, so if you prefer to create your own copy and use it locally, you will find it here. It contains all prices and items available from the vendors.
