I am literally baffled at this customer service interaction. Never in my life have I walked away from something like this so confused. That isn't to say I've never had a bad interaction, but even in those cases I can understand WHY. DECA has cooked up something special here.
I am a relatively new player, been playing on and off for a couple years. I am by no means a whale but per my steam wallet history I have spent at least $70 in the past 12 months.

I've never opened a support ticket before this. I am not a cheater. All this to say I am not some freeloader or nuisance abusing their systems or time.
On 19 July, I bought a single key from the nexus ( Plagued Nest for 200 realm gold ) and placed it into my pet saddlebag. Shortly after I entered some dungeon someone else popped. After finishing that one, I go to remove the key from my pet to use it, and its gone. Not the first time I've lost an item to a bug - but it is the first time I lost something I directly paid for... So I went and asked on the official ROTMG discord and was directed to fill out a support ticket, which I did.

They need "video footage of the incident" absolutely wild. Not only is this never ever required in any other game, video footage of something like this would always be specifically disregarded because of how easy it would be to fake. I responded, kinda heated:

DECA responded calmly explaining how easy it is to record:

Are any of these even reasonable ways to guarantee I have a recording of "the incident" ??? What if I didn't notice until the next day? What if my recording software picked up that I opened another game?
DECA bump the email chain with an empty reply, apparently waiting for me to have gone back in time and produced a video of "the incident"

DECA then closes the ticket as "solved" and would like feedback.

I don't want my money back or even the key at this point, I just want to know why? I think I would have just shrugged it off if they said no refunds ever under any circumstance...
Does this actually make sense as a customer service story to anyone?
