1. Nico is correct. I will present, however, a different approach to what he addresses:
This is not a chat room. The group norm is that we converse as though we knew how to communicate in lucid prose. Show the group the courtesy of the effort to conform to the group norm, and the group will welcome you with open arms. Sneer at the group norm and you may find the group either returns the sneer, or shuns you. It is all within your power to control.
2. Losing stuff. I have lost any number of nifty items, and untold gems, due to realms down or bnet disconnects, or my ISP spazzing out on me. In some cases, it was stuff I had just found and did not save via the immediate 'save and exit' method, or via the risks of muling on bnet.
Muling is not supported. When the game was released, Blizz advised all players, at least those who bothered to read the manual, that the risks of muling are our own. It is a caveat emptor situation. Loss is a risk anyone who mules takes. Put into a pithy phrase: Bnet giveth and bnet taketh away.
While some here are sympathetic to your loss, having run into the same bnet feature, I am moved to suggest that you 'stop whining about it take it like a man.'
Something else you like will drop soon enough: the pinata's are always refilled on battle.net. :D
