I posted this same post in the Core Systems forum, but I figured I'd post it here, too, since it pertains to vendors...

Has anyone on any other server besides Starsider been seeing a lot of corrupted entries show up in the vendor listing database lately? I know that when the CU went live, the devs cleared the vendor listing database and everything had to be relisted if you wanted its stats to be viewable again, however in the last few weeks, a lot of listing that were displaying their stats properly have started to go blank. I've also seen a lot of listings where the stats are still visable, but the entry itself is in a corrupted format with the stats being listed out of order and wrapped around. Here's a couple example screenshots of what I'm talking about.

Messed up vendor listing for a crafted starship engine

Messed up vendor listing for a three mod clothing attachment

As you can see in both of these, the stats are listed in the wrong order. Its as if the vendor listing database system started looking at the object in the middile of its stats when it created the vendor listing entry. This in turn caused the listing system to put in certain headings more than once and make the whole thing look rather messy. What worries me is that more and more listing of this nature seem to be showing up every day. And on top of that more and more listing are going completely blank everyday. My guess is that some bad data got put into the database at some point, and its messing up the system's ability to add new entries to the database properly. What I'm really afraid of is that if it gets too out of hand, the only fix will be for the devs to wipe the vendor listing database again, which will be a major pain for a lot of players to deal with.

While browsing the BAzaar galactic search a few days ago, about 33% of the entries did not show any details at all. I did not see any pattern to it. Somethings just didnt want to show details. I just blow off any buigs I see. The Devs are too burdened to do anything that doesnt exist in the jedi skillset.

I'm seeing that item attributes corruption on vendors, as well. I was noticing it when I was stocking my shipwright vendor. As of now, I've only seen it on Shipwright parts, but that might be because thats all I ever see on vendors.

(And yeah, I get lots of items with the Downloading Attributes... blank page, too. If they're on my vendor, I withdraw them and re-list them. They don't seem to be following the pattern of the old vendor reset blank page bug of a few publishes ago, however.)

One of my customers mentioned today he couldn't view some of the clothing available on my vendor. I'm hoping to find and withdraw the rogue items later to try relisting them.

I'm already pulling everything back into my inventory before relisting it for sale so I'm hoping that will prevent any more 'invisible' items.

i have been seeing this all the time. mostly the ones that bother me are the ones missing information. i think that the vendors and bazaar are just listing it wrong. when i buy an item it seems to be fine, although i havent checked really, so i will after work today and get back to you all.

So much for a Smuggler revamp, maybe they should just rename us, it would take less time and be easy to do.
"Useless" would be my first choice as a name suggestion.

of course at this point there is no reason to revamp anything. SOE should just shut the game off.

I had this same problem on my tailor vendor. All the items not showing were ones listed on the same day. Items before and after that day showed up. I had to take the items all the way back into my inventory to make them list and 'show' in the window properly. Resale from stockroom didnt work.

I've noticed it on other vendors as well, the item never shows a pic and no details print out in the description.

I /bug'ed it in game but I didnt know really how to describe/categorize the issue

Yeah, the problem seems to be getting worse. More and more listings are going blank or getting messed up.

it was my understanding that withdrawing from the stockroom before you relist was fixing the "no stat's" items...?

But as for the wrapping stats/out of order stats yes I am seeing this. A few of my items on my BE Clothing vendor are doing that.. noticed it today.. freaked me out at first cause it looks as if they only have 1 stat instead of the 2 they should..but if you read down the 2nd stat is at the bottom of the window.

I did today trying to restock my vendor containing starshipp loot items. It looks like the same stuff that happened at the CU.

Do the Devs hate us this much to screw us over twice in 2 weeks? My fingure is hovering over the "Cancel Account" button as we speak.
