I just went to your business, walked in slow so I only got one box, and was fine. (I go there all the time.) I usually just charge on in, get four or five boxes, pay with one and cancel the rest, and I'm fine.
By my math, over a million creds is 111+ entrances that were paid for but they didn't get. Did you really have that many people who were getting rubber banded out, even doing that?
By the way, I noticed your price went up a whole cred. OMG inflation!!11one1 So much for that CDEF pistol I was saving up for!
lol next cdef i get ill give to ya =D
The bug hit whilst i was spending the night away.. just left all running as per normal as i do whenever i go out, came back to a ton of emails about the enterance fee. If it was one or two people and it had never happened before i would have been sceptical but out of the ton of email i had there were a fair few people which ive known for a long time and trust.
I checked my credits and amount of buff packs left and noticed about a 1.2mill discrepancy between the two so knew there had been a problem. I fully expect that i had a couple of bogus claims but none were for over 40k so id rather be swindled out of a couple of ks rather than lose my valued regulars (which would lose me more credits in the long run).
In regards to the other buff bot owner, i suppose you would be more likely to have more attempted scams due to the increase in service you have to mine and the fact that your in a higher turnover area (dantooine being a prime area for sologrinding etc, whereas the backwaters of tat dont seem to be frequented by those sorts of people as much). Im quite lucky as ive been running this for almost a whole year and still have 0 people on my bans list!
I upped the price by a whole 1 cred to test out the bug, i altered the time limit and price to see if that had any effect on it, and *touches wood* since i changed it (Wednesday) ive not had it occur again. Now this may be due to a slient fix, but unless they confirm its been fixed ill put it down to the change in the fee.

I noticed you moved buildings. Has it helped? And where's my CDEF?
You know, one day, I'll be getting buffed by your bot, you'll actually say something that's not in the macro, and I'll about have to go change my shorts.
LOL
Okay heres the update....
4 days ago i laid down my spare tatooine hospital deed and moved into there (hoping that a fresh building will remove the bug) I was sucessfully running for 2 days and then the bug hit again. Woke up this morning to another set of mails about it and just reset the fee.
Ive asked everyone that has experienced this bug to submit a bug report so it gets acknowledged asap.
Ive filed 4 CSR tickets, two replied to by canned reponses then shut before i could reply, the other two stating that they visited the hospital, collected information and have made the devs aware. Im happy with the last two responses, just wish it would be sorted.
Ive checked the merchant forums again and cant see anyone else experiencing this, I know Cablegod is on my server and has been having the problem so its not just me. Is nobody else experiencing this asides from people on Eclipse?
