Smugglers got results? You mean the continuing postponement of their revamp and some In Concept stuff? And if I remember the issues thread correctly, they're meant to report issues with the current patch, not the previous ones.


The devs know vendor search is borked, they'll fix it but right now CU and RotW are high priority and no amount of posting is going to change that.






Sigh. Yes, it's the priority now. The question is what will they do next.


If you "wait until they're done" its already too late because theywill be basing their decision on what to do nowon the feedback they've gotten up to that point. They're not going toignore all the feedback up to that point, and sit on their hands for a week reading our new posts. We want them to come out of the CURB/RotW crunch going, "We'd better fix the Bazaar system, we're getting a lot of complaints on that."


He who sits and waits..... waits and sits.

This just in from the patch notes:

Added min and max price filter UI to the vendor search


Now if they'd just make it an "actual" search, it might become useful.
And no, there has been no further red name comment on the search since it went live.

I've had a similar problem to this, not exactly the same but....


Seems like almost every time that I get the waypoint to the vendor it is off a little bit. Sometimes it's on the front porch of a shop, which isn't too bad, I can still figure that out. Other times though, it will be exactly half-way between 2 buildings. Not bad in a player city, but in the Theed and Cnet rings it is a major pain. Then I have to go through the vendors in both shops to find what I am looking for. It is almost always a loot-type item too, not player crafted. This makes it worse as half the vendors out there have random loot items thrown on vendors where the title doesn't match. It's not game-breaking, but it does (in addition to all the other bugs) make it worthless for me to use the GWVS.


P.S. I still get tells from people asking me for the waypoint to my shop cause they couldn't find what they needed using the search.
