Because they're wankers? That's my theory.

Having worked in QA, I'm notinclined tobe forgiving about bugs that are found earlyin beta and make their way into the release.
There's also no reason for the fix for this to be inextricably bound to other (unstable) changes and delay a hotfix. These are all old problems in software configuration management that have been solved, and I know SOE has the tools for the job.

When I play this game for free, they can do all the game-breaking patches they want.
Until then, though, somebody needs to be held responsible for this.

Amen. With most other software, if a given patch/release is buggy, customers can choose not to upgrade to it until it's fixed. With a MMO, there's no choice, so quality control is that much more important.

Well all the 100 items i put back on sale since the patch (the ones that didn't just disappear because of the other bug that is) will have to be put back on sale on Tuesday. Oh wait, that will prolly be around 150 or 200 by then. /curses SoE

I could be more forgiving if this was anythingother than negligence. Allowing a problem such as this to hit live is inexcusable, not to mention the other vendor bugs that were let loose. A friend of mine lost about 7 million credits worth of weapons off of his vendor that they probably will not replace as well. I realize there are deadlines, but I would rather wait and have a publish that doesn't have us praying to avoid catastrophe....especially when they offer no course of action to rectify the problems.

Right now some of you are fairly whiney paying customers 
And ranting about it in this post isn't extremely helpful as the purpose of it was to inform the community about the status of the fix not to give you a forum to **edit** about the bug in the first place. There..thats my rant..
Back on topic: I have confirmed that the "resource" bug was also the issue with the count of items in a factory crate not showing up in the bazaar/vendor listings. This is corrected on TC as well right now so should be live next week.
