My sales died the moment the nerf was announced because everyoneheld firesales to dump their stock. I'm an Architect, so I rely on a small number of high $$$ sales; after two weeks of this crap, I'm damn near broke. I'd be panicing if I hadn't solda city hall last week. That, some furniture,and a couple of factories has been it.

I am upset with this. I am starting to get a small understanding of why the “Terrorists” used the tactics they did. It becomes difficult to see if any changes in this game will come without these wonderful hiccups at implementation. Yes it is a game and just entertainment but so is my Internet service, cable TV, magazine subscriptions, gym memberships, and other things I use for entertainment. All have issues but when they do have issues I get heartfelt apologies and recompense for my inconvenience. Sadly I have not experienced this with SOE. Sadly I feel that I never will. Its not all that bad if you think of it as a comic Greek tragedy.

Definitely some strange results so I'm almost not wanting to post me. I had a great day yesterday. I've only been playing my MM again since the beginning of August and I had my best day ever yesterday. I had 6 different people come by and purchase droids as well as 4 or 5 bounty hunters come by for crates of droids.


I guess my results are NOT the norm. It's nice not seeing the cluttered map anymore.

My alt MWS on Radiant had typical sales, I never even checked to see if the Map was working. But crates of VK's are selling like hot cakes since the 10Patch-go figure.

By the way I love the new update - extra vendors - no empty ones showing - sweet!

Same here...severe decrease in sales yesterday...Only 3 smiths on the map...I'm sure they did well. This really needs to be fixed ASAP. Especially since we pay for the advertising...and I refuse to be a starport spammer.

I think what we have here is a situation where the change was great but the implementation has been less than acceptable.

The question is how long it will take the developers to properly implement a much needed change.

As far as increased traffic, I think the change will be a huge help to all merchants, but only if the implementation flaws are worked out quickly.

Have the devs said they identified the bug and are rolling out a hotfix yet?
