9. Some times vendors disappear entirely for periods of time only to return later. (Sometimes after a server reboot sometimes on their own even before a server reboot)

I think they are on vaccation.

Items have been expiring off our vendors since Pub9, lots of credits lost in items that aparently never reach the storeroom, but are imediately deleted. We keep our storerooms Spik and Span, so it never got there. Things seem to randomly choose to die. Perhaps this was something that happened in the past but we hardly noticed it?

well, this one bug seemed to be limited to very few people, but it coused me to loose hundreds of weapons and millions in revenue, emails and csr plees even csr discusions all failed is why I left 6 months ago, came back to play with my friend and the bug still exists.

the bug consists of expiring items and trying to retrieve them, I had 100 weapons expire all at once and when I went to retrieve them, the retrieve box becomes emty after pulling out one item, only way to get those items out before game eats them is to relog and retrieve another item , relog again and again 100 times a night (as I was told to do by a CSR at that time) . Since then I found another way to retrieve items, a little faster but not by much is to place another vendor down, and swap retrieves after pulling one item from each vendor at wchich point the retrieve box goes emty again, and I activate other vendor get one item and then do this over and over.

Well I am glad to see that this bug still hounts me.

I lost another 120k credits to this bug today. I've been losing about 50k per day or so for a while. I'm going to feel really bad when one of my2 million credit items is randomly deleted.

Is anyone working on this bug? Does anyone read these forums any more? I don't see this HUGE bug on any of the bug lists on this forum. This bug seriously hampers my ability to make money as a merchant.

It's been said many times before that the devs have stated that this is not working as intended, and will be fixed.

what is truly amusing is the DEVs obviouly dont read their own manuals. The description of the skill is create and/or place. Says nothing about owning or operating. So by the listed description in the skillbox it is working as intended so why would the DEVs say otherwise?

Ok, I have been getting the You have failed to pickup your items bug (since Pub. 9) I check my stockrooms daily, then 5 minutes later a whole heap of items poof of the vendors. So far, these have been cheap items, mainly furniture. OMG I would have a freaking cow if something like a house, heavy harvestor, or something like that disappeared!

I been submitting bug reports everytime this happens. I hope they fix this very soon.

There Seems to be a few bugs with vendors and im having some of them, iv had items go missing and iv had Vendors go missing as well!!

When you Drop your merchant Skills you keep you Vendors.
THIS IS NOT A BUG AND ITS NOT AN EXPLOIT. this is how it should be, just like all the other class's you keep what you make from when you where that class.

If a weaponsmith gives up his class, Should he loose all the guns and swords he made.
Im an architect and I would not be happy if all my mines and house's whent missing if/When i give up the class.

People Say this makes merchant throw away. dont be so silly All class's are throw away!! you only get 250 points.
Most people should take merchant as one of the first classes, place your vendors and fill them up after you dump the class and go through all the other crafting classes you want to have a go at. you should be more worred about the fact that in 12 month time the only class will be jedi as there is no longer the NEEDED risk of perma death for them.

After Publish 10 has anyone had issues with their vendors not showing up on the planetary map until someone walks into the structure hosting the vendor?

I have been able to reproduce it consistently for a week now.
After a server reboot:
Login outside the structure hosting the vendors.
Ctrl-V -> Vendors -> Resources, vendor does not show on the map.
Ctrl-M vendors are not listed in the heads up display.
Walk into the house.
Ctrl-V -> Vendors -> Resources, vendor is listed.
Walk outside.
Ctrl-M vendors are on the overhead map.

This seems to be an interesting feature as one has to login every morning after the reboot to get their vendors back on the map. I would hate to go shopping in the early am and expect to find vendors listed.

I came across a bazaar in Bestine that was used by a resource seller and he managed to sell his resources by 6060 Credits instant sale...(no ad) I thought the upper limit for bazaar are 6000 cr.... ? I didn't try to buy any resources though....
