I am MWS with management 4. I had numerous items in my stockroom when SOE applied hotfixes and publishes. Here's the bug:

All items that were in the stockroom at the time of the publish/hotfix lost their descriptions/viewable stats. This has happened to me twice.

Due to this bug, I had to retrieve and reload over 500 items 3 times in the past week due to this bug.

Reproducable steps:

1. Items for sale are "auction unsuccessful" (AU's) and dump to the stockroom. (don't even get me started on this one, it's a HUGE issue of mine)
   
2. SOE applies a publish or hotfix while the items are in your stockroom. All items in the stockroom lose their viewable description, details etc.
   
3. All items must be withdrawn (if like me, you relisted them without making sure the item descriptions were viewable)


4. All items must be retrieved into your inventory


5. All items must be put up for sale again.

This bug has caused me to spend 12 hours over the past week repeating steps 3-5. I am not a power gamer and this bug has made me a slave to my vendors.

Another issue with this bugis that if I retrieve and resell the items, I end up with over 2000 items that will dump to my stockroom at the same time in 30 days. I had restocked at intervals to avoid this problem, but there's no work-around now.

Most items will not sell if you as a consumer cannot view the stats/description. For me this is a game breaking bug.

As much as I would like to restock it all, I refrain cause I dont want to have 3000+ things dropping all at once.

So I have decided (now that I finally have drops evened out again since this had to be done before) to pull each thing from the stock room as it drops and restock bits at a time. Granted it does not fix it all at once but sure beats pulling it all!

I would love to restock in intervals (like I did before, approx every 10 days). I went on vacation for 2 weeks and came back to a stockroom with 1500 + items in it. Same thing happened to me the month before too.

In order to sell my wares again, I had to restock the weapons. Please note these items were in the stockroom during the publish and other items later, during the hotfix. So without even looking at the item stats/descriptions, I reloaded the vendor from the stockroom. A customer asked me about a pistol on the vendor and asked me if I had the stats, which were not viewable. Then a guildie went to look for a gun and sure enough, no stats/descriptions was viewable.

Please don't mistake me, I am not reporting a /bug with auction unsuccessful items as this is a hateful, distasteful ingame mechanic and working as intended.

My problem, and the /bug with proven reproducible steps, is the items lose their viewable stats/description when they are in the stockroom during a publish or hotfix.

When this happens, I have to retrieve and reload, instead of merely reload the vendor and takes a great deal longer to do.

If there was a thread on auction unsuccessfuls, I would surely post to it, but my /bug here is the loss of viewable stats when an item is in the stockroom and a hotfix or publish is applied.
