Thread: Do our vendors steal from us?
So even though the credits are lost due to BUGS IN THE SYSTEM, we're screwed.
Well, this would explain why I'm constantly broke. I sell large amounts of items through my vendors for guildies. I total up the sales based on the email notifications, pull a percentage off of that number, and pay my guildies. I'm also a tailor, so I sell items and make money that way.
Yet I never seem to have much cash left after I pay my guildies for their sales. Now I know why.
I must be living right or something. My vendors sell several hundred thousand credits worth of merchandise a day and I can't seem to see any problem with the money side of it. Not so far anyways. I've had other problems but no problem with the money not showing up.
Maybe I'm doing something different... you guys threaten them with a weapon each morning just like me right??? ![]()
I have not noticed the problem on my vendors, but I know other people who lose 500k-1.5 million daily to this bug. It only started happening since 2 or 3 patches ago. And they were doing some work on vendors in recent patches.
It is a bug and it's a killer for many people.
Here are my numbers:
I start with 4K.
1 sell 2 items for a total of 4K (should have 8k total)
I sell 20+ items for guildies for 185K (I should have 193K total)
However, my bank and on-person cash total 178K.
As a result, I have told my guildies that we need to suspend my selling their items via my merchants, until this gets fixed. I just can't afford to eat losses like that. I sure hope that this bug is fixed soon.
I hear from those I know that are experiencing thisthat it only occurs when the character that owns the vendors is offline. They are keeping their characters online 24/7 now (aside from reboots) and are receiving full credit for sales.
