As a customer I love it, as a merchant I believe this will be more of a burden a time consumer to the Merchant.....

I could be wring, but it seems that not all merchants want the stuff they buy from offers to the Vendor in their inventory right away.

Especially if I am a reseller, this means my guild mate offers the item normally I buy it go to stockroom and post it for sale, now it goes to my Inventory and make me have to remember prices and and extra step.

Granted I keep detailed info in a spreedsheet, but for heavens sake this is just a pain.

Yeah offers could be a really big issue if they start showing up in my inventory after I buy them. Much easier for me to work off of them while in the vendor still.

Yea this happened to me last night. I'll start making noise about it. It really makse no sense for offers to show up in your inventory. THe purpose of offers is to resell things.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

FOR THE LOVE OF YODA STOP THIS.

I typically get of 40 offers on my vendor a week, many of the 'junk items' that are offered so i can buy and pay salaries. I don't want to ever see these items in my inventory...and I wish they would delete after 7 days too, but they do not seem to. almost seems like purchased offers stick around for 30 days on my vendors at least.

Plus it really doesn't make sense. Items offer are 'normally' for resale!

I've already asked if we can get the Offers screen exmpted from this. Its going to be a real mess if I end up with 10 items in my inventory and another 40 in my stockroom. I"m never going to keep it straight.

Add my name to the petition. This is driving me abso-frickin-lutely nuts.

The folks I run vendors for, put their merchandise as offers on the vendor for 1 credit, with their selling price in the description. Normally I'd buy the items, switch to the stockroom, check the description on each and hit "Sell item" and list for that price. Now that they are going into my inventory, I have to sort through the offers, decide which I am going to buy, write down the name and stats and the seller's price, buy them, then search through my cluttered inventory to list them at the price I wrote down. It's taking me 3 times as long.

do these "mini-patches" go onto the TC first??? If so why wasn't this caught prior to the release?? And if they aren't on the TC first why not? Because obviously this is a pretty big screw up... I'm just curious as to why ever patch the SOE does is jacked up even though they are suppose to be on the TC First. Can anyone shed some light on this?

It was on TC for a day or so before being put into live.But this isn't a bug issue it is just a design that, when applied to live merchants is a lot more annoying than it probably was for TC for two days.

Well, I would say that it is a design bug rather than a coding bug. Since we don't see any design documentation, they become visible at the same time, and are really indistinguishable.

I haven't ended any sales since the patch, do those go to inventory too? That would be even more of a pain, since with most of those, my intention is to refresh the sales timer so it doesn't expire while I am gone.

BTW I have noticed frequent failures to drop things in inventory (even though there is plenty of room) that seems to be associated with lag. The Coronet bazaar never does at busy hours, but I have had it happen at laggy vendors as well. This could be a major problem for customers from low-lag areas, as they may just assume that they got the item and leave it in available-items.

The feature is bugged too... When you buy two or three things in a row pretty often one of them ends up in the stockroom anyway. It has happened to me three times so far.

As another poster stated, most of the time the item doesn't drop into my inventory anyway, but when it does. Its nothing but a pain.

Same here -- it's quite inconsistent.
