Primarily my family does resouring and we do a lot of it. The recent bugs stand to inpact our business level tremendiously.

So - we sat down thought about and came up with a work around.

Here is what we are planning on doing:

using labled packs for any resouces sold. This bug inpacts crated good as well - but at least you can SEE what the crate is beyond "food" to have a look at the inspection menu.

We'll be following this lableing set up:

Mineral - copper - polysteel - 100k - all stats.

because the item itself will be bagged it's going to require listing all stats out in the label.

Obviously the potential for exploiting customers is vast - but really no different the the bug currently allows - there is nothing stopping anyone from selling multiple stacks at a good CPU and then slipping in a short stack at the same pricing - nothing beside our desire for a good rep and repeat business that is.

*most* merchants have a sense of self perservation if not a scrupples. Until this issue is adressed - this is the best method i can think for informing customers what's for sale at a glance.

hope it helps - bump this if you like the add - add your own thoughts if you've come up with another method of dealing with Pub 9.

Cancelling my accounts is starting to be a viable alternative to this rubbish.

Don't let the negative AFKophobes get you down. Play the game however you want.

Is the beta testing almost over for this game?

Wouldn't it be easier and just as reliable to put that data in the "seller's description of item" field?

Ibab's Mining Co. is just a little south of Coronet (-112 -5585)
stocking: 40million+ in stock, stocking 80kin x 69base armor - 400k
Ibab's Food, Drink + Buff (-112 -5585 coronet)- now stocking 100's of buff kits and 100's of crates of food and drink, tools

far far too much than we're supposed to do.

What I want to know is What is Sony's Official statement on this blunder and who is getting fired because of it?

There's no excuses. none none at all no no no someone messed up realllly bad and should be searching out a new job.

I'm more interested in when it's going to be fixed at this moment, and for the time being, I'll just let things stay on my vendor as they are.

I'd quit before doing that much work.

As others have already said... it's a whole lot of extra work to work around a stupid STUPID bug that should never have gone live in the first place.

HEY the fix is on test center.
