- Get in line. =)


- So far, we've had to wait on more important professions than ours. That and game crashes... and that makes sense. They have to prioritize somehow.


- The real problem I have is that Sony apparently didn't hire any QA people, and instead relied 100% on beta testers (and is NOW relying on paying customers) to clue them in to bugs. Why do I say this? Because merchant is a little-used class compared to, say, scout or marksman. It was neglected in beta by the player base, and thus nobody caught any of the (BIG!) bugs. But this is not an excuse; Sony should have QA people employed in addition to the free (and, at the moment, actually profitable) testing done by players.


- No other industry has free QA testing like the game industry. Other industries actually employ people to find bugs before the product ships. Over-reliance on this free, unpaid, player QA will generate a product with big, ugly holes in it. *cough*MERCHANT*cough*

Now that we know there is an issue, ALL it would really take is a few SQL statements. ie, all my "Limbo" stuff says it is Corellia, Corellia just make EVERYONE go to one town in one planet to get there stuff.


SQL>Update inventory.location = "Cornet,Corellia" where inventory.location = "Corellia, Corellia"


This will not fix the issue at all, but it would allow us to get our stuff, and most of us know how not to make it happen again. Until they get a fix in.

Is it that difficult to link the stockroom to the player instead of the vendor? does it take more than one programming line to change it?
