Default Greedy Merchants lie about selling costs, crash client

Please delete this thread. I cannot replicate the issue. It appears to have been a one-time thing.





Quote:
Nilbog: Greedy Vendors: Certain merchants, usually in easy to reach locations, buy for half price, and sell for double. Buyer beware.
I believe that this update, applied on Dec 18, has some issues in regards to buying from the merchant. I don't know if it's all items for sale, or if it only affects items in the merchant's Temp Item list.

But here is the scenario that I have encountered:

Tubal Weaver, a merchant that can be found just inside the gates of Qeynos, he has the worst prices I've ever seen, despite his claim to the best.

He only pays the player 5 gold for a cracked staff, which fits along the lines of the “greedy merchant”.

However, looking at what he has for sale, he claims to sell Cracked Staffs for only 5 gold.
So when I click “Buy” for 5 gold, as it states in the trade window and text, my EQ client just crashes/vanishes.

1 more note - this was encountered on Red 99, not blue.
should be classified as game mechanic not merchant

...Well that could be the problem. WC caps are supposed to cost about 100 plat from a vendor. Perhaps something is halving the costs of items as well as the price that they sell at?
edit: oh I just saw the increased cap cost (186 plat) more lower down.
edit2: also I'd take out the not-so-nice parts of your logs if I were you.

You're not fooling anyone by including the guildchat you staged just for the bug forum post. Keep your juvenile crap out of the bug forum.
