Merchants: Merchants ripping people off

[Zeelot]

I sold about 9 brutechoppers (75pp)x9 to merchants in and around grobb and got 0 return. Didn't realize until I checked my money afterward.

Any chance of reimbursement and a fix please?

Uthgaard says the fix is coming in the next update.

No one is saying when the next update will be.

[Rynada]

Well an update coming does not help us new people who get ripped off for 75 plat at a friggin merchant and not even get the damn item we got ripped off for.

[Chanus]

Well, I'm certainly not sitting here telling you it's awesome that a fix was announced two weeks ago and there's nothing but silence regarding an ETA for the update.

[Tippett]

Yeah I was also ripped by the merchant next to the SHM GM in Oggok, that town has some issues.

I've also noticed that necro spell merchants in Paineel sometimes will sell a spell even if you don't have the correct amount of money available.

For instance: lvl 8 necro pet spell = 4pp. I had 1pp and some gold on me, and was able to purchase said spell for about 20 gold. Out of curiousity, I tried selling back to vendor for the 1pp the vendor said it would give me.. I got back no money and couldn't buy the spell again.

PS. Since when is it that lvl 4 spells cost 2-3gold each, then all of a sudden lvl 8 spells are 4pp each? wth? I've barely made 1.2pp by lvl 6 killing mobs.

It shows up in the logs when an item is sold for no money. I've got a query prepared to run during the next patch that will take everyone who has sold an item for no value, total up the amount lost, and add that to your bank's copper slot.

What about those of us who tried to buy an item and got OVERCHARGED, is that going to be addressed in the patch. or how about those of us who have purchased one item and received another, is that also going to be addressed in the patch. I mean that patch sounds great and is wonderful and I am sure there will be extra coppers in some of my character slots. But I don't think any of them will compare to the 75 plat I lost in highkeep or the 65 plat my husband lost on sisters.
I hope this fix is coming with the patch also.

Would it be safe for us to go ahead and sell the items now for 0 coin ahead of the patch?

In addition to the huge problem of us noobs not being able to afford spells because these quests are broken, our banks are full up on bronze, lightstones, and other items we can't sell. Could use some fresh bank space.
