Merchants: Purchasing by clicking items really fast

[Shalien]

Bought 13 peridots in Neriak. Went LD shortly after. PP and Peridots were gone.

Was able to (accidentally) reproduce this.

Zone: Neriak Commons
NPC: Mirzna N'Mar
Purchased: Peridots

I tried to purchase peridots and held the CTRL button while quickly clicking 'buy' multiple times. After the 4th peridot I got kicked of the server (same effect as 'link dead', except it didn't wait for package loss to reach 0%, but 'kicked' me from the server immediately).

Epic bump!! I lost 2k/2k in plat bars from this (whatever way to look at it).. This is THE worst bug in the game, right now.

I bought one stack, np, then 2nd stack I was short a bit, so I clicked over and over -- booted to server, came back, both money AND bars are gone.

If it helps to add, I held control and kept clicking buy (don't know if there's any other way to do it). I was in Thurgadin, with 0 people in the zone - I was alone.

Since the servers are down and bored, I'll tell you my story:
Went to nfp to buy something for 3kish, put money on trade screen and suddenly I'm ice cometed (karma, surely). I banked it JUST before 2nd ice comet - almost lost 3 freaking k. I spawned in thurgadin, played it smart and bought plat bars. Not only did I lose my plat, but I lost my plat bars and couldn't afford the trade after -___- gm said it would take months and months to recover "in the list", signifying that there are many that are effected by this as well.

Been waiting on petition for a month now, so far - I know they are volunteer so I'm not arguing as long as I get it back "eventually"; still sucks :/

bumping this up -- this is a critical bug

[mischief419]

Still a bug, very serious

oh look, almost another 5 months have gone by...still a bug

Been a bug for years. Doubt they can fix it. Simple fix is to not buy things so quickly. If it happens to you more then once its your own fault.

[mischief419]

Yep GMs waited 6 months to tell me they won't refund me, even though I was the only one in the zone at that time and noted the exact time and date. It happens even if you do it reasonably slow: Lost some insignificant things that way as well but interesting to know it could easily happen to anyone, even if pacing yourself. Slow or fast.. I'm beginning to believe it's about quantity.

I did the same thing in icewell. I noted it to myself as "if you buy 8 peridots in icewell, your game crashes"
I was spam ctrl clicking the buy button.

I buy TONS of arrows at a time (600-1k)....really fast....and have never crashed or anything.

So maybe it has something to do with the cost? This seems to be happening with gems for people....not food or other low cost items?

Maybe it is intentional for some reason? To stop people from being able to something something gems something....I ran out of explanation.
