Merchants: A Shady Swashbuckler...Shady Indeed

[OngorDrakan]

I am positive I tried to just buy a Collar of Undead Protection and it was 15pp...But what showed up in my inventory was an Ivory for 7pp and change. Is this supposed to happen? I took a SS and /time in the SS. Just seems...Odd.

[OngorDrakan]

Then there was 2 ivory's on the vendor...How is beyond me. That doesn't sound right. Got a SS of that too. Will post shortly.

[OngorDrakan]

Here are the SS's where you can see I had the collar clicked, but when bought, it bought me ivory.

For the record it's totally fine I didnt get the collar. I was just trying to get coin combined so I didn't have so much on me for weight. But I wanted it to be known that something was up.

When multiple people are using a vendor at the same time, they tend to buy and sell things which changes the order of the merchant's inventory. So you'll click on something and then it'll give you an item from a different spot because your list isn't updated.

[OngorDrakan]

I think I was the only one there. Maybe 1 other person, but didn't see anybody else.

There are two other people in your screenshot before the transaction. If either of them bought or sold anything it would possibly alter his list from what you had displayed.

[OngorDrakan]

Ah I missed that. You are right. Now why would buying the collar give me an ivory? Shouldn't the selected item just say, there isnt any of this available, or go to the next thing in his inventory alphabetically? Not..Random?

They don't have to buy the item you're looking at, they just have to buy something else. And let's say you've got it organised by qty, then the change in qty changes the list serverside, but on your screen you still see it and then when you click buy it buys the item the server is looking at, not what you have clicked on.

[Chanus]

Or it may be organized by itemID on the server side, which has very little to do with alphabetical organization.
