So this message from the Black Lion Trading Company has been around for a long (long) time. Many people are convinced it’s an anti-botting feature. Some of us think it’s a devious database/UI/server synch problem.

Can we get an official word on which it is? Bug, or feature? I’m not sure anything will change some minds, short of code samples… even that might not be enough. But I’d love to find out for sure.

And how about you, populous at large? Bug, or feature? Explain your answer. Would anything change your beliefs? Have a muffin.

That’s actually what prompted this question – despite that word, there are still people steadfastly sticking to the idea that it’s an anti-botting feature.

Maybe ‘announced’ is a bit strong. But, a Dev did state the above, in-game. =)

Though, as the other things stated aren’t taken as truth, that may not be, either.

I won’t lie, I was in that group of people that thought they put it in for a reason, maybe not necessarily anti-botting but something similar. If it is truly a bug and they are finally fixing it, that is awesome. Cuz it gets me every single day.

The biggest issue with the TP is that it organizes either by price or by alphabetically. Not by the actual order in your inventory. I’m thinking it’s cross-referencing incorrectly due to this. In the mean time, close the TP and condense your inventory when you run into this error.

Hah! The fact that this thread was moved to the “bugs” forum does further reinforce my feeling that it is a bug.
