Fucked by the marketplace

It reads "200,000" gold as "200" gold. If your field can't interpret commas, why not throw an error?

Got nabbed in seconds before I could realize my error.

Kojot, if you're reading this, congratulations on your nab.

There are some bugs on the marketplace that will utterly screw you over in a matter of seconds. Here are the ones I know about

Do not for any reason use a period or comma in your gold prices when posting it on the actual marketplace
Prices like 1,200,000 will read only as 1 gold, meaning that masterwork will get snatched by someone who sees it before you even realize what you did. Use straight numbers, like if you are selling an item for 800,000 take that comma out, you want to put it down for 800000 or else it will cut off at the comma and post on the actually marketplace for 800 gold.

What do you know, a stickied thread in the marketplace forum tells you exactly what will screw you.

Instead of immediately insulting the person who bought your item why not contact him and explain the mistake.

Since we all know that's worked in the past  :lol:

So I need to preemptively scan the forum for things in this game that will fuck me?

Awesome.

I think the admins here think a little too highly of the community.

You think the guy honestly thought I wanted to sell the loom for only 200 gold?

Buncha Einsteins for admins I tell ya.

Yeah, we OBVIOUSLY do!
Normal people would PM the person and nicely ask for the item back.
A lot of people actually grab those items off the market and return them...
Good luck! :mrgreen:

Bug needs to be fixed though...

Also i will PM the dude...
After researching a bit further... i'll PM you :mrgreen:

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

You can be sure that there is at least one person ready to buy the loom and don't give it back. For this reason, many 100% honest people buy it to give the item back (if you don't behave like an asshole).

Kojot, if you're reading this, bravo and fuck you.
Instead of insulting someone, just learn mathematics again.

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

Well, to be fair i think in the US you use periods for fractional digits and commas to make large numbers more readable.

I might be misinformed though. :mrgreen:

Anyway if i understood this correctly . and , was causing this.

Also Espu is fixing it.
