Curse

It is really hard to tell what is broken without a screen shot or bug.

Hanging Man · Oct 16, 2008, 11:31 PM // 23:31

that sucks, never heard of a problem like this before
pretty crappy, did the guy atleast contact you after and say hey bad trade?

jiggles · Oct 16, 2008, 11:35 PM // 23:35

i just lost 200k, just thought you guys would be more careful when trading rate materials, or anything worth alot of money

Admin Edit: You need to remove the names in your screenshot

wait a minute, so you lost 200k on 1 trade? thats not possible as you can only trade 100k..obviously you wernt paying attention to it.

^ He said he was buying an armbrace. 100k + 100k worth of ectos = 200k.

He was trading 40 Z keys for the armbrace (40 x 5k = 200k)

sorry didnt see where he said he was buying an armbrace only saw that he was trading ecto(which could mean buying orselling)

Wow. Just wow. I'm NOT buying anything over 100k until this is fixed...how can this even happen? Amrbrace turn in to a friggen wood??

i faced same kind of problem yesterday. i was selling armbrace in kamadan when this guy whisps me and gives guest invitation to his GH. i go to GH and press trade with him. it takes pretty long from him to add 50 ectos to trade and press submit. (dont know if this matters something) i had inventory open whole time. i press accept, then he press accept and fast removes my guest invitation. i saw ectos in my inventory like 1-2 seconds before i get mapped back to kamadan. when im in kamadan my 50 ectos have changed to 50 wood planks. and im 100% sure it was showing ectos both on trade and my inventory before mapping back to kamadan.

guy still keeps telling he has no idea about this but im going to report him anyways.

Fates · Oct 17, 2008, 01:10 AM // 01:10

Awesome, another trade exploit. Woohoo. Guess I wont be doing any big trades any time soon.

same exact thing happened to me
takes a while to show me the item
then immediately revokes my guest invite

hum sounds interesting might be a timing issue with you being kick from there hall and trade closing

Trylo · Oct 17, 2008, 02:32 AM // 02:32

thanks for the update, no trades in the near future for me :/

i would like to see the picture with blacked out names, if you dont mind.

pumpkin pie · Oct 17, 2008, 02:33 AM // 02:33

Sickk, did you click accept before the scammer did?

does anyone knows, let say if i key in the agreed upon gold amount, then i click submit, and the other person, submit their item, and i see that it is what i wanted, so i click accept. on the other side you would see, so and so has accepted your offer (something like that) then they change the thing before hitting submit, that would means you won't see a notice, since you've already click accept?

i don't trade with people very much, so does that work that way?

FoxBat · Oct 17, 2008, 02:36 AM // 02:36

Sounds like you should just avoid getting guested by traders in the meantime... still, an exploit.

Edit: wood planks are likely either "item 0", "material 0", and possibly a default when the item data can't otherwise be recognized. The mid-trade termination is causing exploiter to gain ectos, keep their trade item, and partially modify (corrupt?) the victim's item data.

noneedforclevernames · Oct 17, 2008, 02:43 AM // 02:43

idk how this would be possible to do and it would be just Wood Planks. There most likely coded like all the other materials. Most likely a bunch of liars ^^

Tramp · Oct 17, 2008, 03:42 AM // 03:42

Might explain why there are a ton of arms for sale by no-names the last day or two in kamadan. I was thinking last night maybe it was cuz of hom update, but now maybe i am thinking it is this new glitch?

Was the OP trading in town or was he also guested/kicked from a hall?

Arkantos · Oct 17, 2008, 04:06 AM // 04:06

Didn't something very similar happen in the past?

Sigh.

Jensy · Oct 17, 2008, 04:43 AM // 04:43

So, seems we can narrow it to:

1) Happens when going to a GH to trade
2) Trades taking an odd amount of time to complete
3) ???

Yeah, I'd advise against going to someone else's GH to trade. There's no real reason for it anyway. They should at least be able to get to SOME port town/GTOB.

Fleh. My sympathies to those scammed, people effing suck.

Valkyria · Oct 17, 2008, 04:47 AM // 04:47

Did anyone try to replicate this bug/exploit/whatever? If so,what was the result?
