If you don’t see that you made a mistake, you’re going to continue to make the same mistakes, and a number of us who still (somehow, despite everything) still manage to give a damn, are going to continue to resent the consequences of these arbitrary whims.

You ignored the whole part where I said repeatedly that I was going to be fixing things with the wacky items. And how I even mentioned I would be changing the price. And the whole thing about how we never guaranteed any item from itembuildr would make it into the game.

Financial speculation based on bug fixes is a horrible way to run an economy. You actually want players financially speculating on what you’re going to fix next?

Are… you serious? It’s not the way the economy is run. It is a blip that happened that is almost invisible as far as the economy is concerned. I just said it’s like the real world, you win some and you lose some. The game is far from being completely based around bugfixes.

In the end, a refund is the only fair solution, and the sooner the better. Whether the item was traded or bought should be immaterial unless players are paying way over the odds for the item, and the sooner you refund, the less consequences.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Let’s say I buy item A. Then I sell it to player B in Kyoubai. That player sells it to another player C in Kyoubai. That player equips it.

Do you realize how complicated that refund is to track? I’d have to unequip the item from C, refund C’s money, refund B’s money then refund A’s money. It’s insanely complicated because I don’t track items in specific paths like that.
