I didn't think I would ever be the one to have to post a warning about such, but today just after noon or so, I experienced my first Trading Post glitch. So be careful!
I had a Kreludor WC piece up for trade (for another Kreludor WC piece) and when I went to accept the trade, I got an error.
ERROR : We could not find all of these items in the bidder's inventory!Well I clicked back and tried to accept again and got another error.
ERROR : This offer does not exist! It may have been cancelled or is currently being processed.When I checked my Items to see if my piece was at least back in my inventory, it was not.
I messaged the person and also submitted a bug report but I don't expect anything from TNT anymore. It is clear they are slaves to Viacom now. The Pound is still down because they didn't have the foresight to take care of the problems they should have known would be caused from the new Customization option. The Neopian Justice we were promised and then told would be delayed will probably never come and I wish they would take that down off the coming soon area to stop teasing us. Either way it is too late. We were told not to morph our pets 'just yet' after Customization but I am betting most of us already have made some changes to some of our pets due to their new look. Trading Post glitches still abound, apparently. The NC Mall is their focus now, which is unfortunate because I really don't think it is going to bring in much profit at all.
I don't think Neopets needed a multi-million dollar investor. A smaller investor would have provided all they needed to upgrade hardware and make other 'modern' changes to the site, without all the ... hoopla, for lack of a better word for all this madness. Just because there are millions to use shouldn't mean that it is used for something like this. I am rather glad to hear they will be making books and real life merchandise as that seems a more appropriate way to spend investment money to be turned into a nice profit. However, I can already see that it IS making the game site as a whole unbalanced, again despite "promises" to the contrary. I think they should not use that word anymore.
Sorry for the rant, but I guess I am feeling overwhelmed again. Seems like the parts of the site that need the most attention right now are not getting it. Quite unacceptable.
EDIT: Well time again for slapping me with a fish. I can't believe it. My piece is back in items and even says "trading" again! (However, it still says 1 offer on the lot and when I click to see that, it informs me there are no offers on the lot.) And it certainly wasn't just me being tired and not noticing before, as the WC piece was my only item in inventory at the time, and I freaked only when I saw the "you have no items" message. (*Mumbles* Now if they could only fix the Pound and bring on that Neopian Justice.)
