Attention everyone with a vendor!!!

Post by Killion »

I noticed what is possibly a bug and thought I'd bring it to your attention. If you place a container in front of your vendor (i.e. as a display item) people can help themselves to anything in there. I noticed the vendor next to mine had a bag on display so I wondered if people could take stuff from it. I tried and to my surprise it worked. Obviously I put what I took straight back and pm'ed the owner to warn him but he said he lost 150k worth of stuff and I dont want this to happen to anyone else. There are a few vendors with containers in front of them at MZ so I thought I'd bring this up. I'm gonna page a gm to let them know of the issue but that could take a while since no-one is on.

Yeah, the item in front of the vendor is locked down, but that's it. Nothing gets the "secure" tag, which means anyone can take from containers.

Yep i am aware of that, but they're supposed to be display items, not intended for let's say bags in which you would store things. Maybe I should just add a warning text if you set a container as display item, informing a player that anything they put in there can be taken by anyone.

It's not a bug, it's a neat new feature! :goodsuprise:

Place a marked rune in the bag so people can recall back whenever they run out of whatever it is that they need. Or put some candy in there ^^

I think some warning text would be a good idea. Like I said the guy next to me had some stuff taken and wasn't aware of the fact that the container is locked down and not secured. I certainly didn't know anything about it.

Why not just block containers from being used there....

geeez, your paying for a vendor not free storage. The area in front of your vendor is to display 1 item. How could you "think" it was free storage??? Its not the games mistake nor problem, suck it up and move on. Accept responsibility for your actions/mistakes people and stop bothering the GMs.
