I need a smack.

I log on my trader mule last night, a level 2 Rogue.

Set up the trader box, check the bazaar, and set a few competitive prices, put up the AFK flag, then go to bed.

I get up this morning, and guess what, I accidently hit the hotkey for HIDE. The killer is that his skill is at a 2 for hide, and HE SUCCEEDED (sp?)!!!!!

So, I'm up all night as a trader, people probably wanted to buy my stuff, but couldn't find me.

Guess I'll have to be more careful, or switch to a different hotkey menu..

I do recall one time I was in the bazaar and needed an item (forget what). I did a search and saw it for sale. I used the bazaar feature to track to where the person should be ... but could not see him. I went all around where he was standing, tried the 'target -name-' and no luck.

It was something I really wanted, and I think someone else had it, but for twice the price. I finally got someone to cast a see inviz on me... and right where he should have been he was standing. I did the transaction and went away, well at least content. But slightly miffed.

I'm sickering right now.

Thanks for the laugh. :-)

Erf - that sucks - atleast it was just one night though.

I've encountered invisible PC merchants as well - although I also encountered someone who had apparently fallen through the ceiling, wall or floor - the merchant was on track, he was on the merchant list and even after I zoned in and out and even did a total log to desktop, I still couldn't find him even with see invis.

I've dealt with this before -- rogue traders who hide. It's frustrating because I usually shop in bazaar with my own level 1 trader, who doesn't have any sort of see invisible. Sometimes I think they do it intentionally and then put a good price on something just to watch us run around looking for them.

But I've also had a bug where a trader just wasn't drawn where he was supposed to be, so I had to camp and reenter to see him.

I've also seen a bug where a trader parked too close to a pole and so he was actually standing on top of it. Also traders sometimes ended up on top of the cloth awning over the stall, either intentionally or accidentally. That used to happen all the time months ago, but since levitate stopped working in bazaar that doesn't happen much.
