Yea! FC fixed it and now the Traveling Merchant is COMPLETELY USELESS.
Thank you very much FC.
People were pissed that you were putting in free bags, so you pulled it out of the game without warning.
and
you "Funcom'ed" everyone that bought the contracts on the trader.
Nice...
At 10G to 30G a pop (Probably hundreds, if not thousands, sold), you caused a major impact to the in-game economy, and then screwed the people that bought the contracts right before you pulled them from the game.
There is a reason it is called "being funcom'd..."
