I agree. Once the bugs(major bugs IMO) are worked out this will be a fantastic issue. Seeing as how the bugs mess with my playstyle, I consider them major issues. People that don't care about the markets and some other stuff like I do may see them as little things.|

Once the kinks are out, I17 will be one of the strongest Issues in the game's history. Bugs aside, it's a fantastic Issue. |

I can understand being frustrated, and feel for the people having problems - in most cases. But I can also understand production, development, and deadlines, and know from history that not only will there be bugs (caught and uncaught) in release, and that they're not there because "the devs aren't doing their jobs/don't care/hate me," but that they will still have people working on getting them fixed before, during, and after release. Patience is sorely lacking at times. If people expect every issue to come out bug free and perfect, they'd better be able to point out that every single thing they've ever done has also been 100% perfect, on time, and what everyone expected. Otherwise, don't expect the same of anyone else. |
This is coming from somebody in the restaurant industry(12 years), so I know what it is like to hear complaining all the time.

Doing so IMO builds a stronger repure with there customers. Like a restraunt that screws up your order may take an app off your bill, or give you an extra side on the house. Sure crap happens, but when your lively hood is making and keeping people happy, knowing how to handle situation when they aren't happy is key.

I don't think Paragon Studios must do anything to make it up to us, but I do think if they gave us something that worst case it would have zero effect. More than likely it would make a small positive impact.

I wasn't considering it either. I just wouldn't get upset if the devs decided to do it |

I mean I could use those merits for so many random rolls and help the market. ((incase you can't tell the above post is made in jest and not actually considering the 3000 merits idea a serious consideration)) |
I really haven't been bothered by the glitches. It happens. I keep playing and move on
Though I havent checked to see if I lost any of the things I had in storage in the auction houses either.I figure wait and see, and hope.

Apart from that, I can't really think of anything to do with a second build - I think my first build is fine for the stuff I do the most

Trade them for rare salvage and sell that on the market. You could make several billion with 3000 merits that way.
And then mail me the influence.

With any issue of this type, there will be people that will be unhappy with the results.
I am sure the dev’s are working to correct this as fast as possible and are aware that there are many unhappy players at the moment.
6 years some of us have been playing this game, we have seen worse issue launches with different problems but time makes them fuzzy and not so important.
If they “salvage” the market and my billion influence and 700mil Infamy’s worth of products and bids are still there when it comes up I will be ecstatic. If not well I have to play my favorite GAME some more, oh darn…
I am a casual player and do not have a lot of time. But like it was stated, the game was played before the market and globals. I think we will be ok.
PS. I thank the dev’s for busting their collective A$$’es for producing and maintain such a great game.
And Yea a badge would be nice LOL.

I'd be fine if the market never came back. Although, expanded (or even unlimited) Salvage and Recipe inventory space would be a VERY nice thing to have right about now. Well, a very nice thing to have /at .

Racist.
If they compensate people for the market being down, then all the glee provided by my shadenfreude will have been for naught.
Oh, wait, no it won't.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
