That's pretty messed up. I was planning on getting one, too. 
FYI, a thread was started yesterday on that subject (you may have missed it):

IIRC the original Proc is a 5% chance?
The Market Proc being 3PPM means it will absolutely go off 3 times in a minute, it also means it will almost always go off on a power that has a recharge of 20+ secs.
Now I'm not a Math person but I think the performance is comparable and depending on what power your putting it into the PPM one might actually be superior to the 5%.
if in an Auto power I think the check is once every 10 secs
so that's a 5% chance every 10 secs or a guaranteed proc every 20 secs

Not sure how buying something off the market that works better than the stuff in game is a bad market experience. The fallout if they get changed or pulled off the market will be a bad experience no matter what they do.

I see...it does sound quite a bit better, after reading more about it. Interesting...

That 3 times a minute means how many times (on average) it will actually fire, not just get a chance to fire. In a power like Stamina (which rolls for the proc every 10 seconds), this means it has a 50% chance to fire on every tick. This makes it more than twice as strong (!!!!) as the crafted version.|

It should still be fixed IMO (and Synapse is apparently looking into it), but in the opposite direction from what you were thinking.

I guess what makes it bad is the fact that the end recovery will be impacted when they make the adjustment to correct it. Then, I'll have to respec, which I don't particularly enjoy.|

Hmm, I guess I can just burn an unslotter and put in the regular kind, just hate to level up a toon, expecting to have a certain amount of end, and then, all of a sudden, i won't.

If you prefere the crafted one, can always buy in game a lvl 21 one Proc and buy the rest of the set you want in the market.
BrandX Future Staff Fighter
The BrandX Collection
Let me explain.
I just happened to check the paragon market and found that they were selling perf shifters. They were on sale, too. So, I got 4. 280 points. Didn't have anything else pressing to spend the points on, so why not.
I pull one from the e-mail and see that these perf shifter procs to do NOT work the same way as the ones that I can buy from wentworths. They only work 3 times a minute. Now, I haven't tested it to see if this will work just fine, but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't work nearly as well as the one I can get through merits or wentworths.
I think that when I buy other products like lotg 7.5% from the market and they buff recharge the same as in game procs, I expected this proc to work the same as the one in game.
So, let my bad experience be a lesson to be learned by all - before you buy anything, go to beta, buy it and look at it first. Because these people are simply not to be trusted.
