Glitchiness with Shop Wiz

Sat Jan 27, 2007 2:24 am

There's some glitchyness going on with the shop wiz.

I can't find at least a dozen of my items on the wiz, even though they have been priced.

Items are not being found even though I know that they are buyable.

I have a few Clay Slingshots in stock for 1000, when my shop group came up, my name wasn't there and the cheapest was 1800nps.

I have now repriced the Clay Slingshots but a lot of other items I can't find.


Is anyone else having problems?



EDIT:

These are the items I cannot find even after refreshing multiple times:

Lime and Orange Year Eight Cake
Purple Korbat Kite
Intergalactic Ice Cream Cone
Island Cybunny Guide
Desert Tuskaninny in the Box
Neopian Mote
Dark Chocolate Gnorbu
Strawberry Mynci Lollypop


A couple of these where already priced, but I could not find them again. o_O

I am not Wiz banned - but I am Super Wiz banned, even though I have not used it recently!! :roll:

I have seen this discussed on a few of the Neo chat boards--that people can find items on the super shop wiz that aren't showing up on the regular shop wiz. Sounds like another glitch. Not like we haven't had our share of them lately. Perhaps, Neo is tweaking something?????

I haven't checked the boards yet, I suppose I must bite the bullet, and have a wander over to the boards and check it out. :)


Thanks for the reply.

I can't find any Tyrannia World Challenge pieces on the wiz, even ones I know are very common (and which I have in my own shop).

Yeah, I don't go to the boards too often. Rarely post. But I find it good to lurk to see if any bad stuff is happening on the site--glitches, CGers, etc. BD chat and charter premium chat are good for that sort of thing.

My SSW and SW are working fine.

Yeah, I noticed this started a few hours ago and was hoping it would've passed by now. Vaeolus(es) were 40-50k and then suddenly none were to be found on the shopwiz at all. Actually, I'm having trouble finding anything that was priced above 20-30k yesterday.

I was on the boards earlier and people were posting about this. Seems to be about the same time that people with the greasemonkey extension could see the shop wiz again. Someone (can't remember who - but is able to look at script and make sense of it) said that the script was different. So, maybe something's being worked on?

It is a pain though, and there is a potential for TP scamming as I've read that a few people are trying to put things there at inflated prices since some things aren't showing up on the wiz. So, be careful out there!

Okkaaaay. Something's seriously messed up here.

My friend's comment over at LJ:

Just tested it...looks like it might be true.

I super shop wiz'd "Valentines Negg" and got a lowest price of 19500.
I then searched it on the regular wiz, and the lowest price I've been able to find after many refreshes is 25000.
I even noted that the lowest priced on the SSW is from a username beginning with M, and when the M group came up on the regular wiz 25k was the lowest price shown.


So basically, the only way you can get accurate prices is with the SSW.

I'm staying away from buying anything from the SSW for now. For all I know, I'd end up getting frozen for abusing an "advantage".
<hr>

Okay. So it turns out the problem is worse than I thought.

The SW isn't showing prices for the lowest 10-20 (?) items. The SSW, however, is.

Example: Codestones are 5k on the SW, but 4k on the SSW. Premium members can see the 4k ones, buy them all, and the price is pushed to 5k - making the lowest SW price 6k. So on and so forth.

Another example: Premium members cannot search for lab maps at all. The price of current lab maps is going to skyrocket, until they become unbuyable.

And a post from the Charter boards:

The bloodberry elixir is highly inflated on the TP. It is worth about 27k on SSW. I just had someone try and convince me to part with my lost desert PB, lol!

Regular members can't see the Bloodberry Elixir, and so they think that it's unbuyable when it's not.

This is going to screw up the economy - even if it's fixed when TNT are in the office, I'm dreading how much will happen in the next two days :/

Eep. I did a few searches today but didn't see much of a difference on some items, or so I thought. Then a few more expensive but buyable items didn't show up at all for me on shop wiz. I just checked Bloodberry Elixir and couldn't find any.

Anyone looked up the Lab map prices on the wiz lately ._.

It's going to be even worse once America wakes up, I fear.

Well, that hasn't happened......yet. The prices are fairly standard on Wiz and not much different on the Super Wiz.

I hope they can come back and fix it,I really wanted to wiz snipe after my sleepover.

I've been buying things for quests with my SSW and nothing has happened to me thus far *knocks on wood* I wonder why this is happening, and it was happening BEFORE TNT left the office, so why didn't they leave something on the news about it, or shut it down over the weekend so that no one could abuse it.

Oh damn, this is bad. I was planning on buying the lab map soon! I wonder if I should buy them all right now before prices rise even more this weekend, or wait a few weeks and maybe the price will settle down again? *debates with self*

Gah, stupid glitches always getting in the way of my plans! >.>
