Hail Cryptic!

Just lost some ECs on Drozana Station at about 200,000 ECs due to some glitch. Ktala has Trade 2 and on Quo'nos I noticed that Ferengi and Gorn will not buy items from you at 50% of the items value. So I sell to a Klingons vendors. Well I was at Drozana Station and know about the Ferengi not buying at 50% but on Drozana there are no Klingon vendors I can think of so I went to Opek(sp) to sell to. I check how much it would buy my stuff at. It was at 50% value. So I sold stuff to the little money grubber. Well, I started to NOT be able to by as many items as before so I went and turned FRAPS on. I took pictures. Sure enough it was saying it would buy at 50% the items value BUT the math for the profits was not adding up.
So 3 things. 1) It appears the vendor is buying at a lower price than stated. So the Ferengi is lieing. Since I was on my main Klingon I would like to kill the vendor now as a thief. 2) I am running Force Varify to make sure there is no data corruption on the STO program. 3) I also filed a GM help thing in game but was kicked just prior to pressing Submit so I am not sure it actually got accepted.

Also on another matter I have noticed there seems to be a problem w/ lots of people getting kicked from Fleet Alerts and if not during the fight then right at the big end fight. You may want to look into why people are getting booted in the end fight or just in general from the server.

    Being cheated by a Ferrengi is not a bug, it's a feature.

    This is not a bug, it's an intended feature. Don't you remember the warning from Commander Roxanne on Memory Alpha? She told you to never trust Ferengi vendors, as they will try to rip you off. This is true for any ferengi vendor thoughout the game, they will always try to rip you off. This is why I always sell loot in the armory on Deep Space K7 (Starfleet only) or Ganalda Station (KDF only). Starfleet and Klingon officers throughout the galaxy will always give 50%, non-starfleet/KDF officers only grant 40%, and Ferengi have a random chance to rip you off.

    So after Forced Verify I did eventually end up going back to Drozana Station on my main Klingon and looked at the cost of buying items from my character. I still did show that Orpek would buy the items at 50% of their value. That being said that is a problem.

    Also on with playing a Klingon and knowing about Samurai culture I am pretty sure at this point my main Klingon would kill the Ferengi merchant. After all, ALL my Klingons killed Feric or how ever her name was spelled.

    SO, Cryptic you guys need to fix that Ferengi or make it possible for my Klingon to kill Orpek no matter what the consequences would be for my character. If it had been a samurai that had been cheated, then the samurai would kill Orpek and then if necessary commit seppuku. The Klingons being honorable and warriors I am sure Orpek just signed its own death warrant by cheating my character out of ECs.
