Game Mechanics: item poofing on cancelled player trade

[kaev]

player to player trade:
1. clicked on other player with item on my cursor (bearskin potion bag, if that matters)
2. other player cancelled so quickly the trade window had not opened for me yet
3. poof

Doesn't it come back if you zone or camp?

Yep this has happened to me a couple times when a trade gets canceled super fast.


Just zone or log back in you will get it right back.

Sorry, no. I posted the bug report the day after, after zoning and logging failed to unpoof my bag. It's a mechanic bug, not a client bug.

If the item on your cursor causes the item or bag to poof, or a quick canceled trade makes your item/bag poof you must automatically zone or type /sit /camp or your shit will more than likely be clicked into another bag or item and be destroyed. I used a levitate ring over my primary farming bag back in summer 2010 while super speed clicking it and kiting seafuries w/o snare. Poofed the bag, was kiting 2 so finished them as quick as possible and relogged char screen and back. Slot 1 backpack was inside of slot 2 backpack with all contents of 2 months of Allizewsaur loot poofed. Shit happens man you just gotta bite the bullet and move forward. Lost 6 black sapphires, 8 blue diamonds, 7 diamonds, 5 jacinths, jboots, and all 4 mage focus items (this was back when black sapphires pc'd 6-7k). Lifes a bitch sometimes, but you can roll with the punches. Devs can't do anything for unfortunate cases like these.
