Fixed an issue that prevented the Advanced and Expert Riding Licenses from being granted properly to some players with the Advanced or Expert Riding Skill.
Whitevale
"The Emissary" quest in Whitevale has been changed to stop players from getting stuck at various points while doing it. Anyone who was in a stuck state should now also be fixed.

			Really hoping that the people (if any) that abused that exploit have had there currency rolled back atleast...

{| class="blockquote"
Sometimes stuff happens. The currency ID for gold could be "1" and elder gems could be "2" or "11" and someone just made a typo when designing the item (accidentally setting a "redeem for" value to something other than gold). Granted, this is all speculation. Weird symptoms can sometimes have straightforward reasons.

People who abuse the bug with EG must be rolled back in currency. And people who abuse this in great numbers must be banned for a while. IMO.
Wrong sell currency - is a bug at all. We shouldn't use bugs.

Usually you wouldn't QA a tradeskill item to make sure it sold back for the right price / currency, so not really surprising that this made it through.  Hopefully it was limited and they can likely track / remove those gains anyway.

Well to be fair, as far as i can see to abuse the item you would have needed to:
 
Know about it in the first place
Be level 50 AND a master Architect
Have ~20 k vouchers to buy the recipe and advance through 2 tiers of follow up recipies
Have your desired things unlocked via already achieving silver/gold in various advs/dungeons
Have enough gold/mats to craft said item a "bazillion" timesDon't get me wrong, I am not saying that this is a horrible bug to make it into live but to all the doomsayers that think that full guilds are now bathing in Elder Gems... yeah,  I highly doubt that. There will be a hand full of people who abused the bug and since it is only a hand full they can be easily tracked by Carbine (especially since it allowed you to get more than your weekly cap of EGs, any kind of half-ass logs should be able to filter those) and then "be brought to justice", whatever that means.

Why? If you were clever enough or lucky enough to find this bug and exploit it, why should you have it rolled back?  I don't look at it as if it is not fair for those other people.  I look at it more like that the players who did discover the bug had won the lottery.  Now if you win the lottery does that mean that you have to give all of your winnings back just because other people weren't as fortunate?  
 
Everyone had the chance to find the bug and exploit it.  Don't let your sour grapes ruin other peoples good fortune.  Sheesh!
 
If I discovered this bug.  I would abuse the crap out of it and tell no one (maybe a few close friends).  Anyone who says otherwise are either saints or liars.

			You really need to look into your employees and see if any one team or individual keeps making these stupid mistakes. I'm an ICU RN and if i made even small mistakes at work someone could die. I know it's hard to hold everyone to that standard but if you want an amazing game...hold your employees to a greater standard. Are you all drinking beers and getting drunk while coding these "fixes"? Every time you say you've fixed one issue that creates two new ones!!! Get your act together Carbine.

{| class="blockquote"
Exactly. Where does it stop?
 
Make sure all several thousand items can be:
Looted properly
Sold properly
Moved between bags properly
Put on the AH properly
Mailed properly
Put in bank properly
Trade properly
Put in guild bank properly
...The list goes on
You do this testing with different types of items (bound to character, not bound to character, etc) not for every item in the game, that's a ridiculous waste of time.

To be honest if this elder gems thing is not rolled back then i will probs end up stop playing soon'ish as it sucks to see other people i know in game with a large amount of skill/amp points opened up and knowing i am now months behind. Bye bye raid spots as people can't keep up with them on DPS.

Yeah, iam Jealous and ? I want the Skill and AMP Points too, man Everyone WANT them ! But the difference is how do you want to get them by an Exploit or Effort !?
 
Even if the Expoiters would be 0,0000000000000000000001 of the Community, i dont care ! Iam Pretty sure there are enough Guilds who Exploitet the Hell out of it and have Already MAXED AMP and Skill Points which i will absolutly no Accept !
 
In this Situation an Elder Gem Rollback would nt change anything, like i said, becasue they already bought everything they want ! Also an Short Time BAn isnt enough too, if they would get banned for 2 weeks or so they still would be 80 weeks ahead of everyone !
----
			
SO much butt hurt in this thread. Yes we all want the AMPs and abilities via EG. Calling for a roll back makes sense. Calling for a ban? Grow the f*ck up. It should never be a bannable offense to take advantage of a dev's screw up. Duping items or scamming players or using 3rd party software - ok ban them.
 
Finding a currency mistake, or some random group of mobs that only hit for 40 damage in Malgrave (so you can exp faster for example) = roll back.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet but is kinda important to the whole story: The item in question was soulbound and therefore not trade able to friends/guildies/your sister etc. (Not saying the bug isn't a big thing on it's own, but you gotta get the picture of 1 architect supplying a whole guild with "free" elder gems out of your head).

Good luck spending hundreds of gold leveling Architect to master & do bugged dailies to accomplish 15 k vouchers (I don't think that is even possible with 1 set of dailies) to even buy the schematic within a timeframe of <24 hours.

Edit: After a while it started working again o.O it was broken while I logged in at my house, then went to Illium to get to Grimvault, it was still broken, teleported back to my house, neighbor's house, back to Grimvault, not broken anymore.
 
This hotfix somehow completely broke my Artisan's Laser Chainsaw.
 
When I try to equip it, I get "You can not use that."
 
When I try to buy another I get "You can only have one of this item." (although that's not a bug)
 
When I try to sell it I get "This item cannot be sold."
 
When I try to delete it, nothing happens, and it stays in my inventory.

			 Im sorry for a strong opinion on this one.. but there needs to be some serious damage control and tracking on the red tape.. especially since we are all watching the raid races. It wouldn't be fair to the guilds that are out there busting bricks to be out shined by some exploiters who got an unfair advantage over a piece of stained glass. If someone was caught cheating in a casino they would go to jail for it..	
----
			
Man, server is down for like just over an hour....which isn't much especially when you compare to other MMOs where it's at least 8+.
 
Anyways, hope you either roll back or punish anyone who abused that bug. Exploits should NOT be tolerated, especially as bad as that one...wow.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Our Customer Service team is already looking at the logs for people who exploited this. While I can't talk about the outcome of the investigation, rest assured, it's being looked into.
 
We were able to query the logs, and our findings show that it wasn't a wide-spread issue. Yet. As someone else kindly pointed out, it required a pretty beefy character to even get to that point. Nonetheless, it's potential was one of the reasons why we decided to deploy a hotfix tonight (during downtime) before it could spread.  ;)

i didnt read all the forum topic because the whining got me tired i dont see how carbine can read this without getting fed up with their players fore dissing everything they do, i do understand the consern but guys mellow out and give carbine some elbow room to fix the few if not meny buggs that allways are in mmorpg.s wich dose have more contents than anyother shangra, anyway i am a architect but didnt pick the crafting skill to gaine any sertan advandage in the game as everyone propably know it dosent give you any gear as armor smiths or cloth tailors and so on, you can decorate your plot get a small xp boost from decorations and thats about it, the bug was there yes and now it has been fixed instead of wrighting the same over and over againe then let carbine work on it and futur bugs as there are others to address, and carbine your doing a good job, not really sure that you hear that much with so much whining in the forum

			I'm tired of hearing people complain about exploiting. Look if they were duping items then yes exploit ban. If a vendor was selling something that's not an exploit. That's bad design. That would be like saying iron chunks on the CX were selling at 2 silver OMG no. Let's make it only 1 silver permanent for iron chunks. Something else just took its spot as highest profit now so now what ban succession? Same for OP classes. Nerf one and another takes it spot. Who cares just play. You're upset because you were late to the party.

So many people are sooooo butt hurt over this. You all seem to have the Youtube mentality where you think you know better then the people getting payed. If that was true then you would not be on the forums complaining, you would be at your job at carbine. Have you ever thought that maybe the item does not always sell for elder gems? That there has to be a set combination of actions for it to? Or that maybe only 1 vender or a few sold it for elder gems? It would take forever to test all that and then you would all have complained about that to. The QA team is small compared to the amount of players in wildstar and sometimes it takes the player base to find issues because they are so big. Carbine is fixing things as they can find them while trying not to take down the servers everyday to fix it. Carbine is obligated to tell you what actions were taken against the people who abused the bug, legally or otherwise. You don not have a "right" to know. WoW (the biggest mmo) is still having issues like this and it has been out since 2004. That is 10 YEARS and they still have hackers and teleport hackers mining ores and they still have bugs.
 
Your also missing the fact that the people doing this probably did not even report it. So it took a chance finding by carbine or them to notice people gaining large amounts of elder gems or someone to do the RIGHT thing and report it.
 
And again if you knew better then carbine then you would be running it or be working for them. But your NOT.

			There have been / are already so many exploits its ridiculous.Yesterday before this patch I saw someone spamming "Selling AMP skill points 11P", makes me wonder if he exploited this and if so, he got like 2k plat now.And the people saying "qq pls!@@! only handfull did so no impact omgad!!!!" are real ignorant. Exploits break a game faster then any hack, especially exploits like this one. I am not playing 1 year to reach the endgame (max ability points and amp points) and meet people saying "Ha, finally managed the same thing we did in 3 weeks after launch huh"? Beats most of the competitive gameplay. Now you can qq about 'fun>competitive gameplay' but then I must assume you're still like low level 30.

			This is a bad bug, but I remember GW2 it took them over a year to realize that they were dropping Dye's far more than what they originally wanted at launch. I'm not peeved after reading through this.	
----
			
Although it doesn't directly affect me, there is that crazy little thing called competition and players/guilds going for 'world firsts'. I suspect developers don't really care about such things, but for a MMO with such a 'hardcore' experience, any unfair edge is likely to get players riled up, especially players in this domain. I'm not sure how legit a lot of these competitive guilds are, as I've seen some of the dodgy stuff a competitive guild has done and exploited back in vanilla WoW days, but even if a less known, or random guild is/was able to exploit this, and get the edge over players that do this for a living, you can expect there to be a lot of fuss.
On that note, are there actually any seriously competitive guilds player Wildstar? Ones like Nihilium and err.. other guilds I can't recall, lol.

			Wow.  The butthurt here is amazing.  If your so upset that you didn't get to partake in an exploit then please do us all a favor and go back to WoW.  Bunch of entitled, whinny, crybaby bitches, seriously.

Alrighty, I am doing all of you a favour ( those players who think that there are players now with full amps/ability points ). It was literally impossible to get them all through the time, that the bug had been active. Now here's the math on the mats required to make the windows for FULL AMPS and ABILITIES:
 
 
Required window mats: galactium 5x, starshard 3x, novacite 2x, hardwood 2x - 5 EG per window
 
 
Ability points - 2800 EG(for full set) : Amount of windows = 560
AMP power - 3200 EG(for full set) : Amount of windows = 640
 
Now let's do the math on the mats for ability point windows and amp windows mats.
 Ability points - Galactium ore required 2800x, Starshard required 1680x, Novacite required 1120x, Primal Hardwood required 1120x.
 AMP power - Galactium ore required 3200x, Starshard required 1920x, Novacite required 1280x, Primal Hardwood required 1280x
 
 
Now look at the total amount of mats required to GET all the AMPS and ABILITIES: Galactium ore required 6000x, Starshard required 3600x, Novacite required 2400x, Primal Hardwood required 2400x.
Now after seeing the bloody numbers, do you actually THINK that someone managed to get max amps and abilities? If they had bought the mats off the CX , then those mats would be literally non existant. I hope yall who keep on crying, will clam the duck down now. :>

			It doesn't matter if they didn't max out, they still got could easily get half of that and they would be 4.6 months ahead of everyone else.

So far I have seen people relating MMO Launch Bugs to:
 
Buying a House
Buying a Car
Intensive Care Unit
 
 
Wat.  Are these forums a joke or do these people actually exist in the same world as me?  This is a game, right?  ...Entertainment?  ...right?

guessing you dont work anywhere near software. I do support for a software company, the developers make a small change, the theory is of course that what they fixed has nothing to do with another component.

You guys can complain about Architect´s having lots of cash when
A: It doesn´t take me 3 proffesions to farm the stuff I need in large quantities to craft.
B: When I have recipes in the game so I can actually MAKE half my stuff.
C: When my circle crafting doesn´t actively put the circles for variants in unreachable spots half the time.
After that, you can complain all you want, but Techs and Archs have the short end of the stick right now, and the way I see it, this bug is Carbine´s way of saying ¨Sorry your stuff isn´t working right now.¨ From someone who didn´t even get to do the exploit, taking away the profit is akin to just saying Architect is something Carbine doesn´t care about. At all.

LOL, the Intensive Care Unit person made me laugh so hard. Like, come on, this is a game! Intensive Care Units are dealing with people in danger of dying. This game is dealing with cupcake-loving-desk-biters. I love this game... I'm completely fine with their progress and responsiveness to bugs. I think they are doing a great job considering how many MMO launches I've been in. The game is very playable. It's not crippled. Also, I appreciate their honesty! They at least tell us about the patch and give us details, even if it may make them look bad.

Why? If you were clever enough or lucky enough to find this bug and exploit it, why should you have it rolled back?  I don't look at it as if it is not fair for those other people.  I look at it more like that the players who did discover the bug had won the lottery.  Now if you win the lottery does that mean that you have to give all of your winnings back just because other people weren't as fortunate?  
 
Everyone had the chance to find the bug and exploit it.  Don't let your sour grapes ruin other peoples good fortune.  Sheesh!
 
If I discovered this bug.  I would abuse the crap out of it and tell no one (maybe a few close friends).  Anyone who says otherwise are either saints or liars.

			You should have been Architects well at least got stack of elder gems before they fixed.

I know this is late. Just wanted to post to all the fanboys and bad consumers out there. You would not accept this from any other service/product you purchased, yet we as gamers have accepted bad releases as "the norm" because it's "AMG Don't be mean to the big business, it's hard to code!". We set the standard for them by accepting it, and it will continue to exist until enough of the consumer actually makes a stink about it. If you don't want to "bash Carbine" then don't. However, it's foolish of you to try and stifle those that are complaining, which at best will do nothing but benefit you and at worst (and most likely) do absolutely nothing. It may not be the programmers fault that they were told to have it ready for a release that was unfeasible, but that doesn't mean that it still isn't ready.

Prior to getting bashed..I would like to say I've been playing MMO's for many years and have yet to see any gaming company give a gift or an extra privileges to those that put on their "captain save-a-ho" capes and try to defend them. Do it if you wish, you are accomplishing nothing, and possibly slowing down progress.

Except that this is not a lottery. So if you had a chance to steal something from a shop because the cashier guy was busy with a customer, it is fair game? You have some disgusting mentality there my friend.

Yes.  We are all fanboys/FANGIRLS

The Stained Glass Window housing decor item, crafted by Architects, no longer sells to the vendor for Elder Gems.

Was this really a thing? How does that even happen.

FIXED because we do not play in an all male WS world.

It happens because MMO's like Wildstar are among the most complex programs routinely used by human beings, with millions or billions of lines of code in thousands of constantly interacting routines. It's a mess of electronic spaghetti and butterfly effects, where a little coding tweak in one place can have unforeseen results in seemingly unrelated areas across the game. I remember being online one day long ago in the original EverQuest, when the devs suddenly downed all the servers with no warning, because low-level garbage mobs somehow started randomly dropping loot from the end-game bosses! Wildstar hasn't had any issues on that scale yet that I know about, but just knowing how computers work, I definitely would not be surprised...

			Seriously ? Stop complaining all the time people, it's getting boring !

The only way this is like "winning the lottery" is if you were printing your own lottery tickets after the drawing.
 
To exploit a bug is cheating, those who exploited this bug did not "win" anything, they are just cheaters.
 
 
Sorry for you if you don't get that...

Sadly, since the emergency patch Sunday night, the rated bg queues have stopped popping for people queuing as a group. Since the patch Sunday night we have gotten less than 6 pops in 12 hours of game time and that is simply broken. This needs an immediate fix because there are many like us who are not playing this game for the PvE content.
 
Going to keep reporting this and bumping it until it gets acknowledged as the game is coming up to resub time and we are debating as to whether or not to do so. Simply can't pay for a game we cant play.

I did rated BG's in a full 10 man for over 6 hours last night, and the longest we had to wait on a que was 20 minutes.  Don't know what your doing wrong to only get 6 que's in a consecutive 12 hours of gameplay.
 
20 minutes on a que is still kinda ridiculous though.

	Over 30 minutes (and counting) solo queued for rated BGs duringprime time. Not like I am high ranked either... cause I cant get pops period. Only 1487

			Quick thought, did you check to make sure that you weren't just queuing for your realm only?
