Okay, so that is why there are Blue posts acknowledging that there is a bug. Not everyone is affected by it, so it never hurts to check.
Getting heated here doesn’t serve any purpose at all as it is a forum for players to assist other players. No staff comes here beyond our SFAs and they have no hand in resolving bugs.
If they don’t push out a hotfix before then, I would guess (emphasis on GUESS, as I am not a Dev) Tuesday maintenance will be the time to expect the fix to go live. Even then, the Trading Post event is active all month, up until the new one starts March 1st.
But there isn’t any reason to get riled up until the fix goes live since no one here has any concrete information about how things will go when it is live. That’s why they mention that “we do not believe any credit or progress has been lost.” It’s the 5th of February. There are still 23 days left on the off-chance they’re wrong and you have re-do anything.
