Trader Tool Broken?

[seanjo]

I don't know if it is a bug or is intentional.

I buy an item that shows it will sell for a profit at another port, obviously, I use the trader tool for this.

So I sail to the port and a few times the item I want to sell is selling for 1 gold, instead of the price showing in the trader tool, even though I have reached the port and the tool should update, the tool still shows the profit price, while the shop is buying for 1 gold.

Is this a bug that will be fixed or is it intentional?

The tool is only the price of the goods at the time servers come back up after maintenance.  Maybe those goods have been bought and sold to port in that time since and over stocked it as per why it's now 1 gold.  Remember that tool is not anything other than a reference.

So it's part of the game, not a bug?

It is not a bug, Trader tool is not updating live at the moment, it is more like a reference tool to get the general idea about pricing

When does it update?
