Game version: __ v1.31-(c5232698f) (2017-05-18 16:06)
Game world: __Beta
Browser + version: __Chrome 58.0.3029.110
Flash Player version: __25.0.0.171
Operating System: __Windows 7
Screen resolution: __1600 x 900
Account name: __Elderflower
Humans or Elves: __Elves

Reproducibility: _1/5 (1/5 = happened once; 2/5 = happens randomly; 3/5 = happens sometimes; 4/5 = happens often, but not always; 5/5 = happens always)

Quest title: __ (if applicable)

Current situation:
A lower ranked member of my fellowship needed steel. They put up a trade offer of 600 planks for 1800 steel which I accepted. However they did not get the steel. So we reversed the trade. I offered 1800 steel for 600 planks which they accepted and this time it worked.
Don't know if it is relevant but our time zones are about 12 hours apart at the moment.

Expected situation:
If a trade is posted on the trader it should go through as written.
__

Reproduction Steps:
1. Start a conversation with another player about unfair trades
2. Post very unequal trade 1:3 for them to accept
3. After they accept it ask them what they received.
4. Reverse the procedure with a 3:1 trade and see what happens.
5. __

Add more steps if needed. Include only ONE action for each step!

Screenshots of the bug:
I don't have any screenshots of the trader as we only realised what had happened after the trades were through but I do have pictures of our chat this morning.

I don't know if she did. I'll ask her when she comes back online. I think that should be this evening for me (tomorrow morning for her)

Thank you for your report. This is not a bug, but it is the result of changes that have been made recently regarding the way the game handles interactions between players. These changes were necessary in preparation for future improvements and to fix other bugs. This is the way it works now: When your trade gets accepted, you get the goods you asked for when your trades are processed. And this now happens when you a) login, b) open the trader, so not right away anymore. This means when Fellowship members help each other and players get notifications of accepted trades, they don't see their goods yet until they opened the trader (or reloaded the game). Unfortunately we missed it in our Release Notes (we did mention the game changes but missed this one to specifically explain). We will do so in the next Release Notes and will do our best to include it in the original Release Notes on our Live servers. Sorry for the confusion caused by it :)
