Black Morrigan existed 8 months ago when some of those Standard items were first listed? Thanks for the info!

And some of the listings are 1-2 years old.

Would be pretty embarrassing and shameful if they dont revert sockets back to normal lol

FWIW: According to Reddit the craft has been fixed for now at least. We'll see what happens next.

From a dev perspective and assuming they do revert the items, reverting items from an unnatural state may take awhile to compile all the possible bugged items. Stuff like rare quivers, 1h, shields, etc should be easy enough to as they are limited to 0, 3, 3 sockets respectively. But then add in all the uniques, Stygian belts, and what to do with the gems that are currently socketed in sockets that shouldn't exist, and what to do if the player's inventory is full? I assume a remove-only tab and then a lot of people panic as they forgot hide remove-only tabs is a setting.

It's not going to be a simple fix, assuming they do anything.

So, there are only 3 alternatives.
1- ban 70% of the players due to a junior dev error that was not able to set a conditional
2-reverse all the items and pretend that nothing happened, say hotfix to what clearly needs a hotfix and not the ultimatum scarab that was a nerf but they call it hotfix.
3-say it is a hidden mechanic hahaha enjoy hahahaha new legacis items are created.
chose one. but faster, every min pp ar making more items

Posting this here for anyone that missed the new post.

"Fixed a bug which allowed the Bestiary craft using The Black Morrigan Recipe to not respect item socket rules. We're investigating the items that have been created through this method and are working on fixing them. Any gems socketed in these items are at risk for being destroyed when these items are fixed."

this is how the trade listings work.. you can take off the item and recolour etc but it remembers when it went live

If you re-price a tab, the date stays the same.
If you remove an item to your inventory and put it back for a tab/manual price, the listing is for that time, not the original posting.

Source: Me re-pricing some items last night and I just checked the dates. Only 2 items show I priced them last night, everything else has older listing dates.

GGG, tell us you don't really care about PoE 1 anymore without actually saying the words. =9[.]9=
