Help! I lost 100k+ crowns to nowhere when buying CE!
A friend and I were buying CE when it dipped to 3300 today. We both placed bids right on 3302. At the time I had about 1550CE and 185k crowns. I placed a 3302 bid, a couple more, 8-10 more, then I think 10 more, then another 20. My friend also placed a bunch. He said 26 when we were talking on Vent, but I'm not sure how much CE he started at.
After all was bid on, I was down to 30k crowns. (from the ~186k) and he was down to roughly zero from about 90k. I should've had about 47-48 bids for 100CE each. But after someone sold me the CE through the market, I only went up 2000 CE!? (to 35xxCE) His CE went up by about 2600, so all his bids seemed to register - but I've been short changed by about 3000CE!!
My theory is there's a bug... He put all his bids in one bid stack, but I had mine split. Maybe the game code checked for all bid stacks matching 3302 and cleared then after the 20 stack hit zero? Any which way... my crowns/bids vanished, and I don't have the CE I bid on! Help!

Yes, the Trade option for Crystal Energy appears to be bugged.
I first noticed it yesterday when I tried to buy 100 Energy. I clicked the button, my Crown was used, yet I never received the Energy. It happened to me again earlier as well.
Thankfully the prices for it are so low so I didn't lose -too- much, but this is still a serious issue since our Crowns are basically just disappearing.
