And to continue on the issue of whether or not to believe Funcom, if someone has a history of lieing to you, and they tell you something, do you believe them? If so, you must be pretty darned gullible. In which case, I have a bridge I want to sell you...
As for the issue of whether or not Tindra saw a tradewindow pop up, unless Tindra says something about it, we won't know. I have no reason to trust Funcom, but I have no reason NOT to trust Tindra.
