Rejected Broker Expiring

I had a broker out to someone. Near it's expiry time they rejected it, meaning I should have had 700mins to go and fetch the goods before they went into the open.

But at the expiry time, it expired, even though it had been rejected~! And the goods went into the open (thankfully I was online so could keep them) but this seems most odd.

I thought it might have been rejected in the turn that it was meant to expire, but this was not the case. It was rejected the turn before. Here are the inbox PMs I got. Note the times.

Now, if I'm mistaken I'm mistaken but I thought the brokers if rejected had 700mins to get claimed, but they did not expire in the mean time. But this would indicate that broker expiry over rides all things.

I was under the same impression, but your case seems to show differently.

I'd say this needs to be brought up at admin meet.

I have the same problem except the first time I thought it was a fluke. I missed the trade. But the second time it happened my friend lost a million troops to a massing.

It just happened yesterday and today. I rejected it yesterday just hours into the trade. It sent me the broker message saying trade was rejected. Today I sign on and it tells me the trade expired? He just got done ascending and the trade was for ten mil so I hope he goes on and trains them before someone sees it.

As this isn't the first time I was paying attention. I rejected it more than 24 hours prior to the expiration on the trade and well I gues I could test it to get you some hard figures. Is this being looked into already?
