Ok, there you go again....missing the point. A bug implies an error in the programming. There IS NO ERROR -- that is how it is designed to function. IF you don't like the way they choose to mange your time, that is a disagreement with the design, but it is not an error in the coding--which is what you are saying when you say it is bugged, that there is a glitch in the code. Sauying it is retarded is completely different--that means you don't like the way they designed it to work, not that it is bugged...simply you don't like the way it works. But it is in fact behaving as it was coded to do.

It is even mentioned in SE's play guide hosted on their servers:
http://www.playonline.com/pcd/verup/...23/detail.htmlVisitant Status
The "visitant" status is essential for those wishing to journey within Abyssea. You will be permitted to remain there only while this status is active. Upon arrival in Abyssea, speak with a "Conflux Surveyor" NPC posted nearby to be granted visitant status in exchange for traverser stones. One stone will allow you a 30-minute stay (Earth time), with 120 minutes being the maximum permitted duration. Methods exist that allow players to extend their visitant duration.
**note that went up 6/22/2010
Shortly after it's release, it was well documented that if you tried to extend your time past 120 minutes of added time you would loose the excess minutes on your stones, since there is a cap to how much time you can add from any method other than time from chests. This is not new info, and is not a bug--it was intentionally designed that way.
Many have not agreed with that. Many have lobbied (including myself) to having that cap extended in line with our abyssites (keep the cap inline with 4x our stones actual time, as it was initially 4X30, with 6 sojourns it should extend to 4x48). But that is a disagreement with the decision to implement the cap the way they did--it is not an error in the coding, and hence is not a "bug". It may be "buggered" in the sense that it's a bassackwards design, but it isn't "bugged" in the sense that it's a harmful glitch or exploit.
