[investigating] New Rube can offer the same trade twice

The new version of Rube offered me twice the same trade, even though I have in my inventory a large choice of items that he likes. It's a bit of a ripoff, since there's the 5 offers limit...  and he's already half of a scammer :P

  • There's a five offers limit?

  • Yeah, I got offered the same deal three times. And I think it was something like a focus orb for my high class hoe which I rejected. When I saw him again recently he went and skipped straight to the second deal without showing the first! Who has been teaching the Rube these things? :P

  • It happened to me too. :-D I don't like New Rube. In fact, I think I'll ignore him now. It's just not worth it, when I can't get a cubimal box for an old broken pick anymore. :-p

  • I got the same option 3/5 times as well, he REALLY wanted to give me a pick for a metal rock. I don't mind the 5 limit, but 5 different options would be nice.

  • i'm only double posting because it is 15 days later - still happening. Was just offered the same thing 2/5 times

  • I've had this happen before. I wouldn't have thought it was a bug, just me being unlucky.

  • A month from the original post, and this is still happening to me.

  • Same here. He's getting a little pointless most of the time :/

  • I've had the first trade be "2/5," and I'm also still seeing the repeated trades.

    I'm becoming far less likely to pay attention to the Rube. He's not nearly as much fun when he wises up...

  • Yep. Just got the same offer two times in a row. It's happened to me before, I think, within the same 5-offer cycle, but I always doubted I was remembering correctly. This time it was back to back.

  • Happened to me yesterday too, and it was a really poor trade.

  • Got two of the same offers too.

  • This has happened to me a couple of times, and usually it's trades number 4 and 5 that are the same. Like his last offer is REALLY insistent. Like, "Are you FREAKING SURE you don't want this knife and board for your carrot? I asked you once, I'mma ask you AGAIN!"

  • got the same offer three times tonight. :/ no, i really don't want to give you my hoe for a grilled cheese. (or something like that.)

  • This just happened to me - he kept trying to offer a crabato juice for a barnacle talc, which I did not want to part with. Very frustrating, it would be fine if it was just 5 different offers but if you get the same one, feels like less than 5 :(

  • He seems to be offering more "bad" offers lately, also.

  • I've gotten 2-3 of the same trade offers on some Rubes, as well. It's been awhile, 3 might be an exaggeration, but DEF 2...

  • I didn't know it was a bug; that's has happened a few times, he pushes a trade that you just rejected.  Grrr.  
    I've also had a few recent encounters with him where all the offers were poor - a 100c item for a 50c item, whee!   (I guess that's kind of ungrateful, but it's far more fun when his trades are really mismatched.)

  • This happened to me last night (it happens frequently!) - Rube offered me the same thing twice in a row.

  • There is a five offer limit.  Yesterday two of those offers were the same.  Sometimes I wish I could view all 5 at once and choose but that would remove the fun.  I have noted that the best offers I seem to get are the first two.

  • Happened again 2 days ago, with trades 3 and 4 being the same. I managed to talk to him again after I'd exhausted all 5 trade options (before he disappeared), and got a different one (which I took him up on).

    Rube is looking a little weary... maybe he has termites?
