I've started minion feeding again...might as well work towards a different achievement since the darn vending machines are forever giving me error messages.
How are you coping??

What do you mean? I'm vending right now with no issues.

I keep getting that pesky ERROR! The vending machine is a little confused. Go back and try again! This could be the result of you refreshing on this page :(! I get it just about every time I try to vend, regardless of the machine. And waiting doesn't help.
And OD has it's own special brand of error - http://subeta.net/forums/view/528482

You just have to make sure that you don't click the machine twice, or it will give you the error. You can only click it once, and if you do get the error you can't use the back button it gives you, you have to go back a couple pages to your last vend and use that back button.

I don't double click...and I am not the only one having this problem. There are multiple boards about vending errors over in the Problems and Bugs forum.
I just thought I'd see what everyone else was doing instead of vending.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist, i was just speaking from my own experience. ^_^;

I turn back and refresh. XD

I am just vending slowly. sigh I hope they fix it soon.

I've only gotten the refresh error twice, and I've already vended 150 items. :o

The "fatal" errors haven't shown up since yesterday, so I'm glad about that too~

I'm able to vend - just very very slowly lol

when I cant vend I restock and do all the quests I usually avoid lol

The errors come and go, Right now I am vending, have done 1320 tokens so far

laughs Yeah, I'm starting to really dislike that particular experiment. If I had a pet slot open, I'd try and get one as a tribute to the busted machines. :P

I get the "vending machine is confused" error message a lot, but I just refresh at the vending machine's main page and that usually fixes it.

I've never gotten a fatal error or anything like that though. o.o

The fatal error seems to be limited to OD...but I get the confused error at all of the machines.

OD doesn't work for me when I try it first. But after 1 or 2 hours I try again and it works without a problem. It's odd...

The errors come and go for me. As for how I am handling it..? If I could, I'd break the glass and snatch everything up. >.< Really though, I keep attempting to get around the errors but when all else fails I lurk the forums and do my quests.

No...I'm not getting error messages.

LOL, sugarmuffin! I only got that fatal error twice today. Was actually able to get around it after going back to explore>island>OD several times.

The confused error really is driving me nuts today though. What is so confusing about it? I click the vending machine, you give me an item, I click to go back, we do it all over again. What is confusing about that process? Seriously. :P
