Thread: Architects Poll what are you going to do when the Vendor fix is implemented?

I just don't see that he's calling this an exploit. Maybe that's me.
Thunderheart also shot down your resource stack increase proposal. Yet you rightly campaign on. He may not have intended this, but an immense player economy has evolved around it. I think that the existence of the system as is demands that any changes be considered carefully.
You folks crack me up on this. I agree with Furia, btw. I view the people who want this change (which would do great harm to the economy - those who can't see this are a lost cause)as attempting to make most of their fellow gamers suffer. The economy is based on a FREE MARKET model, and to be a viable economy then people need to have easy access to it. By restricting access, folks are trying to control the economy (robber barons). I don't have a problem with people making plays for power, but don't get upset when someone calls you on it.
Do you really believe that the devs intended that Doctors, Combat medics, Smugglers, Rangers, etc spend 24 POINTS for a box vendor??? The merchant class has been broken since launch, and IMO should be eliminated.
They should eliminate the ability for a non-crafter to use a schematic, as that is a bigger exploit in my opinion. How many of you have dropped master artisan, then bought a schematic of MSS for your stations???
As to be able to use a skill/ability without the required profession, you have heard of skill tapes right? By your definition, using a skill tape without the profession is an exploit. That's just BS.
I love the ability to edit when the forums don't co-operate.

"Merchant: Currently there is a lot of debate about the fact that there is no skill point check for managing vendors. Is it the intent of the development team that vendors operate normally even when owned by players who no longer have the Management skill required to place that vendor?

Ouch, Aucob got pwnd! My apologies go out to the folks calling exploit. You are correct, my bad. Thanks for bringing us up to speed Pawlin!
Furia, I gotta agree with Bober, there's not a whole lot of grey area when TH is saying that the devs are "fixing" something that was "never intended". Exploit while you can
Thx for remembering an old Bothan, Cafa! Nope, no Jedi for Aucob

I'm much too casual a player for that. I got tired of doing harv runs (this happened right before our mayor set up a static harv field) and started investigating professions involving combat. But I've never forgotten my first love, Architect
Not even close to analogous.

Lawdy, testify! This is the most annoying thing in the world. Why can we not select multiple items and offer them up for the same price?

You're probably right. I think it should have been done from the start. But then I also wouldn't put it past these guys to have an easy way to implement it but just not do it cause they're busy and/or don't see a big need.
