Commodities Market/Vendors: Fix to no longer allow people to sell bags that are not empty on vendors.
Commodities Market/Vendors: Added error messages for attempting to sell items in trade windows, non-empty bags, and un-tradeable items like goggles and light sabres.

If that's what it is, it's a stupid nerf. Why did they have to do this?

Because it's a great tool for griefing. You can't check what's inside the pack when it's on the vendor.

Think they should have at least given the exa command for teh container. Seeing the capacity filled is better than not being able to see anything at all.

As far as teh armor thing goes, looks like i'll be making ALOT less bracers and biceps.

You think it would help to ban anyone from the shop who doesn't buy a full set?

Maybe I should hang a sign outside that says "Buy full suits or DIE!!!"

Looks like I need to go through my stuff. I have 4 houses filled with supplies and everything else in bags on vendors.

In the long list of stupid things that they have wasted our time with, this is by far and away the stupidest. I differentiate myself from other armorsmiths by selling complete sets and outfits that I have taken the time to craft and coordinate and this ridiculous nerf will ruin that. The only thing I can think is that some people have been ripped off by shady merchants and they want to stop that from being allowed. Well you know what? I am not a shady merchant and I pride myself on happy customers. And now, since armorsmith is armorsmith and they refuse to add to the profession so that we can differentiate ourselves from each other, I suppose I will just have to be like everyone else. Idiots!

No, I don't think grief had anything to do with it. Rather, it's probably the problem with needing ever-expanding databases because people can store full bags of stuffin their vendors' storerooms. I know I ordered a full run of 1,000 droid storage compartments from a DE, he dropped them off in two bags onto my vendor, I paid for them, but have not retrieved them out of my storeroom yet. I imagine others use that space for lots of things as well, including lots of full backpacks.

Fine, deal with the database/storage problem - i.e. make each item count toward the vendor's allowable limit - buy don't just take the feature away! And to prevent grief, make it so the bags can be opened and inspected on the vendor, prior to purchase!

Anything would be better than the "fix" they've just dropped on TC.

i just think its stupid. so basically its going to make us make extras of the chest, helm, and pants because people use that more than anything else. i'd prefer to sell whole suits than individual pieces. it just takes too long to load 40 suits piece by piece. if that's the case i can see alot of armorsmiths quitting the profession.
