Peace all!

What is UP with the lag on the vendors? SWG Devs, please cut it out!

For the Artisan professions, vendors are how we make most of our living!!! That means that we spend a lot of time putting crap for sale on vendors with the hope that players will spend a lot of time coming to and back to our vendors. But it's taking over 30 seconds to post a sale, or to even just look at what's on a vendor, and sometimes the vendors just don't load - that's bad, that's very very bad for the crafting professions!

And no, it ain't my connection!

The problem is that during peek hours, when you'd expect more folks to be scoping your vendor to check your goodies, people can't even access the vendor! They don't bother buying!

This cuts deeply into the pockets of crafters. We blow a lot of money running around the Galaxy in boredom, searching for superior resources to make the best stuff, but with your data management, no one can buy any of our stuff, and so we go broke! Fun game! Meanwhile, Commandos, the high-school jocks of SWG, pick up thousands of credits for missions they can wave a hand at to complete!

Come on devs, I know you got beat up in grade school, but that doesn't mean you should turn your back on your past! Your all sensitive, creative-crafter-types too! Help the crafters out here:

1. Clean up your server leaks!

2. Fire anyone who has any kind of managerial or overseer position in the data management scene at SOE! (Sheesh! Who did you hire? Your mother? Wait, no, your good old friends? The boss’s nephew?) Hire some educated data managers, like you know, someone's who's heard of Oracle!

3. And finally, if you really want to spare us your inept data management: PLEASE STOP RUNNING THIS GAME OFF OF MICROSOFT ACCESS!!!

Ok, please?
