Hello all,
The Merchant correspondent, DocSavag, is compiling a list of miscategorized items or other oddness in categories on vendors and the bazaar. It'd be great if we could lend some support to the merchants on this and provide a good list of bad categories and such. Post them here and I'll share this thread with DocSavag.
Thanks!

I would like to move that the entire "factory crates" category be removed and that things be categorized with reference to what they are rather than the fact that they are in a factory crate. For instance, powerups show up in factory crates rather than in the powerups category. That's just plain wrong and would lead a casual browser to think that the lazy artisans on his/her server haven't even been decent enough to put some powerups on the bazaar.
I also think some thought should go into the order in which items appear to the person browsing the bazaar. Maybe buying a premium auction should guarantee you first page listing instead of just a worthless star. And if no first page listings are left...well...you couldn't buy the 100 cr auction slots until they came available.

Both clothing attachments and armor attachments appear in the "clothing attachments" section even though there is an "armor attachment" section
Skirts appear in the "misc clothing" section, even though there is a "skirts" section.
Wookiee clothing appears throughout the various clothing sections despite one section called "wookiee clothing"
thats 3 i can think of so far. i'll check for more later

Here is an idea that would make it a lot easier finding something you are looking for!!
Lets say i wanna find Extrusive ore. It is not much Extrusive that is sold at the bazaar!
When i enter the Mineral-category, i see a lot of resources, then i sort em by name! Then i think that ALL the available aluminium should show up, not only the aluminium on that page. Now i check the page, at the "E" spot. No Extrusive. Then ill have to go to the next page, look at the "E" spot, and do that several times! If it put ALL "A" minerals first, then maybe on the first page there would only be aluminium and amorpheous gemstones but so what?
Then all the steel would be at page 4, instead of 1/4 of it on each page. Would make looking for something special much easier!!!
Any1 actually understanding this??? Im not good explaning things LOL

And wouldn't it be even better if the same items didn't repeat randomly from page to page...i've been looking for a particular mineral and had the same ones i looked at on page 1 show up on page 4,5, and 6 but not on 2 and 3 (on the bazaar). However when I look on a vendor I have never had that happen. Seems strange alsothat page 2 of the bazaar can be part of page1 again so you have to go thru more pages whereas on vendors page 2 is actually stuff that wasn't on page 1.

I kinda wish opening or collapsing the little category tree's in the bazaar didn't make it reload each time. What with the insanoe lag with using bazaar's it's a pain when you open the bazaar and you're on say all. But you want to check chest armor. You open the armor tree and then have to sit and wait while it loads the all catagory.
Then you load armor chests and wait for that to load. And once you're done you might want to check out clothing-boots. Open the clothing catagory and you've got to wait again while it reloads armor-chests.

Having factory crates appear in the correct category of the item rather than "Misc"->"Factory Crates" would be my top request.

#1 on my list would be to have Factory Crates of items go into the catagory that the 'single' items go into
Also, would like to see armor broken down by type as well...i.e. Composite, Ubese, Tantel, Bone, etc. (this along with the Arm, body, etc.)
Get rid of some of the catagories that never have anything in them like Entity, Building, Sign.
Can't think of more now that haven't been mentioned already. I'll give the bazaar a good run through this evening and take some notes.

I wouldn't mind having the resource container types broken down into sub-groups either. Leather Hide is a choice. Wooly Hide is another. Aluminum is a choice. Copper is another and so on.
Also, I have made millions of credits off the bazaar. And this gives me not one point of Merchant experience? I'm disappointed in that. There should be some way to give me some merchant experience without turning this into something folks could abuse in grinding out merchant quickly.
