I don't have this problem. I have a friend running my vendor, she gets 10% of all sales.

We both think this is a fair deal.

i dont really have that problem. i picked upbusiness 3 so i have 1 vendorand i have CH as my "combat skill". been doing ok so far since i created myself agood pet thats a killing machine. also my guildies give me a ton of help with resources and such so i dont even have to go out and hunt half the time.

lol this is why I sell my pets for 6k.

It takes 29 points in medic, and 29 points in scout to qualify for novice BE. It then takes 63 points to master BE itself. That's 121 points gone. If you take up artisan, and go up to business 3 where you get one vendor, that's an additional 24 points. We are now at 145 points for master BE with a vendor. That leaves 105 points for a combat prof. So let's say you like unarmed, you pick up novice brawler for 15 points and go up the unarmed tree for another 14 points. That's 29 points to qualify for novice TK. That leaves 76 points to master TK with, but to master it, you only need 63 points. So you're amaster TK/BEand have 13 skill points left over. Where did I go wrong here?

You can't make a single good pet without expoloration 4, which is another horror.

well i guess bottom line is you have to pick up artisan/merchant to get a vendor or get someone you really trust to work a vendor for you.

yes BE's are crafters, but so are medics, doctors, combat medics, scouts, smugglers, entertainers etc. most may not be pure crafters but the way i see it if we get vendors at master, all these other professions will or will want the same treatment. then the merchants will get their panties in a bunch and another fight will ensue.

Correct and we can have vendors. However vendors are not essential to selling, they are a tool which makes it easier however you do not need a vendor to operate a business. That is the purpose of the skill point system, if you want to do something better you need to take more skills. However there is only so much you're capable of, the system was designed to encourage interdependance. You'll be seeing more and more of that in the future.
