I thinkwe needa modification of the stock time system currently used. I find it increasingly frustrating that you get a nice stock of saleable items on your vendors and the timer runs out. Auctions from bazaar items are fine, but the items on your vendor are stock. If you consider a shop, it holds it's stock for long periods. Our vendors are our shops, and I find it inconceivable that we should constantly have to restock our items after no time at all. I'm not advocating that stock shouldn't be regulated, but having to load each item from the stockroom piece by piece after 29 days gets a bit repetitive. What I'd like to see is a system whereby the merchant can control whether his stock runs via an auction type system or whether it is just flat stocking. As far as stock existence is concerned, the stock should remain viable as long as the vendor owner continues to pay maintenance on the vendor. If the vendor poofs, then the stock is lost. A Master Merchant is limited by a total amount of items his vendors can hold anyway, so why have the time-consuming malarkey we currently have to keep them stocked?

I completely agree with this. It would make my life SO much easier.

It would make our lives easier, The only problem we would have is that we would still be buying Loot Items for $1mil if people don't lower the prices and they sat there for the long haul. Maybe extend it to 60 or 90 days before restocking, not 30 days? Just a thought.

I agree.

I wish they'd give us an option to relist all or something. It is a big pain to have to relist lots of stuff every 30 days.

Wanderhome's economy is not nearly as inflated as Radiant's....I think a lot of the crafters on Radiant and some other servers are going to be in for a shock when the CURB gets here, because noone will be able to afford stuff.

30 days is not enough. Especially if you're unlucky and have 1000 items listed at the beginning of the month and another 1000 listed a week or two later!

If items would just not drop off the vendor but the vendor would go poof with no maintence that would be great. I'd take 60 or 90 days instead of the current 30 as well if that mechanic needs to be there.

Geez, i'd leave the thirty days there if I had a "relist all" button.
