************************* MERCHANT ITEM LIMIT - SOE: WHY DONT YOU LET THE PLAYERS VOTE?? *************************
Hi Chefs, I am going to raise all my resources prices by 250%, you will probably not be able to afford them any more, what a shame. I am so sorry I have to do this, but on the TEST center SOE is capping my resource vendor item limit. Unfortunately I will have to overcharge and rip-you off to make up for the loss of profits I am experiencing...
Ok.. Disk space per MB is cheep! What is the basis for this Merchant item limit?
I am a resource vendor, I make my living selling resources! Have have about 500 items on my vendor at the minute... Small quantities of resources (5k and 10k stacks) so people can AFFORD them...
If this limit bs goes into effect, I am going to have no choice but to put up 100K blocks of resources for 450k-1.5mil...
Now how is that fun and enjoyable for the novice artisan??
Say good bye to armor, say good by to finding nice weapons.... So an armorsmith can only have 5 full sets of armor on their vendor?? Thats ridiculous... Comp Suits will be 1-2mil each because full sets will be impossible to find.
This will destroy the game and ruin the economy just in time for Jump to Lightspeed (which in case will probably not have any ships because nobody will be able to afford to make them).
Computing power is cheap... the reason the game lags is POOR INFRASTRUCTURE, not "Vendors having too many items on their vendors" give me a break...
Why doesnt SOE take 2 Days of the PROFIT that they "earn" from all of us and UPGRADE THE SYSTEMS!! And maybe hire a few MCSE's and CCNP's to fix the poor design...
Should be ashamed of theirselves... This will ruin the game and affact every single profession from Chef to Droid Engineer and from Armorsmith to Scout..... This will ruin the game.....
Blah....

Disk space would not be the issue - as you state, hard drive space is cheap these days. The reason would likely be game lag.
The more items in the database -the longer it takes to find any particular item - slowing the whole game down. It's a lot more complicated than that, likely, but I'm certain that's what it boils down to.

curious if maybe a backpack may solve this issue...armorsmiths put a backpack with a full comp set in it, then label the backpack with its stats...of course you would have to trust the armor smith. But Weaponsmiths, resourcers, Bioengineers, tailors, architechs, chefs, and loot vendors are all pretty much screwed. I highly doubt the Devs would be that retarded to instate this bogus crap, maybe they will fix the house item limit though, id love to actualy be able to fit the neccesary items into my house...just because i need 50 kinds of meat, 50 kinds of hide, 4 types of fruit, berries, alcohol, carbosyrup, dough, sweetcake mix, and protatoes and usualy end up putting up backpacks filled on my vendor for 99 million. So if they limit my vendor's then ill need to waste more lots to place 1000+ items in them.
