To the people that don't read the merchant boards : there are plans to remove the, euh, feature where a full backpack in a vendor would only count as one item for your maximum number of vendor-items. It will count as 51 items somewhere in the future.

Does that mean that backbacks with 50 items will count as 51 items to the vendors limits WHEN PLACED AS OFFERS by customers? Or for that matter, rejected intirely from the bazaar (25 item limit) as a sale?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Cheers

Sneaky :-)
I donno if the items in the stockroom or waiting room or whatever **edit** towards the maximum. But my guess is that sooner or later they will. the correspondent said that the DEVs wanted to take out all backdoors to higher-then-normal-item-counts, so my guess is that that's a backdoor too !

It's one sure way to discourage by people who abuse vendors as storage devices.

Hummmmmm, I wonder why people use vendors for storage? It sure is not convenient. Maybe it's because more storage is NEEDED by some players who really get into crafting and selling!

Yes, certain crafters need alot of storage.
Butas a master merchant I can have 4.000 items andI certainly don't need that much. Perhaps I can start renting out space :-)

Yes, I guess I gotta just count to 10, take a deep breath, and wait to see what the final numbers are when publish 10 really arrives but I'm still kinda nervous 'cause I got a WHOLE lot of stuff

You mention storage devices lol. Perhaps if these were ingame this would be no big deal lol. Since only way to get more storage "legitemately" is to place houses, well we're kinda stuck using the backdoors. There are always factories of course, but in more than 1 instance i know of they have gone totally "poof" and CSR's do not help very much lol

Vendor items do that too, man.
I understand the complaints that people don't have enough storage but exploiting vendors is not the solution. And yes, like it or not, using a vendor for storage fits the definition. There is a stockroom on vendors but that's not where people are keeping items. Placing an item on a vendor with a price is offering it for sale, and that's clearly not what these people are doing.

Hmmm, I wouldn't say abuse is the right word, for crafting, especially armorsmiths and weaponsmiths, the resources needed are varying and in order to really make products, you need a lot of em. So that's a lot of resource containers to store, and with vendors and other items in houses, the item limits are reached really fast. So, a lot of people set aside a vendor for "storage". It's technically an abuse, but for lack of a better storage device, it works.
