Have the number of vendors scattered throughout the Master Crafting profession

Say 4 each profession and at200 items per.

200 makes sense since thats 2pages of items per vendor.


This way if you master more than one Crafting profession you get more vendors to sell you goods on.


Alsoevery novice of an elite profession can get a vendor and any one where you can craftitems get more?


This way a TKM/Ranger/Novice BH would be able to have 3 vendors Hides/Resources/Loot perhaps?


Each would be connected to the novice skill in someway.


But if you gave up that prof your vendor would become disable and you could only remove items from it.


Artisian Tree wouldn't change so novice crafters could still get a vendor before you get into the elite profession.


If no one wants to be a "Merchant", Set up business partners, find deals and then mark it up then why make us waste skill points on it?

This idea seems popular with everyone but the merchants.

Whoops! I just dropped my merchant skills!

Make it so we can trade our pets in for callable ones, or at least deeds so we can put them in our houses and /cry! (lol)

Boy, who's the one-star cowboy? I think these shouldn't count towards your average if it's only one or two people clicking on the one star button.

I don't usually do the one-star thing but...


As a Master Merchant in the Merchant forum...a perfectly valid "profession"...I'm going to help out the average of all the folks who want to do away with my profession or continue to poach its vendors as before.


It's not that hard to go up in merchant.

The flaw in your argument is that you assume this - that no one wants to be a "Merchant". Some of us do, and we don't consider the skill point expense a "waste" at all.

    Request denied.



    It won't ever happen, no matter how many "petitions" you start or sign. Just let it go already.

    There are people out there who really enjoy being a Merchant, I don't think getting rid of it is the way to go, just working through the changes so that the profession has more meaning and depth.
