I don't come here because I don't really consider merchant a class per say and the only time I come here is when something is wrong...with that said something is wrong. Here is the code that just hit TC

Bazaar/Vendor

Vendors that are empty will no longer be visible on the planetary map (Ctrl-V).

Vendors that have been left empty or abandoned for two weeks will be deleted (owner will receive a warning message prior to deletion).

Email notifications have been added to advise vendor owners of the status of their vendor.

Fixed a bug that caused items to sometimes vanish from vendors.

Vendor item limits will now be based on player skill. (Players over either limit will not be able to add new items for sale on vendors).

Artisan Business 3 Get (1) Vendor, that will hold (50) items, for a total of (50) items for all vendors
Merchant Novice Get (2) Vendors, that will hold (60) items, for a total of (120) items for all vendors
Merchant Management 1 Get (3) Vendors, that will hold (70) items, for a total of (210) items for all vendors
Merchant Management 2 Get (4) Vendors, that will hold (80) items, for a total of (320) items for all vendors
Merchant Management 3 Get (5) Vendors, that will hold (90) items, for a total of (450) items for all vendors
Merchant Management 4 Get (6) Vendors, that will hold (100) items, for a total of (600) items for all vendors
Merchant Master Get (6) Vendors, that will hold (110) items, for a total of (660) items for all vendors

I knew there was a merchant revamp coming but this is not acceptable!!!

110 items per vendor at master for a total of 660 items...I know people that have that much per vendor.

All that 110 items per vendor does is make crafting and being in business HARDER...It is a step back it is like adding more steps into crafting.

Please for the love of Darth...do not let these changes go live! why 110 and not 100...so that the next button has some use?

add a zero to each of those then you are talking acceptable.

And why the HARSH limit on vendors? DB issues? that is your problem and not ours. Vendors do not and should not create lag as that information is sent to us on an as requested basis unlike houses where it is loaded when you go in.

Remember you DEV's told us vendors are an acceptable way to store stuff too because it was easier on the lag then storing stuff on the floor of your house.

As a merchant I beg of you. bump this reply to it make your own posts saying you don't like these changes. Empty vendors are bad and this effects everybody because this will create more empty vendors this change will drive people that craft to stop crafting which will = less items in the game and for SOE it will = less accounts because people will cancel the alt merchant crafter toons...

I think your in the balkpark there. It would at least make a stock selection for Merchant/crafter viable and

there byretain most crafters.

I'm sure a lot of other crafters will too. Then, when the combat folks can't find anything they need, they too will start canceling.

This seems kind of a ham-handed way to deal with the "drop merchant, keep thevendors bug". If they multiplied the numbers by 2.5 or 3, I could start to think that's a little more reasonable. Heck, all I sell is resources and I've got around 250 items on several of my vendors.

I think there's got to be a better way to handle this, unless they're looking to nerf the economy too.

I can understand a item limit for the level of merchant you are. I can NOT understand a limit this low though.

What reason do you have to be a master merchant? None right now. Not to keep master merchant at least. Most folks I know got enough merchant to get the vendors they needed, then dropped it. I kept all my merchant because I like to use my merchant barking droid.

I also have a feeling that the database admins are to blame. They probably thought "Hey, lets kill two birds with one stone here. Give people a reason to master merchant AND shrink the database size!". I bet someone got a raise for that idea.

make it so non merchant vendors turn off...plain and simple...

Dev's have some crazy idea that the current limit on vendors creates monopolies in the economy...that theory is CRAP. fact is these changes will KILL the economy.

less crafters...yeah people WILL cancel their crafting alts...

less crafters = less items which = higher costs

less crafters = more down time looking for the item you need

less items on vendors = making stuff harder to keep in stock

less items on vendors = more empty vendors

there is talk of streamlining the crafting classes...well this is a major step in the wrong direction.

This has my vote. If everybody posts and posts and posts, someone out there has to listen.

if everyone post randomly just hoping the devs will listen, you will wear out your correspondent. do you want someone to talk to the devs for you, or not?
