Thank you all,

Please post the following: 1 Concern / Issue and 1 Improvment.

Mine are as followed...

Improvment: 30 day timer on vendor items

Basically same as your. I would like see a collumn for time remaining on our supposed auctions.

Concern: Reset of the Planetary Advertising and alike every day.

Improvement: Ability to grant administrative rights on your own vendor to someone else.

Concern: No reason to be merchant if Business III gets a vendor, and people can keep vendors after dropping merchant skills.

Improvement: MUCH longer timer for vendor sale resets (Marqie's 30 days would be good)

Concern: Ability for people to retain merchant skills even when surrendering them (eg vendors)

Improvement: Ability to send merchandise to any of the vendors from any location, even if it cost time / credits before it got there.

Concern: Having to reset planetary advertising everyday.

Improvement: Innovation buff in the Hiring line that would let a merchant boost another artisan's chance of experimentation success and provide an experience bonus.

(As for the 7 day limit, a button to automatically put everything in the stockroom up for sale at theamount it was last priced at would be a good substitute for extending the time IMO)

Concern: Daily restetting Ad-Barking needsto be fixed

Improvement: Add vednor permisions so people can use each other's vendors

Concern: Daily restetting of Ad-Barking needsto be fixed

Improvement: Add vednor permisions so people can use each other's vendors

Major Concern: People who give up the Mechant/Business skills yet are still able to own/manage/operate a vendor. To me, this is like a Tailor being able to make Master Tailor type items after dropping Tailoring skills. It just should not be this way.

Improvement: Definately administrative rights to vendors. I would like nothing more than to be able to go away for a few days and have a friend keep and eye on the shop without worrying about stuff, or destocking my vendors before I go.

Good to see you active again Marqie! Any news on your loss?

Concern: No Vacations from the busywork! Even one day off wipes your planetary ad, three days costs you items from stockroom, 7 dayscompletely disables your vendors, and 10 willdestroy allyour on-sale inventory without compensation.

Improvement: Need some skills that really help you sell, little exists! Some kind of advertising that doesn't depend on a potential customer seeking it out (like barking droids in town, or signs placeable in well traveled areas). Something that allows more than the single line on signs or item names so you can explain to a newbie customer why he might want your item.

Concern: vendor's dissappearing & taking the store with them.

Improvement: Distinct economic advantage to buying/selling as a high level merchant. Current "savings" & effeciencies would work, but they are geared to an economy 1/3-1/5 of current p/unit rates. Give crafters a real economic reason to take the skills or seek out relationships with higher level merchants.

It would be a nice gesture department: Put a stop to the obsessive-compulsive, triple-checking over-paying behavior created by not knowing what "fix" is going to hit NPCs Maintenance Rate when.Go ahead and get it over with guys. You certainly weren't shy about telling us it was inevitably comming,so whybe shy now?

my #1 concern is actually a tie between teh 7 day limit and the ad barking and map reset. they are both equally EXTREMELY annoying

1 improvement i'd like to see is maybe having music in our shops that plays in the background i think it'd be very cool and immersive.

Improvement: Put droid deeds in a seperate column (this doesn't work from what I've seen).
