Help!
I've made like a hundred vendors and every single one of them has been old and grossly overweight. It's making me batty. I'm not running a Wal-Mart here. I'd be happy with a slightly heavy middle-aged vendor. But every *&$#!! one of them is an obese octogenarian.
Does anyone have any idea how to make it randomize more sensibly? Am I just unlucky or am I doing something wrong? Do I need to get a troll doll and rub it for luck? Do I need to make an offering to the vendor creation gods?
Any suggestions, reasonable or superstitious, would be welcome.

not a single thing to do but
create name look delete..
the oldest merchant routine ever.
Haveing a macro with /createvendor (so you can just press and go where you would want to drop vendor and not stand at structure terminal)
Setting windows up to sit with what line you will select in exact same spot (so your mouse never moves you just click)
Useing enter after the mouse click to progress screens
Copy/pasting you vendor name
and of course examining vendor from inventory instead of dropping it on floor for veiw
may all help save time
but til IDs can make house visits for our ever so colorful and vast array of looks vendors,
Create name look delete...
Create name look delete..
create name...yup....look delete...

Yes, DEFINITELY copy/paste your vendor title every time. It's very likely that when you finally get a vendor that is decent-looking, you will realize that you have misspelled the name in the monotony of the destroy-repeat cycle.

I also hate the fact that since they did the revamp for image designers, you also have to cycle through every color of the rainbow on your vendor's hair and eyebrows

I also used to be able to keep a vendor in my inventory while creating the next one. (I.e. I create vendor A. Vendor A is okay, but I think I can do better. I save vendor A in my inventory and create vendor B. Because I have 9 free vendor "slots" I can do that.) Now it says "you are already creating a vendor" until I put down and initialize (or destroy) the vendor in my inventory.

I always have problems with the hair on my vendors...Seems like 90% of the vendors I create come out with green corn rows.
Would definitely be cool if we could hire Image Designers to change the look of our vendors.

or at least let master merchants choose from "average looking" as an option

wait, extreme newb question here........ its not CTRL+C/CTRL+V, what is it?
You have to set it yourself in you keymap
Options tab, contols, keymap button, find command, rebind, APPLY, accept..if you don';t apply it will ignore what you just set

Making vendors how you like it is as random as a 6000-sided dice
