I think this is totally uncalled for and completely unnecessary. Come on Dev's there are more important things for you guys to be doing!

I resent the implication that those of us who have concerns are unwilling to work hard. Most of us already do. Keeping stock up well over 100 per vendor is very difficult and time-consuming.
In my experience, the average person prefers to buy off the rack. He or she really does not know all of the options and in tailoring, custom work is quite obnoxious for the average customer. Why? Because they cannot see what we see. They don't know what shades are really available and invariably they want shades that do not exist or their "concept" of 'dark blue' and mine are completely different.
Therefore, I do not do special orders, except when it's an easy one ("a white robe of honor" or somesuch, delivered via e-mail rather than over tells so there's a decreased risk of miscommunication).
A good shopkeeper, particularly a good tailor, up until this time has kept items available in a wide range of colors and styles to give clients options. Now, that option will not be available as the bulk of our purchases (and I've spoken to other tailors) are items in black, white, red, or black-and-red.
I spend at least an hour a day stocking my vendors as is, sometimes more. It is already like a part-time job since my alt also spends at least an hour a day working on restocking. On weekends, it's more like four hours a day.
What time remains, I get to go off hunting with my non-tailor alt to restock hides for me and meat for her BE stuff.
So, please do not talk about us not "working hard." Many of us already work hard. But by keeping my vendors stocked, I have been able to get time "off" to go explore a theme park or talk to my friends once in a while.
With this nerf, it will mean I have to spend more time keeping vendors stocked since there is less on each vendor.
That isn't a fun game for me, nor is it very fun for those of us who are protesting with coherent, rational reasons why this is not an acceptable change.
Instead of flaming us for "not working," please consider what may happen if we decide, enmasse to strike.
Or ban people who do not understand how much work it is we do when we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves in an online GAME.
I respect your right to your opinion. Please respect our right to complain and offer valid reasons why this is not an acceptable "fix" to a system that is largely not broken.

People everywhere talkin about their 3-10 accounts that they pay for each month.
"I have 8 accounts and 3 of those are combat, and others are crafting....this is terrible, I am gonna have to convert acouple my accounts to merchants!"
Thats awesome ya'll have the money to pay for all these characters. I have 1 character/account. I'm in grad school, digesting cheeseburger hamburger helper/ Chicken & Broc. Pasta Roni, while trying my hardest TAing for acouple professors to make whatever money I can.
I don't get more than 1 account. Its just not possible, and thats ok. Star Wars Galaxies is pushing me further away cause I will not be able to compete with the requirements being forced upon the merchant/vendor class. I do a nicely stocked Tailor vendor (with Master Merchant), and with one account I'm ok with that. Its what I enjoy in this 'world'.
You DEVs need to consider less evasive ways of fixing what you feel needs fixing. To come into a class/profession a year after the fact is a little bull**edit**. You screw with things that should have been fixed a year ago, but nontheless we are at this point and you decide to dig right into our heart instead of choosing a less evasive procedure for a fix.
Keep in mind. Some people can only afford 1 and 2 accounts.
I can only afford 1.

I do not use merchants for selling things nor do I use them for storing, but this change is stupid.

HOORAAAA!!!
Love the responces keep em flowing!!!
We pay there bills, there payroll, EVERYTHING!
Listen to your customers, dont tell us what to do 
Look, we can deal with some sort of a cutback of limits, like 500-1000 items per vendor or so, but this 60 per vendor gives no hope to the salesmen in this game, how can we keep stock and do ANYTHING else in this game if we are large producers.

I am in total agreement this nerf will ruin my livily hood and point of bein a tailor armorsmith.... Devs stop trying to ruin our profession
I'm a novice tailor armorsmith and have over 1000 items in 4 vendors. this lil revamp is a total bonehead move by devs, so if you wanna ruin my career path and the reason I play this game I will gladly be payin another to play another NON-SONY game. Hey devs try makin the game fun and stop tryin to ruin a great game. what are you guys thinking????????? or maybe your not. well all I have to say is you screw my game and I'll be payin to play another non soe game. Come up with good ideas or come up with none at all.
How the hell did this ever even become a serious idea, is managment smoking crack or somethin. well if soe wants money from their customers and wants to keep em stop trying to ruin this game.
devs take a look through the game the real one once and see what us artisans gotta do to make it, then you would see how screwed up this would be for all of us as well as the player made economy and most importantly You Are Goin To Ruin All The Fun. STOP This BS Before It's Too Late!!!!!!!!

I've posted my feeling in several other places so I won't repeat them here. But I am praying that the devs listen and reset the cap. I don't like it but if it will help them then I can accept a cap just not one so low. I so hope they hear us and change their minds.
