Removing empty vendors is a good idea. But please raise the vendor item cap.
I am a Master Weaponsmith and Master Merchant. I like to give my customers a wide variety of weapons to choose from, so I have a total of thousands of items on my vendors. It would ruin my business to be limited to only 110 items per vendor!

I wasn't trying to take credit for what Abraham Lincoln said. I put Airwren's name there because that's the quote he always uses when people in game are acting like fools. Sorry if that looks confusing.

I hate empty vendors and to register a vendor you should have atleast 20 items on it, but this item cap is the most retarded idea ever.
Not only will make it even harder to find a decent vendor but it will force more and more players to chose either combat or crafting.
I'm a master armorsmith with artisian 0/0/3/0 wich leaves me with enough combat skills to do fairly in pve (i dont stand a change in pvp)but if this change happends i will be forced to master merchant and drop my combat skills. If this happends i will be bored fast and you can say goodby to another account.
Oh and if this is another way to force people to buy more accounts in orderto play properlyyou can go **** yourselfs.

Well, there goes my business...people came to my vendor because of my huge clothing selection....660 items total, spread across 6 different vendors? I'm screwed. There's no way I can put an adequate clothing selection on that.

No mater what merchant are saying you don't really need more then 110 items on a vendor. the only real reasons they want 110 items is to use vendors as storage.
I've been a merchant for more then a year. I've sold anything from Tailor, Armorsmiths and Droid Engineer's goods. I've always made a good living and I've never needed so many items on one vendor.
Vendors should be used as storage

I am not a dabbler. I have a master merchant. I just calculated that by only selling only full crates and running no batchs over 500, I can keep my chef business going and still offer a full selection. However many, if not most, players can't afford full cases--it is the most casual of players who will be hurtwhen I discontinue selling spilts offive and ten as well as singles.
I don't know how I will be able to offer a full selection of meds on the remaining three vendors.
Did I mention that the proposed Vendor Item Nerf is the WORST NERF EVER!

I keep 500 items on my med vendor alone. I sell 150 different items a day easily. My other 4 vendors I still keep 100 or so things on. I completely agree about making abandoned vendors vanish and taking away privs to those who do not have the ability. Heck, putting a cap on the vendors can be accomodated, if a reasonable number is given. Please allow us 500 items per vendor. That really is a reasonable number. If I can have 500 item max on my med vendor I can restock every other day and still have some of everything available. If you restrict me to 100 (I only have Management 4) per vendor, I wont be able to serve my patrons as well. I don't have time to do special orders. I already do very little other than craft. I don't foresee renewing my accounts (my boyfriend and I have 4 between us) if I can't sell my meds. It is the part of the game that keeps me coming back. People just don't want to buy crates of buffs at a time. They want individual packs and broken crates. That fills up a page or two fast. 100 is far too low.

@kebron
if 110 items is enough add up all the weapons in the game times that by 10 and thats what a ws will probly try to stock stocking more of the more popular weapons same with armour smith how many types of compp armour are there not counting the wookie armour and other types thats alot of items to stock. as the chef said people are going to start selling bulk only meaning if your low on funds and want that comp bracer your screwed cause the vendor only sell's full sets or you want some brandy but cant aford a crate of 25 but wait no vendors stock part crates due to space restriction or you need 10k of a certain resorce but end up having to buy 100k of it cause no1 stocks hte small quantitys all this is going to do is makes crafters and fighters life's alot harder and more expensive.im curantly a master ws with some merchant im gona drop selling altogether and just keep master ws so atleast when i need a weapon i can make it as i have freinds who mine resorces.
this nerf will make it so you need a freind in every prof or your going to strugle to get your stuff.

What the hell are they (devs) thinking? Are they trying to get people to quit this game?
It seems with every patch they come up with some lame way to totally kill a profession.
Dev ---> game ideas
