Thread: Master Merchant-How long did it take you?
Well i hate to flame anyone but how i saw the entrance fee thing still working is when i visited Wildfires house searching for weps,
thehouse next to the vendor for weps.. said something like smugglers hideout for something to that extent.. it had a long number not the old 9999999 time limit thing but it kicked me from the house about 2 sec after i was in.. this was pre the other nights patch. so not sure if its still up..

I never "ground" merchant. I do not know how long it took, as it was not really of any interest to me how "fast" I could get it. I got the exp naturally, as it was intended, doing business as usual, long before the Holo idiocy existed.
This is how I play all my professions. Doing things at the intended pace has the added benefit of NEVER having to beg for AXP - I have always got all the AXP I needed from people who ask ME to train them, well in advance of needing it to "buy" master.
If something can be gained easily, it has no value. I'd be happier if this game had no macroing, no grinding, no easy bypassing of actually doing the work the way it was obviously intended. But its a lost cause.
The whole holo business has already ruined what little respect was for the work involved in mastering a profession, and people using illegal 3rd party macroing tools has reduced that work to nothing anyway.
I can't do anything about it. But I can loathe them.
And don't insult professions by posting about hologrinding on their boards please. AFAIK all of them have made holo FAQ's to avoid this.
well i just got a holo that said master merchant not right impressed there is hardly any way to grind this prof but im gonna try my hardest to find a decent way im not a crafter and have nothing to sell i do not want to be a crafter period
so ive built 5 houses ill put a vendor in each and get 6th into a mall in my guild town ill get some friends to run into my housesevery 15 mins and also check vendors hopefully i ca get this prof done in under 2 weeks and drop it im sure its a great profession to have alongside a crafter but its not for me however i want jedi like so many otehrs 
so let the grind begin
It took me 27 days with lots of spam advertising at cornet starport. I made a couple of million doing it too. The problem is now that I am not spamming my buisness has declined 75%. I still have the same wares at cheaper prices but since I am not AFK advertsining I get almost no buisness.
