I can live with those


Concern: Fix the reset of the Advertising Options (Adbark and Global Map ) every reboot.


Enhancement: Extend the 7 day timer to something more reasonable for normal shop operation. 30 days sounds good but at LEAST 14 days in the Sale tab and another 14 days in the Stockroom

I wish I could come up with something more witty. But they are the same as yours


Number one Planetary advertising and Ad-Barking Daily reset


Increase time for sales on vendors to 30 days.

Concern: Extending the seven day limit and/or being able to 'resell item' in a single click, with the same price and decription as before.


Improvement: Add the ability to have 'premium sales' on our private vendors. We'd pay a fee everytime we listed a premium sale, and it would appear on the global bazaar network. People would have to visit the shop to collect the item, but could buy it from thecity bazaar. It would not have the bazaar price limit. This would be a possible for a master merchant skill perhaps.

Adding in my votes to the pile:



#1 Concern: 7 day limit on sales (excruciating..describes it best! Good word!)


#1 Improvement: Change Ad Barking, Advertising to a 7-day reset vs. EVERY DARN DAY!


We don't ask for very much. We have even given up on asking fornew skills. We just don't want to suffer with broken skills and thoughtless hurdles.

Concern: Resetting planetary adds every day is not fun. It would be nice to do it once a week maybe so that you can possibly get a little higher in the list.


Improvement: I'd like to see a bark for spice. Filling out the custom bark everyday is not fun

Concern (the overwhelming #1 issue on my list by a landslide): The 7-day limit for items on your own vendor is absolutely excruciating to deal with if you're a serious tailor/merchant with a large inventory on your vendor. You're literally required to spend hours per week of in-game time making no forward progress of any sort, just mechanically relisting items on your vendor in an attempt to get back to where you were when you started.

Improvement: Just remove the friggin' 7-day limit all together, as I can't see any plausible game-design reason for having it (setting aside conspiracy theories about intentionally punishing merchants with well-stocked vendors in order to protect the employment of incompetent database consultants.)

Concern: Reset of the global advertising every day


Improvment: The Master Merchant skill and the entire hiring skill line should be more beneficial

Heya Ioo!



Major Concern: Resetting ad barking and planetary map listings every darn day. That sucks the big one.



Improvement: Permissions list on vendors to allow others to manage your vendors. If they post something for sale on your vendor, you can set up a preset percentage to goto them, adjustable only by the owner of the vendor. Plus, if they are on the list they can relist items that don't sell after the current 7day limit.

One more thing (enhancement not an issue):

Being able to have items for a specific customer. For example you make a customized weapon/armour/Droid etc and don't want any other to buy it from your vendor. Your only choice is to meet in game and do a trade.

A simple solution is to have a password. You have to enter a vild password to be able to buy the item (maybe also for looking at the details/price if you don't want to show it to other people).

Being able to give discount to players, factions or PAs is also something I would like to see, but I guess this is more work.
