It was never intended for players to be able tokeep and manage vendors after surrendering the Management skill boxes used to acquire them.

sigh...
So you got your post from a dev stating this isn't intended (irregardless of whatever rules-lawer(esque) spin you put on it), you've had posts from Garva saying it is a non-bannable exploit. Exactly what passes for proof in your book then?
Just to get this thread back on track, thanks to the original poster fortrying to get things squared away at least. Too many other people are just happytokeep using their vendors without the needed points.

What is your point mhal9000? You just proved again for p4samwise that they never said anything about the hiring tree nor about what your vendor can look like as long as you have the necessary management abilities (ie. vendor +1)

Eeek! I didn't know that I'd be causingthis much of a stir-up.I know this was a sore subject several months ago,but I thought things would have been decided by now. Guess not..............
Thanks for the offer to help in moving, but I'm on Corbantis.
Although I don't agree with everything that has been said here, I'm not going to bother debating since the devs have no idea what they're doing with this class yet. I will say that there's more important problems with the Merchant Class than empty vendors or keeping vendors without merchant skills. The damn thing is so broke that I don't even consider a profession..... You can't even RENAMEa vendor after it's placed, there's no administrator list, you can't "undress" your vendor, there's no commission function, etc etc etc. Image Designers get a tent in the city to do their makeovers...... why can't Merchants get a Hot Dog stand to sell their crap in the city?
I'm not trying to "get away" with an exploit.... I'm simply asking, how are the devs going to deal with the Hiring skills? If they say, we'll let you keep it... then I'm going to keep it. If they say it's going into black-out mode*, then I'll move my stuff to big greenie. I have an alt account that is Master Merchant, I just want my main toon to have a single vendor for the convenience of having things delivered to me. I'm 100% willing to do whatever is considered "the right thing to do."
*I thought vendors were going to go into blackout mode, where only the owner could access it to remove items.

I'm just trying to get some consistency out of your behavior. Earlier, when he said "I want to do the right thing," you had to choke down flames. I say LET IT OUT! Don't let people get away with doing the right thing! Because if you go far enough right, you're left, and that's wrong! And there is the path to HELL and eternal perdition! Good intentions all the way, baby! BOOM! EAT MY SMOKE, COPPER!!!!

Could you guys please stop arguing over this stuff?
Hiring isn't mentioned in the quote from TH because the question doesn't explicitly ask about it. I don't know if they intend to do anything about that but I'm far more concerned with the Management line than I am with Hiring at this point.

So, when is this going to get remedied? Next publish? CB? JTL? Anyone know when the vendors are going to get wiped?

Item cap is b.s. 
(((((
(((((There is not a problem with the way the game is running now EXCEPT THE RECENT AUCTIONS chat is killing many vendors. I guess the idea is to remove the selling of items through a vendor system and move it to a chat system like flipping DIABLOW2? Scrolling vendor garbage all the time........
I swear SOE is great a "fixing" working things to the broken side of damage. Sadly the only thing that really speaks to them is mass exodus of accounts so people continually tolerate the different changes/nerfs as they get rolled out. Really sad when people think they need to dictate their version of what is fun to those that are already having it.
I don't do much vendoring either.... but think this is all tripe.... especially the upcoming combat majornerf that will yet ONCE again completely change gameplay. Seems someone in the decision making department feels SWG is not enough like EQ. I thought it was a nice fresh game until this nostalgaic look to other games has become more pervasive.

Personally... I wouldn't worry about what kind of vendor you have as long as you just have the correct number. Anything past that is just really petty and a lot of hassle.. especially if you are already trying to be compliant.
i'd worry alot, since they are going to be screwing alot of people and the answers are usually not good if you happen to get burned
