lol....kinda makes the "next page" button useless...rename it to "last 10 items".
Those numbers need to be tweaked...a bunch.
OMG! LOL! Thank you! You found the silver lining! I will never, ever have to /tell or mail a customer again to please use the Next Items button!!! And I can remove the backpack "sign" that says ***USE NEXT ITEMS BUTTON!*** Wow. I'm so happy. /tears of joy
LMAO!

Haven't you heard?
You'll need to quit your "other" job to spend more time keeping your "game" store stocked.

Is this what content is? Take something that is already a pain, and make it even more painful and time consuming?

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE DUMBEST NERF I HAVE EVER SEEN!! I keep 1000+ items on 1 vendor alone. To me a well stocked vendor is a must as a merchant. If this goes live, cancel both my accounts.

This is totally unacceptable. My furniture vendor frequently has someone come and buy 5-10 or many items. With a 110 item limit I will need 5 storehouses just to store what is currently on my vendor. And that's just ONE vendor. I have 12 vendors total, spread across 3 planets.
What feeble minded lame-brain thought this up?

I run a very large Mall on Starsider. I just did a count of the items on my vendors. Just over 4,000. I have a very large customer base and do 4-10 special orders daily. The challenge is the size! The challenge is getting your customer what they need so they come back and buy more. The challenge is making a profit! The challenge is keeping customer and learning new schemetics. The challenge is negotiating with Rangers for the meat, hideand bone they hunt. The challenge is to NOT run missions just to afford a shuttle ride to a planet that no longer has any spawns. I have a large turn over and restock daily as it is. I run a couple hundred harvesters, Running a business is my 'game.' Don't mess with it! You made this crafting system and we made businesses out of it. So fix it on your end, not ours.
Btw, looking for a tailor that can handle large volumn to join the Mall. Wouldn't mind an architect that specializes in only harveaters/factories too. Please contact Whizbang ingame or email her.

sorry to say it but i will quit crafting, sell all my resources if they limit items on vendor. its just not worth the time to keep so much stuff and have to limit what you can craft because of vendor space. turn everything into credits and not worry about it anymore.
if soe is doing this to pervent vendors as storage, they should know who is doing it. just do a search for any item listed as 99999999 credits. alot of use pay for extra accounts for storage and don't do lot trades or use vendors as storage.
database storage problem my ass. add a god damn digtal to your alpha number serial number and buy more **edit**ing storage

That says it all right there. To be a good crafter/merchant you need to always have a good selection in stock. With the vendor caps I will not be able to have a good selection in stock anymore.
Good luck finding anything.

Yes... more F'ing crap from @#$@#$.
What the future holds : with a great reduction in the number of crafters producing, those few crafters who still try to struggle through this ordeal the devs are turning merchant into will have to jack prices *way* up to make it worthwhile spending all the time to keep vendors in stock. Pile'o'crap.

Um... I have one toon as a doctor/cm, and one as a tailor, and there is NO way at a 660 max cap that I could even fully stock my TAILOR vendors, let alone sell any meds. This is complete crap. *sigh* So we get punished because people use vendors to gety around the fact that there isn't enough space in houses or lots to store stuff. Makes it lots of fun to be a crafter =(
