Two words:

Vendor Roulette. I'm looking forward to placing another vendor and playing the whole 'create-destroy-create' game again.

Gosh golly, a idea within a statement! ...

I'd actually pay more to get a good looking/not hideousvendor. Not that I think that should be an option, but I would... I really would.

I'd pay double the upkeep... triple even! Heck, I'd pay ten times as much if I could choose the appearance myself

With the recent Image Designer revamp we merchants was hit by something I've named "The Chunk-Of-Ugly-Curse".

We thought we had it bad before with ourmummified, obese vendors with odd facial features.

But look what we have now; mummified, obese vendors with odd facial features+ a zillion different neon colors!

After cycling through 137 female, twi'lek vendors for my tailor shop I finally managed to get one that did look quite ok (except the fact that her lips are so large and orange that you could use her as a fog light).

- I do NOTwant an overweight,300 year old twi'lek with bright yellow skin, dark purple markings, neon green lipstick and blood red eye shadow! Nor do I wish to cycle through hundreds upon hundred of similiar horribly ugly vendors before I get one that look "ok-ish".

- I want my customers to stay in my shop and smile due to pleasant vendors and decor... not have them running away screaming, bleeding from their eyes.

Something really has to be done about this. So here's my suggestion for improvement and interdependancy:

#1 Allow merchants to modify the vendor upon creation with the 'base-palette'

#2Give Image Designers the possibility to "design" our vendors with the advanced palette.

#3 While we're at it, allow Droid Engineers to paint our droid vendors so we can get some diversity on those aswell.

I honestly don't think that the above 3 suggestions would be to hard to implement. Something with the /consent-feature perhaps?

So... is it even possible to get a dev to see this prayer?

And... what do the rest of you think?

OMG! Too funny Pooka. I guess I got lucky with the mongloid looking Wookie and the pastel theamed vapid Zabrak male. This is my first visit to these forums as I recently became a merchant to sell the goods my alt crafts. Your statements about the state of the profession echo my own feelings as I enter into it. It seems the whole point is the selling of goods. The xp gained is spent on skill boxes that give you perks to selling that allow you to become more proficient at it in a variety of ways. I am sadly disappointed to learn of the lack of control over these "chunk of ugly" vendors, and feel many excellent suggestions have been made that could lead to positive change.I particularly like the ideas of customazation kits made by a variety of crafters. It would add more depth to the game and save us from wasting hours of game time attempting to find a vendor your willing to endure looking at for any length of time.
