1.How many boxes of "merchant" do you currently have?

-Was a PvE template, now 0/0/4/4

2. How many advanced crafting classes (thiscan include anynon-novice class where you craft goods and sell them)do you and/or your "alts" play in addition to merchant?

- Could CM be counted as one? Though I had to give it up.

3. As a merchant, roughly what percentage of your sales come from you selling things that others (besides yourself and your "alts") have crafted?

- 1%, if even, since in the 3 months my shops been open I've sold one item for one person.

4. Assuming that you (at whatever level of merchant you are) had a vendor cap limit of 300 items per vendor, and the "tools" for running a vendor were beefed up significantly, how likely would you be to actively pursue the selling of other crafter's goods? (unlikely / neutral / very likely)?

- Wouldn't. I've had to get merchant for myself again to keep my PvE end of my shop open. So my template is Rilfes/Merchant atm. Reason I would not sell things is not because of vender space issues, it's because I wouldn't want to be at risk of having something bug and it poof or to put myself in a position to be the center of a "Barris Scammed Me!!!11!" thread.

I keep reading all this garbage about the "merchant" class and how they will be affected by this and that, and this is my attempt to see if such people really exist, and if so, in what numbers. So very simple poll. Please, no discussion (or else your vote won't count... I mean it) just simply answer "yes" or "no" or whatever the questions asks for, and if you can't answer it or it doesn't apply to you, please just use n/a.

And yes, I realize that I'm not accounting for looters and miners in this poll. This is really meant to determine the relationship between "elite" crafters and merchants.

Thank you for your participation.

1.How many boxes of "merchant" do you currently have?

*** Master

2. How many advanced crafting classes (thiscan include anynon-novice class where you craft goods and sell them)do you and/or your "alts" play in addition to merchant?

My main is master arch / master art / master merch. Have alt that is a master med / master doc / master CM, and another character that is 4444 on chef and weaponsmith.

3. As a merchant, roughly what percentage of your sales come from you selling things that others (besides yourself and your "alts") have crafted?

less then 10%, if I see a 'good buy' I may grab SOME and sell them, I dont 'buy out' others vendors.

Dont think I would actively pursue running vendors for others if that's what you meant. UNLESS the tools were made like another post I made as far as basically 'renting' a vendor where I didnt have to do anything but place it and the rental / sales fees were somehow automatically deducted from the renters account and placed in mine.

Master Merchant

Master Armorsmith for me Master Smuggler for my alt and I do sell alot of Master Artisan things also.

3. As a merchant, roughly what percentage of your sales come from you selling things that others (besides yourself and your "alts") have crafted?hmm maybe 10% are CRAFTED I do sell alot of harvested and looted items but I also sell my own crafted items on another master merchants vendors I would guess she is getting 50 % of her sales from my crafted items

4. Assuming that you (at whatever level of merchant you are) had a vendor cap limit of 300 items per vendor, and the "tools" for running a vendor were beefed up significantly, how likely would you be to actively pursue the selling of other crafter's goods? (unlikely / neutral / very likely)?

Very Likely If this happens I will be selling buff packs and foods for crafters in my guild

Thanks again

1. Master Merchant

2. 2 (Doctor and Combat Medic)

3. 10% of current sales come from product that I didn't produce

4.Very likely. This is very dependant on the ease of use of the tools as my least favorite merchant activity is stocking.
