These aren't going on vendors for the most part. They are being auctioned on the trade forums.

Took me about 2 months to get my +20 in tapes... I bought only a few of them on the forums... most I bought privately, traded for, or were given to me by friends I have made. It took alot of time and effort but the investment on my part was worth the reward.

I'm sorry, what's preventing you from buying them again? Are the auctioneers saying, "Joined cannot bid"?

First off the idea that this will impact many vendors is why I said we should at least attempt to do someting.
Second to the twits that will just fill the voids to be greedy...this is all you will ever be and I'll take your thanks for that.
Third phuctk you...any other questions can be directed to that brick wall over there.
You selfish little twit, do not think for one bit that I feel that one person or even a group of people will grind the place to a stand still. Simply put that if the major vendors or each server educate the client about the problems that will be faced that this nerf will be seen to all classes and not just the crafter. I don't sell **edit** to make money to be rich in this game...i do it for gas money to travel to different planets with my main character who is too busy having fun to go 890m to kill a biznatch lair for chump change. i'm fricken mayor too so the sale stock helps the city...I can't be on every night to stock the damn thing so the more on there the better to make sure all the little newbies and adv players have a choice and not an empty fricken vendor.
private orders will increase and vendor ones will decrease...i will make it past this...**edit** i survived the phuctking deadly food bug i can make it past this.
That is the point of why i started this thread to get a more realistic approach to letting all know ingame and out what the majority of the crafting communtiy....that makes the quality items...will do. The cut rate slackasses will still be around to make the crud...we need that crud so that they know what it is when they see it.
End of the anger part.
please feel free to attempt to respond to that...I will be waiting to see who can even come close to being as angery drunk as I am now.

I see what your saying there, debbie1260. Multiple accts equals more money for SOE, they do this and they stand to lose more in multiples than they would in new players. New players who run around asking for free stuff. They may get some of my throw aways at first, but that won't last long. The new players can and will adapt to our culture and how we sell things. I know I did. When I started two months ago I wanted to be a master tailor. I was so tired of going into one tailors shop after another to be told by an empty vendor that there were no more items to sell. We crafters/merchants are Borg-Like. We can and will assimilate all new players into the game and they will always have something to do.
My point to this ramble is that I was new to my busy server on Starsider/ I broke into my market by operating my shop in a way I didn't see many around doing it. Stocking all the time, talking to people and seeing what frustrates them in the shops and trying not to do that. This week I hade my first million credits. Later on that week I made my second million. Friday, today, I made my third million and still growing. The Devs are worried abou newbies in our ecosystem. I don't mind them though. I stayed, I stuck with it, found a new location and lived through it. Now I have a thriving tailoring busines..We can get over this, but the bitterness will stay for a long, long time.

Keep it up and I promise I'll report you. Keep it constructive and you're welcome to play with the rest of us "grown ups".
LOL, gee thanks "Dad". You don't like my opinion huh? Is it because I called you whiners, or just because I'm not one of the VOCAL MINORITY?
Please, if you feel I've broken the SOE ToS somehow, by all means report me. I had no intention of it, and I firmly believe my posts are constructive and written with a purpose (despite your inability to see it). I'm also fairly certain you've made posts similar to mine. Actually let me take a quick look-see..
Ahh yes, here's one (found in 30 secs no less, one has to wonder what your entire post history looks like):

It's published. It has happened every day of retail except one. If you need an ingame warning to remind you of this, you're probably too intellectually challenged to read it so it won't do you any good anyway.
Geez people. Buy a clue. Move on.
I'm sure you can find a *real* issue with the game to hammer SOE about. Whining about this only makes you look foolish.
Wow, pretty harsh buddy.. pretty harsh. Maybe you need to take yer own advice, eh?

I see this thread has degraded 
but I wanted to chime in on the original issue. As I am exlusively a crafter/merchant, my form of "striking" will simply be to cancel my account. SOE doesn't seem to realize that not all merchants sell stuff as a side activity to their combat professions. If I want to go hack and slash stuff, I'll just go back to EverQuest.

I'm hoping that this wasn't directed at my post(s).
Angry? Yes, I WAS angry, now I'm just tired. Tired of SOE's bull$hi+ quick fixes that should have been in place a long time ago (and done right). Doing this in a mature economy is suicide for ANY business big and small, along withanyone in the game that depends on them (which is EVERYONE). I've said my piece on other threads in the Merchant forum, if it falls on deaf ears, so be it. I just have a glimmer of hope that my cancelled accounts and my input here, along with the actions of others will make SOE think twice about a "Fix" like this, and perhaps come up with something that not only suites the Dev's interests, but also the majority of the players. As we all know, you can't please everyone, no matter what you do.
Live long and.....oh wait....May the Force be with you....Sometimes.
