Good luck today, a fair transdoshan after only 16 or so attempts! One of which, by the way I actually named "chunk of ugly" in my frustration over the name filter. THIS name was actually accepted. ............ HHHHMMMM Is there some way to makethis filterless sensitive, or more tolerent, or even just easier to understand when it rejects the 31st attempt at a name for a mysterious chunk of whatever comes up next?!? AAAAARRRRGGGGGGG!!! what is more frustrating, finding a name that will be accepted, or a vendor that doesn't immediatly cause you to wet you pants from laughing so hard at it's hideous appearance?

Hehe, I usually need 5-10 tries for getting a vendor I like and around 2-3 attempts for the name. It would be great if IDs could change our vendors, I might even pick this profession up just for doing this :-)

Oh! Only 16?! ... *starts to twitch* ... If only everyone were so lucky.
But to answer your questions; "what is more frustrating, finding a name that will be accepted, or a vendor that doesn't immediatly cause you to wet you pants from laughing"
-Hmmm, my vote would land on finding a decent looking vendor, because I seldom have problems with the name filter.
(Maybe I just don't use that much profanity? 
)

DEVS: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
My eyes hurt, I am prejudiced against ugly.
Let merchants or IDs design vendors.
What we have now is a cruel abuse of aesthetics.

I agree COMPLETLY with the initial post.
Creating vendors is insanely frustrating. Allowing them to be ID'ed would be FANTASTIC.
Giving ID's the ability to modify vendors would give their profession a HUGE boost!! I know i'd be looking to hire one 
.
.Alternatively or in addition the hiring tree could have Vendor customization options in it as it progresses. Possibly MasterMerchants / hiring4's could also design/ sell custom vendors or modify exhisting vendors.
Perhaps move "uniform" options to hiring1, put color changesin hiring 2, advanced facial features/ markings in hiring3, and body sculpting in hiring4 (or something allong that line with similar progression as ID).
Since character generation, and image design already has these features for player characters, it shouldn't take all that much programming effort to adjust the engine for use on vendors.
Color kits for droids should also work on droid vendors (even if they run out after xxx days).

I think the idea of hiring an image designer to customize our vendors would be great.
