1.) Concern: Receiving the message "You cannot see this object" when trying to access vendor control tab, possibly related to bug where vendors turn to face people when Ad Barking goes off, even if they are in another room (leaving the vendor facing the wall).

2.) Improvement: Portable vendor droids that bark advertisements and carry a small supply of items that can be purchased (a bonus to Merchants and Droid Engineers in one shot!).

Concern: Bad item identity. As in what catagory they go under. It would be helpful if they were better labeled, and/or if existing labels were used better.

Improvement: I don't know if having a vendor without so much as artisan is a bug or not. If it is, then before you fix it, I pray that you add a option to sell/rent vendors. No one really needs that many vendors, so it would be very nice if I could talk to my merchant friends and get one. Some base rules/so it would be profitable is to, when you are making it, select a option that this will be a "off site" vendor as in someone elses. Up the rate to 20c instead of 15 and have the 5 go to the merchant. To prevent griefing, make it so only the renter can take stuff off or manage the merchant. That way there won't be "so and so rented me a vendor but stole all my goods" posts. I'd love it if a master merchant could sell/rent me a vendor like this. Frankly I don't have the skill points to be a artisan, but I'd like to have a vendor. And merchants would benefit from this too.

Concern: No vendor permissions

Improvement: More lots for merchants

I would also like to see the sales's expiration date shown, too, so I'm not surprised when the vendor dumps stuff into the stockroom. Now, I know you're planning on changing the time from 7 days to 30 days, but it would still be helpful to know, so that I could relist the item before it was dumped. The bazaar has this column, so it shouldn't be too difficult to implement, hopefully.

You know, TH...Marqie's been collecting these for weeks This info has always been available to any dev who would like to help make merchant the vibrant class we know it can be.

HA HA! It busted me on the smiley's in the quoted post for them being profanity!! LOL

concern: i cant retrieve the clothing or uniforms once i place them on vendor.

solution:make it possible to retrieve items when customizing

concern :make protocol droids ad bark

solution: allow the same ad barking system for protocol droids

improvement: allow more froms of marketing i.e. shop banners, billboards, vendor stands in cities,

improvement: allow private party sales. The ability to put said item on vendor for a specific person so only they can retrieve or see item

Concern: Vendor UI is painstakingly difficult to stock and restock items.

Improvement: Allow for batch sells of like items with same price. Allow for batch moves of similar items, maybe a checkbox on the left to select everything at once, then select action ie: move, sell, withdraw.

sorry had another

Improvement: I WANT MUSIC!!!, ever go into the Guild Hall to train merchant skills? ever notice the cool music playing in the background? why cant we have this in our shops? Its not that big of a deal, but it adds an atmosphere to a shop.
