Unfortunately not yet. I am not extremely hopeful of a fix in the next couple of weeks. It will most likely be after that. I don't know how much after that.

I'm trying to move my Merchant skills to an alternate character. Maybe then I can pick up some combat and scout so I can actually gather my own hides. It's not that I'm getting impatient about this problem, but SoE is holding my skill points hostage on my main character. I now have two characters with Efficiency 4 and, as we all know, I can't transfer my tents between the two without rebuilding/restocking the vendors. I have other players' vendors in my tent so I view this as the very last option.
My question: Have any tent owners been brave enough to drop Efficiency 4? Did you still have a fully functional tent with vendors? Were you still able to transfer the tent to another character that had Efficiency 4? I know this wasn't an issue before the merchant changes in pub 10.
Again, I'm not trying to work the system to be a "zero skillpoint" Merchant. As soon as they fix the transfer problem I'll give the tent to my Merchant alt.
Thanks folks appreciate the feedback.

A deafening silence eh? I guess I'll have to give it a try and I'll let you know what happens.

Not to beat a dead horse, but apparently that is what it is going to take. I can't even begin to describe how inconvenient this bug is. I own a mall, with several vendors owned by several people. That mall NEEDS to be transfered to another player in my guild so we have to put up several new houses, pay maintenance on them, remove everythiung from all of the vendors, move it all into the house, transfer, re establish vendors and relist everything. It is going to take days.

OK I'm here to say my vendors and tent are all in tact after I dropped Merchant. Now if this ever gets fixed I'll transfer the tent over to my new Merchant alt.

This bug is becoming even more of a critical issue now with the release of JTL. The Veteran Reward Ship requires one lot to use, so there'sa lot of scurrying around of people trying to move lots in order to be able to pull the ship out.
Without the /transferstructure working in buildings that have vendors, it's causing me a LOT of problems. The person who owns the market I have vendors in not only wants to free up lots for buildings, now she needs an extra lot for her ship... and the only way to do it was for me to assume a few of her properties and pull up harvesters that were pulling some pretty good resources.
This issue has been here for well over a month now and has not been addressed or resolved by the developers. I understand that there was a major release that just came out, but there have been fixes to other issues (mainly Jedi) and this one keeps being ignored!
Devs... please... make a fix to this ASAP!

I am a new victim of this "bug". I wanted to delete my 3rd, little used character and create an Ithorian in his place. I have a shop and a mall with vendors in them on his lots. All I wanted to do was transfer them to another character briefly, then transfer them back to the new Ithorian. The mall has 16 vendors, all full of stuff, belonging to 6 different people. It would take weeks of planning to get them all dismantled. Meanwhile the town would lose business at the mall, and propably none of the people who I forced to move would be interested in putting vendors up with my mall again. As Mayor, I just can't do that to thecitizens who trusted me enough to establish them there. I have a ticket saying "unfortunately you will have to move your vendors, sorry for the inconvience"... I don't think it's a bug, sorry. It is an ill-thought-out "fix" for some nonexistant exploit. The thing thatreally bothersme about it is that it was done with NO warning, NO explaination in the patch notes. Maybe if we all keep submitting in-game tickets explaining how inconvient this is and how it is in no way an exploit, they will "fix" the "fix". Don'tJUST complain about it here, because the DEVS DON'T READ THE FORUMS. Meanwhile I am stuck with a human in place of the Ithorian I wanted to make a shipwright, so my plans to be a shipwright are on permanent hold. It's been over a month, Doc, you may want to ask Tiggs "are you SURE this is a bug?" (but thanks for the effort).

Any update on it?
I've got another person in my guild holding a civic building who will be leaving game soon. The vendors in this structure can't be moved. yes, can't. Too many items in the vendors (thousands of architect items) and it's a showroom, full of furniture, so the work around isn't going to happen.
Any clue if csr's will assist with this? I can't bring myself to tell the person to keep paying his subscription until a bug is fixed.
regards

There is no update as of yet though I have asked about it again yesterday. There is no doubt that they are aware of the issue becuase I have talked to Tiggs about it twice already.
As for CSR's helping. There were reports that some CSR's will help you if you can get both the existing owner of the structure and the new owner of the strcutre together. I don't know if they are still doing this.
