Just an idea - a vendor "converse" skill for Master Merchants:
Allowing the merchant to set a converse macro (as with NPC's) would allow for more roleplaying/content driven merchant vendors. That way customers could "ask" questions, or be told stories by the vendors.It would allow us to add a form of content to the game, making it a bit more of an immersive environment to walk into a merchants shop.
The radial menu would act the same way as talking to conversational NPC, contolled by a simple form of macro, eg:
/ConverseGreeting Hello, Can I help you ?;
/ConverseOption 1Do you know when was the last time you restocked?;
/ConverseOption 2 What items do you accept offers for?;
/ConverseOption 3 How much do you pay for items?;
/ConverseOption 4 Do you have shops elsewhere ?;
/ConverseReply 1 Yes, I last restocked on the 3rd September;
/ConverseReply 2 I'd be happy to buy steel off you if you have any ?;
/ConverseReply 3 If you have Steel with HR over 950 I'd pay 5cpu! Otherwise 2CPU;
/ConverseReply 4 Yes Ihave a colleague working on Tattooine at -800 -450;
etc..
I'm sure the clever Devs could come up with something better, but I won't get too deep into it.
...Just an idea
