You must really be a great merchant if at master merchant you have a singlevendor loaded with 4000 items. With the ability to have up to 12 vendors with any amount of items up to 4000 in total across all 12 vendors this is not a nerf in my opinion.

Due to the upcoming Merchant Nerf, and also the upcoming change for backpacks counting as contents+1, instead of 1, I'm shuttting down my businesses, and quitting the game.

Reasons:

I will no longer be able to sell packs full of Trim, Synthetic Cloth, RFP, or Fiberpanels, since only a few packs will take up my entire allocation on the vendors for my tailor components business.

I will no longer be able to store packs of Architect supplies (Generator Turbines, Wall modules, etc.), since these alone will easily take up my allocation on the vendors for my Architect business. Forget about making heavy harvesters for people in a timely fashion.

I will no longer be able to sell Wide ranges of resources for my large customer base. I break everything up into 1k,5k,10k,20k,25k,100k stacks so EVERYONE has access to them, from beginner, to large-scale crafters. This will no longer be the case. So my resource business will be finished.

Since the devs have decided to kill our only means ofstorage (for merchants), BEFORE they fixed the housing item limits that they were supposed to fix long ago, there is no other recourse than to liquidate everything and leave the game. At least others may be able to get some use out of the things that I have collected over the last 13+ months.

I've already cancelled 4 accounts. Two remain, and those will be cancelled 9/10/04. I want to wish everyone luck in the upcoming months. I MAY come back for JTL, but with the way the DEVs seem to treat their hardcore, dedicated players, don't count on it.

I've had fun playing (until recently), and getting to know all of you on Bria, Starsider, and Kettemoor. pst me in-game for my email address. As I said, I'll be on for a couple more weeks. Back to Solitaire.

Thanks for listening,

-Trystian

Well, including my Resource vendors, my Structure Vendor, my Crated Components Vendor, my Art vendor, my Power-up vendor, and my "storage" vendor to hold all my components for my master crafting professions(Artisan, Architect, Tailor), I have over 20,000 items. Most of which is resources. A 4000 item limit spread across 1 or 1000 vendors doesn't matter, it's still too restrictive to effectively manage a decent sized business. SOE just wants everyone tohave small businesses, and screw the successful merchants. I've put in over 3200 hours in 13+months building my businesses and reputation.

SOE just wants the big guys to drop out to make room for the little guys, or to get more accounts. Well, I sure as hell won't give them more money to screw me over anymore. They don't use lube. I could probably deal with this Merchant nerf on some level, but I don't agree on the way that they announced it, and then left the players AND Doc in the dark, just to sweeten the nerf a while later. It's like taking a magnifying glass to an ants nest, then dropping a sugar cube on it a week later and hope the ants forgot that half their nest was burnt to a crisp.

Their "Bait-and-Switch" technique has been WAY overdone in the past 6 years. No more SOE for me until they clean up their act...which would be never, I bet. They invest too much in gaining NEW customers, and not enough in customer service/customer satisfaction for their existing customer base.

It was a nice distraction for a while, but Real Life is calling me back. Sailing, Water skiing, horseback riding, camping, hiking, dating, partying....gotta love it. =)

Well if they don't get the vendor bug fixed thats on TC and push the release to live you may have your vendors cleaned ot sooner thanyour closing date 9/10/04

I wonder if the bug is related to the new limits, or if its an old bug thats resurfaced
