Merchant Archive

First off...

I would really like to see it made possible to place items on a vendor for a specific person..

I'm often stuck in the awkward position of leaving an order on my vendor for someone...worried that a different person will come by and purchase it (either by mistake or through nefarious intent). I often have to make arrangements to list the item for sale at a way-too-high price, and then refund the overkill later...to give some small measure of assurance that the item will be sold to the correct person.

Would it be possible to implement a specific sale option? ...perhaps one that expires after a certain amount of time, and then becomes availiable to the general public?

Second...

It's been said before, but I'd like to see some vendor customization options. I'd love to get a "normal" looking person, as opposed to grandpa with hot-pink lips.

Third...

Might be nice to see some merchant-only crafting schematics...display tables and mannequins and such.

In particular...mannequins...

- A figure pops up in your inventory that you can dress in armor/clothing

- Any armor or clothing you place on the figure becomes permanently unrecoverable (like dressing vendors)

- Any qualities inherent on the armor or clothing are lost (eye-candy only)

- The mannequin (and everything worn) take up only one inventory slot.

- This is big on two points:

1) It decreases server load when people walk into tailor shops with tons of displayed clothing

2) It makes it easier for tailors to display their wares without using up all their home storage

Fourth...

It would be really nice to get a book feature!!!

I'm tired of leaving my messages on armor segments, vendor emotes, and vendor inventory descriptions that time-out. Is there any way we can get a book to leave messages in for other people to read when they browse our shops?

Yeah. 1 and 4. How cool it would be to have a few factory crates full of "how to use your droids FAQ" that I could distribute to the newbies when they come to buy droids.

I think one and four are quite good.

I don't really care about two or three either way.

yeah...2 and 3 are kinda just eye-candy, but would be a nice touch IMO

I agree, though...1 and 4 would actually make things easier
