Forgive me for asking this im-sure repeted question, but does it take Novic emerchant, or advertising 3 to use barkers now?


I seemed to recall them changing it, but I wasnt able to find out for sure, and im debating on investing into merchant and how much into it, to sell armor.


Thanks=)

Because at Adv 3 it would have been used by quite a few more people.

Well, I thought the point of them was to get rid of some of the spamming near starports. However, it appears that the only way you can get them is by getting lots or Merchant XP, which is accomplished by getting people to come to your vendor, which is accomplished by...spamming the starports.

Spamming Starports is not a good way to get customers, unless the merchant only mentions thespam message once every few minutes... If the merchantspams too much,he/she gets added to alot of ignore lists and nobody seestheir messages even ifthey clean up their act later...


There is also a new option to automatically ignore anyone who is set to AFK...

I don't believe the purpose was to eliminate or reduce spam at all. I think the point was to give DE's another module and give some spice and purpose to put points into Advertising.


Therefore, still don't see how it's 'lame'. Unless you believe you should get all the benefits of merchant with Business 3.

Hum,

at the beginning on Test Center it was at Novice Merchant.
They raised the requirement because everybody and his dog was yelling against spambot.

The fact is, it would have been a great tool to reduce the spamming in some area because they do not shout, and do not spam 4 sentences every 3 seconds.

Fact is at advertising 3 alot more people could have use it.

I'm a DE and I'll have to drop advertising 4 and loose one of the only new module I could use to master 1 simple elite combat profession.

I still fail to see your point. You really think Advertising 3 versus 4 makes a difference??? All of a sudden there will a starport full of Droid users?


You're talking about 2 additional skill points you need to spend.

Master artisan + Master in a crafting profession + Master in an Elite combat profession + Advertising 3 = 0 skill point, crafting prof you like, ability to fight, and planetary map.
Pretty good template if you don't wanna be a full crafter type.
The other option being taking novice medic and some medic skills.
So yeah, Advertising 3 would make a difference.

But it's true that novice merchant would be much better.

I've been a 'mere' two skill points away from that one last skill I need with several profession combos. Don't get me started.
