Merchant Archive

Quick question folks, I need to move some skill points around and my merchant looks like where they will have to come from. What I need to know is will my vendors loose there uniforms when I loose that skill? or will they stay as long as I have enough points to maintain that vendor?

Thanks for any and all replies!

No, they will not lose their clothes.

I'm not going to win popularity contest probably with the rest of thisanswer, but oh well.

AFAIC, skills should only come into place when they are actually needed from the description in the skils panel. For instance, there was a recent mention about the Merchant tent. The Efficiency 4 skill states Place Merchant Tent. It does not state MAINTAIN Merchant Tent. Likewise the skills for Master Doctor, Master Combat Medic, Master Chef, Master Dancer and Master Musician have the word PLACE in their abilities desciptions.

Additionally, there were mentions in the past about intent of Merchant skill sets, particulary in the pre-exploit fervor, where TH mentioned that Management was the only thing necessary to maintain vendors placed, NOT Hiring, not Efficiency and not Advertising.

For people of this forum to advocate nerfs to the system in order to gain some sense of pride or express malice to other players who are acting in accordance with the game skillsets as written is wrong.If you want to garner some other profession's skill points in order to penalize their legal methodology of play to fit your POV you have gone down the path of nerfism, IMO. Solving some injustice that means nothing to your personal play oryour profession skillset through advocation of changes that do not facilitate gameplay is bad and leads to nothing but nerfs, much like Swordsmen received.

More effort should be spent on getting people to want to be Master Merchants, not changing the current skillset to hurt people who have used the skills as explicitly described in the Merchant skill boxes.
