Is this normal? Ive only just picked up Merchant by order of the holocron and am slowly (very) grinding my way through it relying solely on friends clicking the vendors I have and the 150XP per hour per vendor merchant XP I should get. However, after every morning server reset/boot, the XP I should be getting for simply having vendors up is no longer granted until I destroy and put the vendors back down. Is this intentional/known/making anyone else want to kill themselves? Any workaround I should know about?

Thanks

Watch out once you get Efficiency III. This adjusts the upkeep costof vendors, taking it down to ... 0. It seems that the merchant xp formula however is related to this cost, so you gain NO xp for having vendors active over time anymore. Only the visit of customers will get you 50 xp.

I submitted a ticket for this and got an answer stating the were aware of this bug. It took me almost 2 weeks to get to Efficiency IV after that ...

The NPC vendors stop giving the 150xp per hour. The Droids and Terminals don't seem to have this problem. Probably related to the maintenance bug with the NPC vendors. It falls to below 1 with Eff III.

So the plan would be to get everything except eff line first then use droids and terminals to get the rest. You will spend more money though because of the maintenance rates on the vendors.

Can someone on Test Center check to see if the vendor maintenance has changed and/or any of the proposed fixes that we saw in Marqie's post from the devs?

I am having a hard time getting a house to get started on this. I will see about joining one of the cities and see if I can get a tent.

What is this about a Holocron telling people to be merchants? By "Holocron" you mean the in-game help system?

After I earned effeciency 3, I still got XP. The trick is to use a terminal vendor and place items for sale for 1 million credits. You'll pay extreme maintnence costs, but you'll get about 150 xp / hour again.
