Question can be found at least once on every Merchant Forum page. Perhaps using the Search Feature on this forum will help you find answers quicker.

It doesn't, altho it should.

It doesn't, but this is a bug, so if you go this route you're exploiting a bug. So far as I know they're not punishing it as an exploit, but if they suddenly fixed it they might not feel they need to give people a whole lot of warning of it, so you're taking a risk.

I swear, if I hear it's a bug one more time...

It may not be fair, but have you ever heard a dev say it's a bug? I haven't. In fact, I remember when people could trade vendors. That was a bug, but the devs still let people who got vendors that way use them. So, I strongly doubt that one day they'll just remove your vendor without warning.

It is a bug whether you want it to be or not having a vendor you don't have the skills for simply isn't the way it is supposed to be. And yes I know the devs consider it a bug but I can't point you to a postbecause the reason I know isn't in a post.

Whether they will fix it in a manner that is fair to merchants is questionable. But they should. After the last patchwhen it was possible to use any weapon without a cert did they allow me to keep using my Flamethrower after the fix? No. Why should Merchants have people using our own skill perks to compete with our business when the people using them don't have the skills?

After they fix this bug tha allows you to continue to operate a vendor without the skill to do so they should remove the ability players to make offers to a non merchant vendor, remove the abillity for sales to be put on the vendor and leave only the withdraw sale and the stockroom retrieve option. This would allow the owners of these vendors to remove their stock or leave it until it sells and then shut down the vendor. I don't want anyone to lose their merchandise but it isn't fair to continue to use a vendor without having the skills to operate one.
