Thread: Bug in Vendor Item Limit skill? (Answer: no, incorrect description of skill by devs)

I was stocking my BE Nutrients vendor last night when I got an error about my vendor being at its item limit. I'm 0440 merchant and should be able to store 1000 items. I currently have 12 packs of 40 items, 1 pack of 10 items, and 14 individual items for a total of 517 items. Trying to add another pack of 40 gave me that error.


All I can think of is the game is tallying from all the vendors I have to reach the 1000 limit although the description for Vendor Item Limit states "how many items a merchant may sell on EACH vendor". I don't see any posts on this, don't see it in the current issues, and I'm not sure if this is something new since the last publish. Is this known in the merchant community as a bug? Has anyone submitted this to the Devs?




/start minor rant

I submitted a ticket ingame and got a cookie cutter response about "items in packs count as individual, not as one". Really?!? I didn't know that when IWROTE ITINTHE TICKET YOU'RE RESPONDING TOO. I even showed my math.Bad CSRmanship ticks me off. I know they're overworked, but if you're they're not going to read the tickets, why even bother replying.

The description is wrong, the limit is the total you can sell on all vendor together

Correct.

Your item limit is the total of ALL vendors, not each individual vendor.

Items in packs count individually but the pack holding them does not count.
An empty pack counts as 1 item.

The number displayed on the vendor status window will give you an accurate item count for each vendor.

Add them all up and see if you are at your 1000 item limit.

Thanks for clearing that up. Why couldn't a CSR just say that?

Most CSR's don't know all the intricate little details about the game.

So much for a Smuggler revamp, maybe they should just rename us, it would take less time and be easy to do.
"Useless" would be my first choice as a name suggestion.


of course at this point there is no reason to revamp anything. SOE should just shut the game off.

There are a billion tiny little parts to this game.

It is unrealistic to expect anyone to know about them all.

This helps me. Had the same exact problem last night and could not figure out what was going on. I guess it's the hundreds and hundres of ship parts I have in bags on my vendors.....
