Merchant:
- Increase Merchant experience by 15%
- Modify Hiring by 20.00 points

Any Merchant on TC who could test that?
Especially what the 20 points do for a Master Merchant

For the Muscian and Dancer ones (Instrument use and Prop use) it lets you use instruments/props +20 above your level, so this shouldn't effect Master Merchants, just let the Hiring 4 folks get the Master-level Vendors for example.

What the hell good is that? so the moment the buff is gone thier vendors become as though they cant do master level stuff again? why not make it something more useful to a merchant?

how about a buff that gives us +20 credits per transaction?

hiring allows for placement of a type of vendor {like NPCinstead of terminal},
people routinely climb this line set a vendor and drop it, so this is actually very practical for many dabblers

so now they are encouraging dabblers to do it with out actually spend the skill points? can anyone remind me why i am a merchant? why dont they give all players the ability to buff each other into what ever amount of inspiration it takes to become master whatever we want and then we can all be anything? what is the point of this new buff system? heck, why not just make every one jedi and be done with it? it seems that this is the only thing they are paying any kind of attention to.

I've already voiced these concerns and a couple of others as well.

I just love the fact that the poor soul who is Master, template 'locked', and do not glow nor are FS
are getting so much extra XP.... what a incentive to go watch a performance, what an insult..

I have had my XP capped for well over what, 10 months or so...XP has zero meaning for me, or my masters held.

{btw anyone see the great crafter bonus' yet? like Tailors getting a bonus to experment and resource value? oh yeah I have been laughing all day...}

It would be much better if the merchant buff made your merchants look 20% less ugly for the duration of the buff. Kind of like getting everyone drunk who wanders into your shop...

In fact, I suggested that for the duration of the buff, all vendors you created DID NOT use the extended ID color palette and improved your chances of making an "attractive" vendor.

My understanding about how this works is that there is just a set of templates and they randomly select one of them. The vendors don't have individualized appearance data like player characters do. That is why the Vendor ID idea has never come to pass, it would require recoding the way the appearance works.

I don't actually mind the +20 Hiring but then I've never considered it all that important to the profession.

And to carry that a step farther, it compelled them to spend 20% more money!
