Merchant Archive

Why is it that I can pay 5k maint on a house and get 7 days worth, but I put 5k into my vendor and get 1 days worth? This is rediculous! So I have to pay a crap load to keep my stuff from auto-deleting after 24 hours? Stupid !

Fix this please!

it's not broken. That's the one thing that is actually working as intended.

Use an NPC vendor. Until you can use one, pay your friends to look at your virtually empty Terminal vendor with a 1cstone knife on it to get merchant exp.

I are you figgen joking or what, I had a terminal vender with 100 guns on it, AND IT WANTED 5K AN HOUR TO KEEP MY GUNS UP FOR SALE. So now your telling me that the NPC venders will be ripping me off 5K an hour like the terminal vender was. Whatare you DEV's a figgen moron or what, for you have no idea on what a business is or how to run one. Did any of you ever played the game you made or ever reseached a business.

Actually they are not figen morons, if you read more, you would know that they scrapt the high maintenance idea and are going with a fixed cost, plus a sales taxes.

If this is the way vendors were intended to work, someone needs to "removed head from butt". Wow!

Daznar, do you know when this fixed price is going to be set?

My first vendor was that small droid. I payed 2k and it said my maint was good for 40days. Since then, I've xp'd up in architect and merchant and I got one of those silly bazaar vendors in my shop. I payed 1k and it said 12 hours. I was like Huh?!

Do different vendors have different maint costs?

Thanks

Something change today?

I've been using my NPC vendors and my costs have been nearly zero for approximately 100 items with an inventory value of 300k.

The devs should probably replace the money firehose (the mission system) with a money spigot before trying to saddle us with money sinks.

yes so far the devs were thinking of punishing crafters/merchants only with a money sink they wished to add tothe game, (makres no snese tome, cause moneysink should aply to every player, like travel costs or such)

so state of vendors was, droid and terminal ones worked like the devs had the "super" idea to calculate maintain as follows total prices / 1000 every 45 mins, which is totally rediculous and destroys the value of a vendor in other words the merchant profesion for high end goods.

the npc vendors had a fix amintain rate of 1, which is nice and good, even if they want to set it a bit higher lets say a rate of 5 would be acceptable but more tey shouldnt do really imo. cause vendors are there and will prolly sit long time on the wares, and we al know we cant sell every goods each day again and again.

so i hope they make the "fix", which is imo not needed, at least reasonable wthout destroying the benefits of a shop.

I abandoned the Bazaar style vendor as soon as I could place NPC vendors (note if you have random, just keep destroying the vendor till you get the race you want) and now I pay 1 credit a day.

I got rid of the bazaar type vendor and put in NPC ones. I have two now that are good for 40 days at 2k creds put into them. I guess the bazaar vendor is bugged or just set wrong. To me, they should all cost the same for maint. Thanks for the info and help all
