Merchant Archive

i have a few rants, I have been a merchant since august. I have always sold on the bazzar and my vendors. After dealing with bugs, broken vendors, losing items, having to make 100+ vendors to get one that i want, yes i know you can dress um but thats only half of it.Now they do this.. and why? im sure its because combat classes cryed about what a big pain it is to acually retrieve an item which takes all of 2 seconds.

Now every time i go and buy stuff off my vendor I have to go dump inventory just to get my stuff. Even if i do happen to have a empty inventory now i have to repost stuff just soo i can deal with it at a later time. I buy stuff as soon as i can outta curtisy to the person selling it soo they can sell more stuff. Or possibly they need the money which i now many do. At any rate this is a huge pain for any hi volume active merchant. Inventory is a huge hassle as it is. Im a Droid engineer, armorer, artisan, thats takes tons of stuff. Since when is inventory management fun anyway as it is i spend hours everyweek organising crap to keep on top of it.. They wonder why there data bases are cramed to the roof with all these cross server lot trades. Making crates hold up to 1000 sure maybe not the final product but why the heck not the parts parts. Anyone ever try to make 250 adv droid brains, sheild gens, or the worst of all theDreaded Rocket launcher. Add a zero toallresorce containers to make them hold 1 million.Soo instead we just all cross server trade, get second accounts which im sure they love, or the beg, borrow and steel merchant so we can holdour tons of crap that all the combat classes need to play the game. Inventory management is the 1# complaint i here from every merchant/crafter i know and that includes, docs, combatmedics, and bio's to some extent.

Soo now we have an other inventory management nightmare just cuase a few people complain about forgeting items, or its soo much of a pain to take 5 seconds. Instead merchant now have to spend another 5-10 mins dealing with stuff and thats if we have a convient dump spot ohh wait thats another house next to my store thats just for holding swap items, aka resroce packs to make stuff. Id much raterbe acually helping a customer or completing there order. instead im dealing with more inventory probs /frown

/EndRant

oky enough of my inventory problems, 2 other things First, i did lose an item i bought the other night, 70k of link-steel poofed while trying to retrieve it

.i receieve the dreaded"this item no longer exists."

My inventory did have 2 free spots, i guess that was not enough. I notified them about it But i wanted all of you to know that bug is not 100% gone.

second, this is not a complaint as much as a suggestion.Why not let image designers do there magic on vendors. The need some love too, I can see interrior decorators and image designersmaking a nice livingnow that things are getting soo established and peopleare not happy with there empty homes and bare stores save for a fewvendors apack of resroces and a crafting station..thats right there is notenough room in a house for more : (

Even bettermake is soo they they could even change the race as well as every other feature, though im not sure if race would be possible. It would be really nice to be able to adjust everything about um and not jsut there uniforms.

Holo grinding is almost ended, maybe the merchants on global will have stuff.. : )

Hey there,

I feel your pain. I had to buy a second account, too....and I hate all the stockroom, my sales, and offers to vendor stuff. Why can't inventory just roll over? And why can't you get a mail saying you have offers? The other day I forgot to check the offers and deleted over 100k worth of stuff....FROM MY OTHER CHARACTER! lol Wow, did that feel stupid. However, I did change out the bulky vendor for a good looking Wookiee....

Take care,

And devs....Merchants need more things than just venders and new barking droids....how about more lots? And some things to craft would be nice, too....

Take care,
