I don't know about you, but I hate going into a shop and being suddenly besieged by comments from 10 different vendors at the same time. Especially tents where people are sharing the space. None of the comments get read. As it is now, the only time I turn on barking is when I am moving around vendors and my stock is tied up for a day -or- to advertise that I am buying a specific available meat. Which, in the 5-6 months I have had the skill, means it has been used 3 times.


If you notice (and, how can ya not?), vendors say the person's name who passed by them. If I'm not mistaken, it means the code already recognizes exactly who is nearby. Why not make vendors bark out advertisments only ONE time for each unique person, instead of every minute when the person moves a muscle? Also, why not make a delay time before the advertisement is barked? That way, multiple vendors could have barking in the same shop without "screaming" each other down.


Just a thought, if it's already been posted, then feh.
