No, joke Stuman. Hey Doc, why are you selling us out? Everyone knows that you are a lapdog for the staff anyways, so none of you are going to do anything to help us. First they say that they want to create a free market, and then turn around and punish all of us for being successful at it. Sounds like the usual bait and switch to me Doc; where they lure you with promises and then try to bend you over and **edit** you when you aren't looking. Could this be a ploy to force us, no puns intended, to get more accounts to be able to have stocked vendors?
For all of you who are younger and do not understand yet; this is your first taste of the new ethics in companies, they donot care about anything except getting your money. None of these people are interested in helping you, Doc included. Doc's is utterly vague, because I bet that he knew all about this long before we did. How about being honest for once you pogues? Nor, will any of them care to discuss it, because they decided to screw us a long time ago.
Why do you think that they have everything great and wonderful at first for many months, then when you really get into it they just continously screw you? They do it people because they bank on you not leaving due to all the time and energy you have invested.
Tomorrow I am going to cancel all five of my accounts; and I'm damn glad I didn't open up that sixth one yet. I urge all of you to do the same; do not listen to the lapdog Doc and pay them money for them to screw you over. We are their bosses and it is time to send them a message. Never think that you do not have any power in any situation, and the best way to vote is to vote with your money, just quit. Then maybe next time they make a game they won't screw everyone overagain and again....

Sorry Doc,
I and many others both here and in the other crafter based forums appreciate what you are going through and the tough time you are having as Merchant Correspondent. And I for one am very, very sorry to see the promised fixes that you and the others in here have been fighting to have implemented for so long turn out to be such a poison chalice.
Today I did something that I never though I would do, I actually clicked on Cancel in the account setup and leave the game on the 7th Sept when my existing sub expires. I know that I am not alone in doing this, and I also know that it won't mean one iota to the Devs or SOE. So whether one, 10, 100 or a 1000 quit, the Devs seems to think they are right and the rest of us are wrong. /shrug
Whilst I can understand the nature of the reasons for why they are wishing to introduce these caps, I do not agree with the underhanded and decidely deceitfulmethod by which this subject has been dropped on the community. Instead of approaching the Correspondents for the Merchant and the other crafting professions so that we may all calmly and rationaly discuss this, they have dropped this in all of our laps and handed the correspondents - and yourself in particular - the Red Firemans Helmet and an empty bucket.
Its no use trying to fix the gate after the horse has bolted.
