Merchant Archive

I ve been master merchant for one month now. I held the title because i was expecting SOE to revamp the merchant skill tree as it looked easier to do than any other profession (it s only a question of calculations, not drawings). But now the harsh reality is putting pressure on my character.

I had to drop my foraging capacities to keep this title while improving my weapons efficiency. Now on the balance i have the choice or to keep a title that might eventually in an uncertain future be worth anything or give it up for skills that will bring me right away real advantages in the game. The frustration is getting higher everyday and my faith in a change in the reverse sense.

No developer ever suggested that they could be thinking about revamping the skill tree and give any real cost advantage to master merchants. Meanwhile, the ranger skill tree got completly reworked, which took a lot of designers resources, as they needed to design new camps.

Anybody else have this feeling that master merchant will never be worth the skill points investment?

I feel your pain /bites lip

I have been a Master Merchant for one month my self...points to ponder

1. The tree was bugged from the start..we all knew this ahead of time

2. Did you really think they would fix it...I did

3. We have hope that player citys will be our NEW HOPE (Sorry could not resist)

I have almost stopped playing my Bria Master Merchant...I keep it because I still have a small hope that the Player citys will give us a real cantina and mayor tree..why you say...well I dont want to try to get the skills over....

I suggest the following...

1. I hope you have made almost 1 million credits - I have - so cut back on your stuff...remove all vendors...sell all your stuff..turn off your harvestors..leave only your home

2. Pay up your home maint for 10 days

3. Start a new toon on any other server

4. Have fun again...

5. Wait till they fix it..if you have friends/PA on other server pop in to chat..or help

That is what has got me thru the Cost of Items listed/1000 = 45 min charge MONEY SINK - mess

Now I became a music man on Wanderhome...and it was more fun than..playing my MasterMerchant...that says a lot about how broke this game is atm...

Try it...the worst thing that could happen is that you find something you like to do...SAVE your Master Merchant till player citys come out...I still have hope this will save the game from a release too soon and the4 P's of project planning Pi$$ Poor Project Planning...

Just have fun...
