Merchant Archive

1. Vendors can be attacked - needs to be fixed

2. If you delete a vendor with items in it they stick around forever - can not be retrived

3. Laggy retrive and slow/messy movement of stock

4. Make stock room work like bank

5. Make it the way it was suposed to be with merchants the only ones who can have more that one home

6. Fix ad barking to work

7. Fix ad barking custom string

8. Fix vendor map (resets all the time)

9. I want to be able to advertise my shop not my vendor

10. allow me to make my home/shop stand out - I watch people run past my place all day and nobody stops - my home looks like everybody else - hard to tell best shop on planet and someones private home - something as simple as a flashing beacon like on a Ion generator - but on the sign would help

My ton ten things I would love to have fixed ASAP - What is yours?

You hit most of the big ones. If you add in fixing the home owner's permissions for admin and vendor controls so we can place vendors in other homes, it's a pretty good list.

Something else I've noticed with vendors. When I look at my vendor, I get the same options for region/planet/galaxy thatI would see if looking at the normal bazaars in town. Now using any of these selections shows me nothing but what my vendors have up for sale (now I might be the only one in my region, but I know planet/galaxy has more stuff up for sale heh). Now when any other player looks at my vendor, they have no options for region/planet/galaxy either. Not sure why theres a difference there.

Also, I have gone looking on other Bazaars in towns under regional/planet/galaxy settings which do seem to show items for sale in other cities, but I have been unable to locate any of my items for sale in my shop through this method. The only thing I can locate from my shop on city Bazaars is available items, and for now the only items of this nature are ones that are in "limbo" from removing my vendor while it had items listed on it. This pushed all items to the regional level instead of vendor level, and has made them unretrievable (just hangs trying to retrieve, while other items placed on this new vendor(s) are retrievable)

In Beta I remember putting up vendors outside town, and they ended up with new region names, such and such plains/platau/whatever. My newest location for my shop shows up as Tatooine,Tatooine. Not sure if this is part of the problem with not being able to retreive items from my shop that have been pushed to the regional level, but it almost seems as if there is no defined region for my vendors.

All these issues are undoubtedly more important and buggy, but here's the one that I find bugging me personally the most day in and day out:

I *hate* the way items placed on your own vendor automatically expire after 7 days just like bazaar listings!

I have a tailor shop, and one of the most important things for my overall strategy is to offer a very wide selection of styles and colors on my vendor. Even if such a thing doesn't sell like hotcakes, I want to always have, say, a Rugged Jacket in Yellow with Black piping. The all-black ones sell better, but I want my customers to have other options too.

So I've got about 250 items or so on my vendor all together, and this means every day, about 10-20 things expire into the stock room, and I have to go through the painstaking process of relisting them, putting in new item descriptions because the old ones are gone, etc.

Granted, there's a bit of utility to the expiration too, as it's a good indicator of what's not selling, and prompts me to maybe lower the price, stop making similar items, etc. But I'd like to have some control over the process.

Vendors are severely bugged. And personal vendors are more bugged that Bazaar vendors. I "offered" items to a friend's vendor since I don't yet have a house(I'm still a Master Artisan). The friend then deleted the vendor with 8 of my items on it. Well those items now show up as "avialable items" to me but there is NOWHERE I can retrieve them. They also count against my maximum of 25 items in the bazaar so I am now limited to 17 sale items. OUCH!

Add bug:

Clothing customization doesn't work at Hiring IV on either player races or non-player races.

Actually this feature works VERY well if you have more than one shop. It is VERY IMPORTANT that ONLY my items appear. Basically, it allows you to manage all of your vendors from one. As my shops are spread out, this is a big timesaver as I can accept offers on any vendor and post sales. (I can only retrieve items, however, if I am at the vendor that the item is in).
