i think that's rediculous to put in an issues list. you can randomly get the species/sex you want and keep one with the proper looks. plus you can outfit your vendors, etc
Well whats ridiculous about it?
Try and create a set of matching vendors..... see how long it takes you. Plus, why on earth shouldn't a master merchant be able to be more selective in his hiring than "Male or Female" and "Species"
You are in the minority if you feel that this is not an issue that deserves attention.

now second answer to it, i wouldnt spend any time to create matching npc character vendors, sounds like insanity
now you also didnt correctly state what i said, i didnt say the idea was rediculous, i said including it in a list of TOP ISSUES, was rediculous. there are tons of things they could do to make merchant better and when the devs see something like that in a top issues i am sure they take the whole thing alot less seriously
This is an issue serveral merchants take seriously.
And it would be renweable income for IDs..I would be IDing vendors weekly myself.
My Gals are my pride, 1femaleeach of the playable races.
There are hundreds of Merchants who play the Profession, they are not in it just to sell stuff
They are there to Merchant, provide, think Rodeo Drive over Wal-mart.
And having a shopface and storefront goes along ways into this, your NPC vendors definately can make or break the look
Just because it is not a top issue for you, does not mean it isn't one for the community as a whole.
As a Tailor there are several issues I care less for and think are stupid, but as someone in a community I understand what it means to others.
thats my basic point, idea like that doesn't belong in top issues
hey how about this, merchant signs auto show their name to everyone like they used to, i mean do we really have to put up ideas like image designing vendors
And once again, you do not have to agree with it to be a top concern/want for the community
Honestly if that many people have been asking for it to be addressed, sure sounds like a community want to me.

And for the longer listing time at MM,as they say: "Watch out what you ask for, you might get it".
Imagine a MM leaving the game, in theorie his vendor could be standing around for2 Month now, even longer if they increase the listing time. And if the last remaining item is 9M noticeabout something he will stay registered on the planetary map for the time it takes the item to be dropped into the storeroom.
And as long as there is no other check for merchant skills people could then drop merchant for even longer before they regrind it to relist.
