My Vendors have gone and i think it's my own stupid fault.


I was a Master Merchant, had been for sometime but due to my Chef not being a profitable as it once was i decided that i did not need as many vendors as i had. So i dropped master merchant and have started going Image Designer for a change and keeping master chef only selling of one vendor.


I went to my shop to clear out destory the vendors i did want but when i got there i only had 2 left.


I've lost about 24 million's worth of product and it's all due to me dropping merchant.


I am sooooooooooooo gutted....


Hope this does not happen to any of you!

Sounds like the 14 days inactivity rule (vendors will self delete if no activity in a forthnight)

yeah you really need to be careful of that best trick is to have something at the price limit so the vendor stays active

Wrong


There is a inactivty removal in place


two weeks of zero interaction for your vendor and it's gone


they call it being abandoned I think, and fully stocked fully paidvendors are included in this.

WOW! Thanks Ani!! Man this is the last thing we need new or young merchants to think. BTW, if you are doing your daily vendor clicky run, check your friends and guildies in the same area. It only takes a sec and can save so much greif and heartache if they are also under the wrong impression.

Soo... a vendor that is not used will go *poof* after two weeks, even if it has a year's maintenance in it. What's the point of being able to place a dozen vendors - to increase our chances of losing one due to inactivity?


Yet if I quit the game, my buildings will exhaust their maintenance and draw from my bank account, meaning that they will still be here 2 years from now.


BTW, where is merchant in the line of classes being revamped? Well, proposed revamp list.

My vendors used to be active all the time...


I got hit because instead of people coming into my shop and checking my vendors they are doing it from Bazaars..


So i have stocked vendors, all paid up and becuase the shop visiting has dried up. i lose millions.

That is BS. I would have sworn that it got bumped to 30 days and even 90 days at one point in a latter fix/publish. I know that there was an majoroutcry over 14 days to spark that change. I remember going "Whew, I know I will log in once a month."


I just had one go poof too. I have submitted tickets to that effect.

Same thing happened to me. Oddly, my vendors had been inactive for much longer than 2 weeks before they poofed. Fortunately I only lost a few million in items, and most of it was stuff that's hard to sell.
