EEEKK
I love my shop have been a strong supporter of Merchants should only have vendors.
But its been ayear, Please no flames I have been merchant longer then most players have been in game 
(started on day 1)(had house and shop on day 4...)
(started on day 1)(had house and shop on day 4...)I want the skill points, Doctor is looking fun and I have some sword skills, Ive droped all the skills for merchant except fo the 0004.
should i honestly risk it? (i have over 10,000 itemes in stock) and i stock regularly..
I am fed up with merchant I like running a shop. Im one of the more known merchants on my server... but Its time to stop
WHAT I am asking is I know I wont lost my vendors if i drop the skill, In fact they will keep all the options I have set on them...
Are the devs going to fix it so vendors are merchant only? will they make all our items go poof? Or if a change is coming will they give us fair warning to gring back up the skill (easy to do if you have a frequented shop)???

aye thats what im thinking
I have honestly over100 million credits worth of items in stock that would make me quit.
Ill jsut have to tweek my template i can still get master doc but will have to sacrafice some sword skills, this will let me be a suporting unit in pvp and a decent stand alone player in pve.
I think ill take your advice.
It still stinks that after a year this question still has to be asked ...

The devs policy has rarely been to delete items. My best guess is they will make the vendors inactive until you regain the skills.
If you really care about the items and really would hate to see them go though, I would keep merchant. Even when I have over 60 million worth on vendors I could lose that in a heartbeat. Yea I would be mad about it, but it wouldn't be the end of my character. I'd just give up crafting.

I won't suggest you drop the skills(I don't really care if you do or not.. I don't think it is 'bad' if you do though)... but my opinion is that the DEVs would be incredibly stupid if they were to put any fix to vendor poaching that deleted peoples items. They have never said it is something they do not want you doing, the closest has been that it is not encouraged. And you aren't the only player to feel the way you do, and have turned to poaching. So the chances of them sticking in a hotfix to just delete poached vendors... would seem like a really bad business move considering all the people that are already on the edge of quiting. And since it is very obvious that SOE is in the business of making money.. I just cannot see them deleting anything, especially poached vendors. Making them inactive (with only the ability to remove items) yes, but deletion... no.
