Thread: Im trying to build my character is this possible?
Honestly...why would we want to help you get all of the benefits of Merchant without having to keep the skills for it? I don't get it..what exactly is our motivation supposed to be?
Is it just me or is the new correspondet a real jerk to anyone but the "OMG I LOVE BEING A MERCHANT" crowd?

No, I'm just not very patient with people who want to get something for nothing. That is it. I'm sorry if that offends some people but that is the way I feel about it.
That's not what you said in your post.
Why didn't you say something like: If it does allow it, I would bring that up as a bug. No profession let's you keep some of the "power" of it after you drop the skills of that class. You don't retain the ability to use a scatter pistol after dropping BH, or to heal Battle Fatigue after you drop entertainer, so something like this wouldn't be allowed.
But, it was a very simple andhonest question, and your response was nothing less than rude.
To the subject: No its not. 
Lossen up guys. If you have been arround in this forum for a while you would see that we get alot of these posts. Its like asking can I get Master CH and give it up and keep using my 3 pets at once.

Actually my question was an honest inquiry as to why we would want to help with that? I have made all of those statements you have above over and over for weeks now. I guess I'm tired of the endless stream of people who come here wanting us to help them get their vendors and now tents and then give up the skills. I've often wondered how other forums deal with this if they get it. I don't see anyone in the Riflemen forum asking how to keep the cert for their T21 after they give up novice rifleman. I have seen the same question in Politican..
I am not opposed to those of you who are on a quest for the FS slot and are grinding through merchant to get there. I think the whole holocron system is a bad idea and that it is making the game very un fun but I haven't had anything negative to say about the pepole trying to get through merchant for that purpose. I do however have a problem with people who want to run a vendor with all the bells and whistles that merchants have while using their skill points for something else. It isn't fair to the merchant class to allow that and I am sorry if I have trouble being polite about the fact that it is unfair.
To Dak & Yajedi,
I've always been impressed with the longsuffering patience that Doc and Draz (and Marqie) show to the newbies and holo-tourists in this forum. I admit that you won't get that from me. Doc's question was legitimate and politely asked.
In my mind, the only thing more lame that havingthe whole "how can I work the system to get all the skills without having to earn it" mindset, is to walk into these forums expecting us to help you succeed with it. Sorry, Dak,Doc's question to you was far more polite that you deserved.
