Thread: Why do items on our vendors have a limit on the amount of time they can be on the vendor?

i can see why bazarr auctions have a limit of 7 days so they dont get cluttered. but to have that limit on our vendors makes no sense to me. were the devs just lazy and used the bazaar interface for the vendors? can anyone think of a good reason for the time limit on personal vendors?

Nobody's said officially, but i suspect that it's melons. i,e., the database issues

has nothing to do with the database....the items still exist...they have just been moved from one place to another...


seems it would be easier on the database to have no limit...then it wouldnt have to track the time stampson millions of items...


This really really bugs me....i was up lreally really late one night and loaded my vendor...all the items came out in the middle of the night....didnt realize it until later the next day and reloaded the things...now all my items are on a really inconvient time schedule

Yeah, they've been moved from one space to another, but that encourages you to mark them down and get them out of circulation. And also a week later as I understand itthey're moved from available to oblivion.

Oh, also discourages using vendors for storage.


(BTW I hate this just like everyone else, just think this is why it's this way)
