Not sure about what is planned for next publish with all the changes to release plans. But 10.1 was said to cover "Top CS/QA Correspondents' issues"
What can we expect to get?
I have a dream: "a relist items options" - I guess you all know what I mean. To be able to relist items with same price/description in stockroom with a simple click of a button (hopefully with a multi-select options but just relisting single item would be an improvment).
It would be nice to have "multi-select" (select several items and list them all with same price) when sellign new items but IMO, if I have to choose I would take the relist function. Some might say that having a multi-select function would be more useful since you couldretrieve items from stockroom and then re-sell (many times I do this today rather than sell from stockroom since it is usually faster). My argument is:
1) I sell many items with individual prices (sliced weapons, enhanced weapons etc) so I still need to check what the old price. Also easy to make a mistake and sell the wrong item.
2) Need to have enough space in inventory
3) You must go to each vendor to resell
Can we have a voting what is our most wanted feature? I think we deserve to get some real love from devs now 
Of course there are other things I really want tro see like admin on vendors, consigment sales etc but a function to relist item should not be that big thing to add IMO. Of course I might be wrong.

I would love to have the "restock" one-click option, where it automatically relists at the old price. Heck, I'd even be happy with it carrying over the old price when I restock it the current way, instead of carrying over the price of the LAST item I restocked!
My main profession in this game is, by far, a Ranger. I also am a happy farmer/miner. I love doing those and making my business at it, and I love the farming and harvesting. I love selling my stuff, and I love setting my own prices and having my own merchants. But when it comes to restocking, that's when I go, "This isn't gaming, it's work."

I will push for our changes at every opportunity but realistically I wouldn't expect to see our revamp until after the Combat Balance and the JTL release. I could very well be wrong about that but that is my impression of the landscape at the moment.

But publish 10.1 was going to fix some of current issues. Maybe it will give room to something for us?
If the develoeprs says something to you Doc like: "We will give you X man hours of developement time to fix one of your issues/wishes. What would you like to get fixed?"
What would you answer? What is the number one highest on our list?

Unfortunatly...the answer is probably no.
We had our chance, our quick pre-JTL,GCW,CR/CB pass andthey fixed one thing, and it was the No.1 issue. Big surprise.
The system worked guys, we told them what the biggest issue was and they fixed it - shouldn't we be happy and content for a bit?
No? hmmm. oh well, we'll pick our number one issue better next time maybe.

That issue got fixed because it fit with what they were already doing not because it was out number 1 issue. They actually effectively took care of 3 of our issues with this publish but again they were all issues which solved problems they were already looking to solve.
I will tell you that the chance of anyone coming to me and saying you have "x hours ..." is almost zero. It doesn't work like that. Also realize that generally changes in a mini publish are smaller. Most of our remaining issues are fairly large in scope and will be part of some future revamp where we get a sizable part of a publish to ourselves. I'm always suggesting minor changes that come up. Its possible that some of those will get done.
The one most often suggested lately is to fix the offers screen so that the items don't go into your inventory instead of the stockroom. I am sure there are others suggestions.
