What i would like to see for Master Merchants is the following:
- An option to Image Design vendors to really customize them. Could use the exact window an image designer has execept Stat Migration and Holo-Emotes.
- An option in the radial menu to get back clothes/weapons from your vendor.
What you think about that?

Ok..here is the low down on that. We probably won't get THAT much customization because it would require a LOT more data to be stored about the vendor than is stored now. Right now the character templates for the NPC's are a lot less customizable than the players. BUT we could have an Image Designer come in and select from the templates that exist. That is an idea that the Image Designers have asked for, we have asked for, and the devealopers have said they like. The tricky part is getting the development time to get it implemented.

I actualy like the current system. Its like hiring real people, you can only accept or reject them, not send them in for cosmetic surgery to suit your liking.
Most of my vendors come out quite nicely and with some clothing look great.

Then at least let me add the following line to my help wanted ad:
"Aesthetically Challenged need not apply."

You lost all that armor when you put it on him anyway.
You'll just have to put new armor on the next one.
Once they're wearing it, it's gone forever.

for armor and weapons I usually give our merchants all my stuff that I have wiped out.like armor that has 0/12000 condition or if a gun or other weapon gets trashed while repairing (the dreaded 1/1) it it goes to our city merchants to use for their vendors to decorate them as they see fit
so merchants contact your city combatants and hunters and have them set those kinds of items aside for ya to use

Actually, we ID's have been told that we will be able to do this in the future. We will be able to choose from among some template looks, and not to ID as we normally can player characters. It will still be very much better than what we have now though....it took me about 4 hours of deleting vendors to get a twi'lek female that wasn't obese, old, or having wildly clashing makeup and skin coloring 
There is no eta for this as far as I know at the moment though....since we have already had our revamp of sorts, i imagine it is pretty far down the list of things to be implemented.

If you're lucky they might give you another timer while they're making improvements, eh? Everyone loves timers.
