With the unfortunate changes to vendors I was wondering does anyone have suggestions on how to organize cross server vendor swaps?

You can't do that - vendors aren't like lots.

Actually you can...just think about it. It's very possible.

Vin Diesel can express the root of -1 through intrepretive dance.

It would be too much bother..

I don't see how this will happen.

You would have to skill up a Merchant on each server as does the other person. That fact alone will stop a lot cross-server swaps.

Even if you find someone willing, the tedium of having to hop onto different servers all the time, exchange emails, organize and load up vendors on servers you don't benefit from ... that won't last long. You'll spend most of your time loading vendors on servers you don't play on. Never mind your own vendors.

Doable? Yes.

Liklihood of people doing it? Slim to none.

I already do it Admittedly its only 1 vendor, currently. This person is grinding up merchant on one of my serversI play, and I am grinding up merchant on my alt for him on his. It takes 15 minutes to grind to merchant 3. Another 15 to merchant 4. After that, it is merely getting the boxes trained from the original person. There are people who do more than static lot swaps. We have people who do *chase the shift* harvestor swaps.

There are merchants who are opening shops across several servers as well. Most my alt chars are going to be merchants on the servers I play on ( on my second account).

Yes, this requires trust. The person I'm subbing for I trust implicitly. They are a major crafter, and have no reason to steal my stuff ( and vice versa). If they add the consignment system, they'll also have to find a way to prevent unsavory merchants from deleteing said vendors with all that stuff on them. ( Happens occasionally now, with claims of on offer stuff getting deleted with it). These vendors will actually sell stuff for each other, but I'm sure many people can do it for a storage vendor. As I said, artisan 3 can be ground in under 15 minutes, on mineral survey devices.
