Here is a quote from the In-Dev board:

Merchant
Fixed an exploit where you could steal things from vendors
Fixed the max sale price on vendors being the same as the bazaar.
You now have to select "init vendor" from the vendor options after you place your vendor to activate it.

I hope that middle one is backwards. It sounds like to me that they made the max sell price on private vendors 3k like the bazaar. How are you supposed to sell houses etc? Maybe I'm mis-interpretting it but it seems kind of simple.

I think we have hashed that out several times. It seems obvious it means that there were vendors limiting the sale price to 3k and they fixed it, not that they limited it to 3k on purpose. Honestly if we weren't so paranoid about the changes we've seen lately we would probably never have assumed it might have meant anything else.

Right. It's paranoia combined with the fact that whatever bug might've been sometimes limiting sale price on vendors seems to be a pretty obscure one that few if any merchants have encountered.

If you read it literally, it obviously means that currently, SOME vendors are limiting items to 3k like the bazaar, and shouldn't be... this is fixed.

The wording was a bit open for interpretation, but it was actually correct as worded.

The problem is "the max sale price on vendors being the same as the bazaar."

I.e. "The problem" = "the max sale price on vendors being the same as the bazaar."

And they "Fixed" "the max sale price on vendors being the same as the bazaar."

Thus, they"Fixed" "the problem"

If they had said "Fixed the max sale price on vendors TO BE the same as the bazaar" that would have been different... people are reacting like that is what they heard, but its not.

Please read the half dozen or more posts on this. There was a FIX, not a NERF
