The sarcasm is strong in this one... someday... a correspondant you will be.

I got a good chuckle out of this one

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, 'How can we do this and not make another EQ?' We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen." - Julio Torres

Make it so we can trade our pets in for callable ones, or at least deeds so we can put them in our houses and /cry! (lol)

Of course, you realize, that this post is far too intelligent for the Developers to get.

The rest of us got it but well, swish, right over their heads.

Sarcasm usually does that to the dull witted.

....and then no matter how hard we get nerfed, we still keep CH because we are still some of the coolest characters on the game.

Hehe glad that people realize it was sarcasm. Was a bit afraid that someone would take me serious.

However the Sword of Sarcasm was not only pointed at the devs but also against some of the players as well. I have been very afraid (and voiced that un several discussions) that the request for removing the vendors for people who had dropped merchant would cause something like this. The cure is worse than the illness. Don't ask for a "nerf" before we get our other demands that would enhance gameplay fixed first. Now devs walk away after fixing one of our top issues and think that is enough to satisfy us.

I don't think that master merchant should have a significant higher limit than a 0-0-0-4 merchant. Don't artificially make master merchant more attractive by nerfing the "dabblers". I think the profession need to be made more attractive by adding features like consignment sales, even more vendors selling vendor space to crafters (i.e being able to put someone on admin) should be features you get at higher level of the merchant profession. I really would like merchants to become a profession you play to sell/buy as a true merchant and not just a tool for crafters to sell stuff. I am pretty sure that 99% of the merchants are also elite crafters (and I am pretty sure that 99% of the loot vendors are people who have dropped merchant).

I can live with having 0-0-0-4 (or 3-0-0-4) but don't force me to spend more skillpoints than that to be able to run my business.

I don't think you should be able to drop vendors and keep them (however you can always argue about what the skill really is, the abiity to keep vendors or to place them but let not go into that discussion again).

I also think that merchant should have no pre-req skills. That would also make it more attractive to non-crafters, not to mention doctors/cm which also need to spend 15 SP to get novice artisan.

And about the argument that some merchant say about finding a master merchant to sell their stuff. Well, been there done that and never found any who was interested (and I am on of the top-5 ws on my server).

You see the problem with posts like this is.. the devs will probably jump on this, and in the next interview they'll have another excuse to reply (when asked about the negative response from players) something along the lines of:

"That's completely not the feedback we're received from the bulk of our community. The bulk of our community has been waiting for this and, though not necessarily upset, frustrated that they haven't been able to jump into the cockpit of a starfighter and go into space."

And

"Yeah, all the guys who are happy with everything are playing the game. They aren't spending their time sending you guys letters or posting on the forums."

Shame on me.. the devs'd never say something like that if the players are unhappy right?

lol hope thay are more clever than that. But I am not sure.

Maybe I will see TH post in my thread and say that"great idea about the vendor badge, I will talk to the desv about this"

There are a lot of stupid players as well. We might probably see someone post in the "How do I get FS XP threads" that you need to visit vendors to get FS XP lol.
