I'm sorry but this is a healthy change and one that was needed for a long time.
How was it a good thing/needed?
forcing people to interact with each other, how is that not bad?
Forcing people to have to sell items through other people causes issues all in itself, since you have to trust the person, and doing anything of such is very risky.
Where is it stated that merchants are supposed to have unlimited amounts of storage while others must suffer with their house limits?
If everyone has an equal chance, no player really has to suffer
how is it an equal chance? not everyone wants to spend their SP on Artisan just so they can have 1 vendor to put all their things in, it shouldnt have to be that way
Getting to the point of having artisan took me all of 5 minutes. So yes, to get a vender, it is very easy, and an equal chance
I can tell you that I am not a merchant but after filling up my large house, medium house, and my bank I still do not have enough room for my other items.
Venders = solution?
again, you have to be an artisan, unless the devs added vendors for anybody to use. hmm maybe a thought?
As it stands, no you don't. You don't have to have anything to keep a vender running other than money (until after this bogus nerf)
I hear people are actually mad that vendors that do not have anything inside them wont show up on the map vendor.
Where'd you see this? lol
the 100's of posts i've been reading about the nerf
Find it
LOL thank god!
But I know people are just going to work around this by putting 1 item at 9999999999 and naming the vendor something that people always use but is only naming it that so he can get merchant xp.
Yea, sadly.
at least you agree
and believe me I cant waiiiiiit till they get rid of recursive macros so I dont have to load into Coronet with 50 spamming idiots surrounding the starport loading area.
The recursive macros being taken out will directly affect you unless you don't fight anything in anyway. Dancers run off macros, thus healing BF and mind wounds when it may be a non populated time. It also will create issues for trying to craft, instead of it coming up and you just putting resources in, you have to press it (while its just one more step, it does cost time and is an inconvience)
this will force the real entertainers to stay, the ones who hate the afk bots, i see nothing wrong with it, the devs have even said they want to help people around times where entertainers arent usually around- late night, early morning. they also want to change the crafting process. these are good things. but having to wade through the lag in an afk infested area isnt a good thing
Forcing real entertainers to stay is a task all in itself. Few people want to sit infront of a keyboard for hours on end grinding musician. What the dev's say and what they do are completely different things. They say that the combat balance will be this year. They push it up until 2005. Addignore reduces lag quite well, so does disabling afk person spam (its in your options box)
for once SOE does something good for a change.
Item cap and the soon to be lack of entertainers is a good thing? Let me mind disease you after they take these macros out, let's see how long it takes you to find someone actually dancing/playing music.
the real entertainers will stay, the afkers will have to play the game as was intendedThats the problem, lol, not many people want to sit around for hours on end doing nothing more than playing music or dancing.
thanks for quoting my post, i tried editing it but these forums suck
