It will simply be unfeasable to fully stock vendors with the recently announced merchant changes.
But no matter how hard the Devs try to break up the imaginary monopolies (the whining of hologrindercrafters who thought they could be make a bunch of subpar itemsfor a month and be a billionaire) the players will find ways around it.
How many of you dirty "monopolistic"crafters will just start sellingyour productsin crates(those that you already dont) probably actually make more money than you do now since all other vendors will be empty and players will buy in bulk when they find you?
If the vendor changes go through, this is what Ill be doing. Players already buy 4 or 5 of a weapon at a time to get the "perfect slice". I'll just start selling crates of 10-15 of each weapon instead of individuals. And you know what? I'll STILL have lots of customers and the whining quick buck players won't.

They will buy by the bag not the crate. Anything worth buying in crates is already sold by the crate.
Now people will put on their vendor, bag of pistols, bag of rifles, bag of 1 armed..... So to be fully stocked they may require you to spend more money to get 1 of everything, instead of stocking 1 of everything. Armor is mostly sold by the bag now in complete sets. I would imagine this will continue, and you will see it spread.

Excellent attitude!
You can probably appreciate my latest idea. i am gonna open a cracker vendor for all of these people that cry 'nerf' and 'i am quiting and i mean it this time' every time their profession requires them to rethink their 'perfect' template to make that one uber toon that can kill it, package it and then sell it (yeah right). figure they may want something to go with their ever flowing whine.
