Ok, so after a month off from getting bored with the game and having college exams I have returned, and decided to drop crafting. As such I will also be dropping Merchant. I've read through a few posts and have seen that Vendors stick around after the skills are dropped. So my questions are:

1) Do merchant tents remain?

2) Is leaving merchant tents or vendors up after dropping merchant skills an exploit (or considered to be one by the players)? (Pretty sure i read that it was, just want to be sure)

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure keeping vendors and a merchant tent after dropping your merchant skills bothers some merchants. I think in the future they will more than likely add checks so people can't do this.

My personal opinion of people who do this...is rather low. If you aren't going to be a merchant, why have merchant stuff?

I'm not going to be a commando, but I got a flame thrower (commando stuff). It just looks cool

Anything from the merchant profession that you have before you drop the profession, such as vendors and tents, will remain after you drop the profession. Do take note that it is subject to change at anytime, so have a backup plan just in case that the developers decide to delete "exploited" vendors/tents. As someone that has done the profession twice (once on a hologrind and another for my chef mule), I think the devs should be improving the profession instead of possibly causing a fiasco with deleting "invalid" vendors, but those ideas are outside the scope of this topic.

Don't be too proud of this Jedi Knight you've constructed. The ability to destroy a n00b is insignificant next to the power of the nerf bat.

Thank you all for your replies, except maybe the last one which started to get a bit mean at the end. (:

Looks like the general opinion is to remove them both.

So to be fair, I'll be removing the tentsand vendors once I get around to dropping the correspodning merchant skills

Now I just need a place to store the 150 items that I have in the two tents..

The vendors remaining is definitely explotaitative so I'm glad to hear you wont' be doing that. We should be seeing a fix for that over the next couple of months or so. The tents are more problematic. I personally would support an extremely high maintenance fee on Merchant tents owned by people without the proper skills.

if you drop the skills required, it IS considered an exploit if you maintain vendors.

Don't be scum and cheat us legit merchants.

If you want the benfits our our skills.. either contract one of us or invest the skill points yourself.

Otherwise you are a cheater and exploiter and I have no choice but to /spit on you
