Thread: Merchant Correspondant (Week 7)
Okay guys, short and sweet.
A lot of things have happened this week.
Please post your ONE concern, and ONE improvment.
Please do not debate on this thread, I just want to see the 2 things I asked for so I can make sure that everyone is heard, without all the blah blah.
My One issue: Reset of the Ad Tree at every server reset has to stop.
My One Improvment: A real command for raising and lowering objects in a house.
Concern: the vendor fees
Inprovment: Special store houses and special store furniture (like counters like you see the merchant trainers by) that only merchants can use
Vendor fees have been addressed, so lets move past it. We have to wait to see what the tax rate it
I also want to change my concern a little.
7 day limit in vendors, Dumb!
My concern is the 7 day limit on items offered for sell on merchant vendors.. Like to see my stuff be avaible on my vendor for longer periods of time, 14 days would help me.. I'm a resource vendor and sell in lower quanitites on the bazaar and sell my large quantities from my vendor..
I'd like to see improved product displays.. multi-hight layering of produts in display case style and a higher item limit in our shops.
One Issue : Items desapearing from bags sold on vendors and randomly showing back up again
One improvement : give merchants real cost advantages against those who didnt take the merchant path.
My one request is that they do something to help us advertise better, such as signs, vendor lists, etc. Not sure, but there have been lots of great ideas on this forum so I won't elaborate.
Otherwise, thank you Maggie for being so great for this Profession!

Sorry I have 2:
1) Personal vendors should not have a time limit on sales. I should be able to put items in my vendor in my home for 30 or more days. We are paying maintenance on it isn't that enough. My buisness partner has to re-enter 500+ items into our vendor every week. How horrible is this!
2) Hiring 4. Your suppose to be able to give clothes to your NPC vendor to wear. This does not work! PLEASE fix. p.s. what's the point for hiring 3? I think I only got 2 new terminals and droid?Also why are most of the NPC's vendors male, ugly, overweight and poorly dressed. I would never hire them, what's the point of hiring if you only ever get ugly NPCs. Why can't you just add all the skins of all the all thug types and trainers.
Thanks

My one concern: The needing of houses for vendor storefronts. A 1 lot store structure needs to be made so that I can place all of my vendors without begging other people to use their homes for my store. Or, make vendors structures in their own right with maint fees. As a Master Merchant I should be able to have vendors on multiple planets and own a large house as befits my position as a Merchant Prince.
My one improvement: Remove the Vendor from Business 3, replace it with reduced bazaar fees from Efficiency line of Merchant and add a Vendor at Master level of Merchant. At Business 4 of of Artisan, remove hiring increase and add a modest increase in the number of items sold on the Bazaar.
My Pet Peeve of the week: Businessman is a title recieved at Artisan Business IV, and at Merchant Business IV (?). Replace Artisan title of Businessman with the new title Salesman, as that is what they really are at that level.
And a special thanks to Holo for letting us know that we have been heard concerning the proposed Vendor fee. Thank you for your wisdom......
Concern: Need to be able to visually distinguish shops from regular houses. Perhaps a merchant-only house model, a special sign (more than just a different sign style, that really isn't enough - perhaps neon-lit or banner-sized), and/or merchant-only furniture types.
Improvement: A command to move objects up and down in a player-ownedstructure.
my one concern is getting the ad tree fixed in terms of ad barking getting erased with every server reboot. really pain in the but having to run to our stores (even on different planets!) everyday to retype everything.
i'd like to see light acutally eminate form lamps instead of torches as the only light source. maybe even have option in our buildings to control teh light level in each room..
thanks
