Hopefully I won't get banned before people can read this. I'm not out to flame on the dev's, I just feel that if there is not a response by the dev's soon there will be more said and done that will be detrimental to the game. A large amount of people have multiple accounts. The most popular reason I have read so far is that one account is for playing around with weapons and what not, and the second account is used to make things to be able to keep both accounts happy with what each account needs. Players who have one account and want to be crafters and also have fun with a fighting character will find themselves severely limited with this new nerf.
Picture this, you are a master crafter taking up x amount of skill points. Now you have to be a master merchant to be able to sell all your wares. That is another x amount of skill points. Once you have added all of those skill points, there is not a whole lot of points left to go into your fun character like rifleman or pistoleer, etc. So a number of people have bought second accounts to remedy this problem. Now you take away one big aspect of this game, the vendor, after promoting a player based economy. I never played EQ. I never wanted to. I heard all you did was fight and I didn't want to play something like that. My friends told me about this game in july and so i started in august. I was hooked for the sole fact that I could make stuff and people would buy it and I would interact with them. I was having fun. This is what a player based economy does.
This is where I hope the devs are listening. If you have a large number of people who help drive this game forward with their crafting and other social events leave where does that leave this game. For that matter where does that leave your bottom line. If you believe that losing all of these people in order to help with lag and what not then go right ahead and say nothing. You will bankrupt the game yourselves and these people will find other games to play in. Chances are they won't be Sony games and you will lose that revenue. I always thought that company listened to their customers, because if they did not, they would become other company's customers. Just right a post saying what will happen and calm down the situation. If not you give credence to what everyone else is saying and YOU WILL LOSE THEM.
Those are my two cents, my name is Elaith and I'm on the Kauri server
