Merchant Archive

Personally, I am happy about all the changes except the one concerning vendor item limits...

My displeasure with even the idea of limiting vendors even further has me angry, disheartened and plain old flabergasted.

Yes I did say "limited further" The vendor interface is absurd. The manner in which items are listed, sold and re-listed is archaic. The 30 day time limit is it self a means by which vendor total items are controlled.

I could theoretically go and spend the next 8 hours at my keyboard adding20k items to one of my vendors... but in 30 dayswhen most dont selland fall off into storage, I would have to spend another large chunk of timere-listing them.

As a merchant I personally hate re-listing items and working with the vendor database... I dont do it for the money (I have enough cr to play hard...very hard for a long long time) and I dont do it for some ego stroke... I only stock and maintain my vendors to make certain items avail to the public that they might not have an easy time of finding otherwise.

Some may disagree with the way I conduct business.. or accuse me of over-pricing, monopolizing (an absurd notion with resources) etc... But I do what I do, not because I need to or have to... I do it to help other players enjoy the game more.

Further hiderance by the dev's to my abilty to provide this service will result in me not doing it anymore...., "Varnax" my toon wont care... in fact he can drop the merchant/artisan skills he only maintains to provide this serve to the community and use those 49sp or 1/5th his total alloted points for things to better my enjoyment of the game.

This is how I see things... I am fairly sure there are other merchants/crafters that see it the same way.
