I know that there are quite a few of us out there that have "expolited" the system by dropping Merchant after obtaining Master Merchant, and setting up vendors. The reason we have done this is based onone of two reasons; Hologrinding being the first,or the Mind Numbing and Tedious practices needed to become the Sam Walton's of SWG.
Be that as itmayI have some valid questions because I have close to 500 items setting on 5 vendors right now. Please canSOEaddress the following questions for me and my "exploiting" breatheren.
1: What will happen to the vendors I have since I dropped Merchant a while ago ?
2: How many days do I have to remove all inventory from all my vendors (five)?
3: Will SWG eliminate all my vendors at 4am PST when my server resets ?
4: Can Doc Savage or another SOE offical answer these questions prior to the Merchant change ?

No one "official" is answering any of our questions, but in at least one of these other posts is a copy of the publish notes that were, however briefly, on the TC which will (?) answer a few of your questions.

These are some valid questions - everyone please keep replying to this thread until some sort of offical answer is given.

From my testing on TC nothing will happen except that you will no longer be able to offer items up for sale. This means that you will most likely be able to continue to let your stock sell but not replenish it. That means if you fully stock the night before the publish goes live you will have 30 days to sell it all or retrieve it bevore it goes into the stock room. After that you'll have another 7 days to retrieve it before it gets deleted and 2 more weeks after that before the vendor itself disappears from inactivity.
That is assuming nothing changes. I know there are a lot of people who would like to see the 2 week inactivity time extended a bit.

Pure speculation coming:
1: Most likely, you won't be able to add new items to those vendors.
2: Unknown. They may just leave the days as is...30 days for the sale, another 7 in the stockroom. Or they could decide to shorten that time to a week or two total.
3: Dunno
4: Agreed, these answers will be required, and posted for ALL to see, before it goes live. Alot of players that will be affected by the changes won't even know they are coming because they don't read the forums.
