I sure as hell hope you guys are planning to beef up the bazaar with this patch because I know one thing for sure. All those locked containers that I have in bags of 20 on my vendor are going on the bazaar as singles. All my crates of muon, crates of clamps, bags of identical serial loot, 100k bricks of resources, everything will be placed on thebazaar in singles. You are taking away my ability to sell things in bulk, I dont have the room to store them, and I am not going to sell them together for the cheapbazaar max price. I wont be able to give it to anyone else to sell as I am pretty sure a majority will be looking for somewhere to sell their stuff as well and the minority that have merchant will be hard pressed to even get all of their own stuff up on their vendor. I imagine this will probably result in some sort of overload to your database but I have nowhere else to put it. I think you better add a few more customer service reps to the list of people you are looking to hire. I can already see the tickets flowing in to them from everyone.


So depending on how fast people start to move stuff from their vendors to the bazaar I would say a few hours before the bazaar goes boom and they rollback any patch with these new vendor restrictions.

Oh and I also figure the trade boards to follow soon after when everyone starts to use it to hawk their stuff. If you thought the trade boards moved fast and people had to bump their auctions every few minutes or get sent a page or two down, try keeping your auction on the first page when a patch like this comes out.
