Hi people,
I know there is a "bug" in the game allowing people to get merchant skils, place a vendor then drop the skills and keep that vendor. This not my intention, but i have a question related to that.
I plan on getting the novice merchant block (NPC vendors, no choices of race etc etc). Now, i know the above will change in a patch soon (keeping your vendors when you dropped the skills) but what about the following :
If i raise the customization line (i dont need more then 1-2 vendors anyway), place a nicely customized vendor (clothes and all) then DROP this line BUT keep the novice block...Will :
1. my vendor's lookstay the same?
2. my vendor's look come back to what it was at creation?
3. my vendor *poof*?
Just to know ;-) I dont really need the customization, but i'd find it much more cool. Though i dont have enough points in my final template to keep that customization line forever... If i'd loose the vendor or if it's look would come back to what it was at creation, i just wont bother getting up that line ;-)
Thanx in advance
*realizes she just wrote a super long post for such a stupid question*

(given that this isafter the changes hit)
1. my vendor's lookstay the same? Probably not
2. my vendor's look come back to what it was at creation? More than likely yes
3. my vendor *poof*? More than likely no

It is unclear at the moment to what extent the skill point exploitation fix will impact on each line in the profession, I don't think any of us know the real answer to this question at this point in time.. I certainly dont and spend about six hours a say on the forums and the same in game..
Thanx in advance

Bottom line, if you do it then your doing it in the knowledge that any of the three scenarios you gave could occur.. So I would say, if you don't really need it then don't bother as it's not worth the risk.. Unless more light can be put on the situation at this point of course.
*looks around for more info*
