Why aren't Master Merchants Granted an extra vendor for achieving the role of Master of their profession? What was is the reasoning behind limiting the Vendors to 6 instead of 7 with the last granted at master?
The reasoning for limiting merchant vendors will forever be hidden in history’s shadows. It was a decision that was made during beta and no one remembers *exactly* why. With the commodities revamp that is currently underway and Runesabre’s plans to tweak the Merchant profession based on Docsavag’s community plan, this is something that can and probably will change (for the better )
Good question Doc, and it got a better than expected response!
Since I don't see or recall anything called a "community plan," I assume he means your "Current Merchant Issues List" which would make a great source for a revamp.
The "no one remembers *exactly* why" line stimulates a pet peeve of mine. They never seem to write down their plans! I care less that they don't share plans than about the implied lack of good practice in their processes for getting things done.

I think the "Plan" he is talking about is actually the "Proposal for Vendor Interface" changes that they asked me for a while back and I put together based on feedback that we had in various threads on the forum.
