Logged on today, set all of my vendors for the GV function....but only my NPC vendors gave me the little system message that said "you are now searchable"...


double checked my status and it said i was searchable


didnt trust it so i ran to my local NPC city bazaar terminal and........


nothing on my non-NPC vendors showed up at all. I searched all 80 pages and ...nothing


am I the only one?

I've got a protocol droid vendor that's got stuff showing up. Apparently, the search is still buggy.


And I'm hearing people say they're not going to use it because A: it's not sortable enough, and B: you go shopping for things, and when you're done, you just have a datapad full of "Waypoint to Vendor" entries, and you have no idea what any of them are leading you to anymore.

This one isa bit silly since you can rename the waypoint as soon as it is created.My process last night on a major shopping spree was:


1) Go to each planet individually (planet-wide was easier to use and with JTLS travel is instant so this didn't really waste much time)


2) When I got a waypoint I immediately activated it. If it was a duplicate, I deleted it.


3) Rename the waypoint to what I wanted to buy from the shop.


Simple and pretty usable. Of course not all vendors had been activated yet, so I am going to repeat the process this weekend and we'll see if it's still usable.

I started renaming them last night whenI was shopping around, but my point is, it's not very shopper-friendly. It's a case of the terminals creating work for the shopper. Even if you get a waypoint off of the planetary map listing, it'll at least plug the vendor name in for you.
