I spent 6 months building up my shop, its stock and its reputation.

The new preposed limits will allow new crafters to compete against monopolies, is one of the phrases being bounced about

I had to compete against people in the game for 6months more than me , I joined in Jan, had my first shop go poof due to an error judgement on Lot Swapping (i wanted to quit that day, but i stuck at it and rebuilt my shop from scratch).

Why should I have to be forced to specialise in one part of the Medical Range, for example Stims only or buffs only.

First of all if I did this, I would take out the fun of finding resources, grabbing my harvs and putting on the highest denisty before anyone (yes this makes me tick in this game). HellI probably wont miss paying 300cpu for top notch avian, but I like the variety of crafting and resource spawns, hunting them down and harvesting them.

(I thank my lucky stars im not a tailor who is forced to specialise in selling only shirts, all day every day, for the rest of your soon-to-be-cancelled-account days)

Currently I offer an almost complete ONE STOP SHOP retail outlet, why? because I choose to build a shop of my choice , I dont want to go from having the ability to offer 90% of the Meds available in diffent stacks (singles, 5crate, 10crate etc) to being forced to only sell Stims , in 50crates. I wont sell singles, they would sell to quick and my 110 limit would empty daily and my life in this game would no longer be FUN, dont forget this is a GAME not real life, it reflects lots of aspects of real life.

I did my time 'vendor filling' in Real Life as a young teeneager stack shelves in a supermarket before college, and it sucked then, but at least i got paid. Now its seems I pay Sony to fill virtual shelves with virtual products daily? Why would I pay to do that?

So all you people who say, this will help open more markets for new crafters , and stop monopolies. well to me its like you are punishing people for hard work and successful businesses in the game. Its not my fault Mr newbie lost heart because he hasnt got the commitment to try harder.

I had a 6th month disadvantage against many serious crafting Docs, but now after my hard work, I am on a level where I do compete with the big boys, because my shop offers a grand variety and quantity of stock. My reputation of a proud shop owner, brings me custom, not afk spamming in starports.

Bah again im to angry to focus and have waffled on too much that i lost my original point.

In a nutshell - up yours sony, I don't pay you my fees so you can take the money and not support, but infact break the game I once loved, but am rapidly becoming to loathe.
