i know at least 4 people on flurry that will quit with no questions asked.... as soon as nerf hits....they tell me they will quit cause the game will cease to be a fun game....it will just be real work that you don't get paid for....restocking vendors everyday is real work...and if you don't do it...you lose customers....thats like telling me... a combatant...if i don't play EVERY day that i will lose xp....opps i should not have said that...maybe the devs will do it....becuase they have no clue what people want. We want to have fun DEVS...not work...its a frekkin game. geezs

I know about 4 accounts that would be canceled because of this.
Sounds like alot of people are going to be canceling their account or leaving the crafting/merchant professions. Perhaps the DEVs want this to happen?
Maybe they are going to eventually make it where vendors won't function unless the merchant/owner is online and on the same planet as the vendor? Heck, Merchants are AFK and making money, maybe the DEVs want to get rid of the Offline/AFKness of the Merchant Profession.
Maybe the DEVs want to make Merchant the only profession that sells items? If this was true then the item limits will only let Merchants resell for maybe a half a crafter.

I have 2 accounts and my sister has 1 account if this nerf goes live we will cancell all accounts. We are currently researching other online games none will be affiliated with SONY ONLINE or LUCAS ARTS. I feel if they can do this to this game then they are probably nerfing other games to heck and back also. So why spend time playing a game and get to really enjoy it then watch it get washed down the tubes. Only a small percentage of actual players actually post on the forums a lot may read them but not all post. SOE has listened to the small percentage of players that post to run this game in the dirt. Too many things need to be fixed first before the giant nerf bat is used again why fix what works instead they need to focus on things that don't work. Just my 2 cents worth.

There's already a thread about this. It's about 4 pages long now. Just scroll down and you will see it. I've posted my 2 accounts there as well. I'm out. So long. Cya.

I've heard most crafters in the mall am in now will throw the towel in if this goes through, about 9 not including alts. Guess it wouldnt be a mall after that.

I'm already out. Canceled last night.
Remember, you can cancel your account and still play until the sub runs out. Hit them where they'll REALLY notice. Not here, where they don't even look.

This isn't constructive. Rather than be part of the problem, why not propose solutions. The devs aren't totally unreasonable. They have on many occasions in the past compromised on matters that the player community felt strongly about.

I have idely threatened to leave before , over things that , in time I have learnt to accept.
But my entire life in this game, and it is a life , is based around crafitng and selling good.
I pride myself in makin gthe best items, using the best resources, I am proud of my shop, and its vast selction of goods.
I have no desire to fight stuff, I have done that in plenty of other games for many years.
I cant not offer my customers the level of service and selection in my shop if the proposed changes go ahead, 500 items per vendor, Id try to live with, 1000 per vendor I'd accept.
Anything less and I have no doubt i will quit my 2nd and 3rd accounts immediately, only there for merchant and harvest lots, which in turn help me run my shop
Left with my last account, I might amble about to see a few things I havent yet, like DWB and GEO Caves, but as a Doc/CH i doubt i could kill anything before it killled me.
So im left to change my template so that I can do something new. I found my niche, Crafting and selling!! I dont want to grind up a combat skill for a few weeks just to have some cocky jedi come along and 'steal' my kill anyway!!
People hark on about specialising my products , what crap that is. I want to offer a one-stop-shop. I want to craft all the items my Master Doc allows me , and i want to sell them all, in various quantities. etc etc
God how bored I would become rattling out Stim Bs all day everyday. No longer having the challenge to find resources and get the best density to mine on before others do.
Can u imagine how bored a tailor will become, if the are forced to specialise. Sorry i only make chefs hats, thats it.
Its the Variety of crafting that makes crafting such a large part, and by many the favorite part of this game.
Without it I would not enjoy the game, why craft the greatest stims, if u dont have the capacity to sell them?
I AM DEFINATELY HEADING TO THAT DOOR WITH THE EXIT SIGN ON IT, WITHOUT BLINKING.

I am only 1 account, but I am (for the first time) considering why I spend $15 a month to babysit venders. I love crafting, but there is only so much of it I can do before I have created too much and have to sit around waiting for it to get sold. Oh and BTW, you think prices for items are high now, wait until things become scarce because people don't have room on their venders.
