This is not meant to flame anyone, just some thoughts and ideas on how to improve a prof.


The biggest problem I see with merchant is that there is no real incentive to keep it. Grind to master, place 6 vendors and drop, yet reap the benfiets the same as master. Only thing you really cant do is move vendors. I cant say drop Swordsman and still use it so why should it work for crafters, tobe able to save the pointsand use the skills.


So instead of nerfing the vendor limits to oblivionhow about improve Merchant so people can actually use it. Say a person Masters Merchant, let said person be able to place vendors for other people. Once placed the Merchant can not access the vendor but gets a % of all sales from the vendor. This way Merchants may actually want to keep the proffession and crafters get their vendors. Now if said Merchant decides to drop the proffession the crafter just hires a new Merchat to sponsortheir vendor and is all set once again.


Of course there would have to be caps on how many vendors a Merchant can sponsor and reasonable limits on vendor capacity,thisnerf is mainly to roll back storage on vendors to get around house limits.

I agree with no limitsbut I have to saytheres one of the best perks in the game in merchant as it is right now is the MONEY.....LOL I wouldnt be where i am right now and wouldnt have the things Ive bought if it wasnt for the Merchant profession.....and as for them whinning about people using the vendors for storage. where does SWG think Im going to put my stuff if they do this silly revamp....Fix the problem and get rid of the fake vendors and people just using the entrance fee to grind merchant XP, because thats lame.....I didnt have to use those tactics to grind it.....I put good mechandise on my vendors for good prices and let the people buy stuff and BOOM before I knew it i was master merchant!!!
