Merchant Archive

I say this as a BE with just enough credits to have a clunky terminal preventing him from making the character he wants.

Please, please devs, let merchants add people allowed to place items up for sale on their vendors. Just like every other facility in the game lets players do.

Then, allow merchants to take a fixed percentage of whatever the other player sells. Make it mandatory, so good hearted merchants don't let friends freeload the system. Say, minimum 15%.

This does nothing to hurt merchant abilities, and would probably enable them to behave - well, more merchant like. It does no good at all to add the aggrevation of clicking through inventories and tracking sales and manually calculating markups. I would gladly give a merchant 25% of my sales to not have to pay for a vendor of my own (in points). I do that now with a second vendor, but it is a huge, unnecessary pain in the ass to have to wait for them to put up the sale, and for them to track what was sold. They don't enjoy it either. This isa simple fix that will add much enjoyment to the game, for everyone.
