There has been a resurgence in debate recently concerning merchants and their vendors. Along with this there has also been some discussion over contraband being sold on vendors. So, please choose one of the following options (and if possible, don't add in other options, such as Smuggler Vendors®):
A.Contraband should not be sold on vendors; it’s illegal and as such should not be so easily available, nor as easily identifiable by the authorities.
B.Contraband should be able to be sold on vendors; this is a game and I want to be able to sell/buy stuff easily!
In my mind removing contraband from vendors would be a step towards actual Smuggling; Smugglers would be required to take spice to their customers and customers would be required to take their weapons/armour to Smugglers. This would create a greater sense of illegality and general Star Wars immersion in my opinion.
There would of course be draw backs to such a change; I guess it’s up to every individual to decide whether those drawbacks would be worth the extra immersion.
Get voting!

Zane what's with the jumping on this guy's posts all the time? I haven't see him post in anything but a calm manner and nothing personally attacking you in any way.You, howeverschizo-post all over him (and other's I've noticed) under the impression your some kind of infallable god. Either leave him alone or admit you want to sleep with him. Just stop hijacking every thread to satisify your petty needs. Act your age please (assuming your not 12).

I agree, and that would be the only way they'll ever get me to agree with A.
This was all discussed before when this poll was first started. We were asked to vote on the choices presented. While many, many people had ideas and options for an alternative to the cut and dry A and B, those 2 were the only ones we were presented with.

Sorry, no hard fast rules here for me. I still take the invisible 'option c'.

He isn't worth the time. I already got temp forumban for arguing with him, so you know he's either the one that runs off and reports people that don't agree with him or he has "friends" that do it for him.

You know he's right Zane, those two options stink. We cannot settle for those two options only, or else we'll end up with something half-arsed like the current slice system. Do you really want everything to be that bad? There needs to be an option C. Heck, if they made it so we had to get business 4 to get our shady contraband only contacts, then so be it. I'd rather thing stay as they are, but I can live with a change as long as it isn't cut-and-dried option A.

I would have to say A but....(there is always a but)......We would needa way to alleviate the mass amounts of sliced weapons and spice we have on vendors from taking space in our much needed inventory space and storage houses. I myself am a Master Weaponsmith and have 7 houses full of high level components for making my wares. I use slicing as an added feature.
There should be a way for us to have additional but hidden space for smuggler goods and/or tools, likehidden compartments in ships, houses, packs. Or make it so they dont subtract from inventory/household space. Is it possible to have a vendor for just smuggler items? One that the authorities would not be able to find? Something that isnt listed on the planetary map and the only way to find it would be to have a special waypoint sent to you from the smuggler that acts as a key? Just wondering. I seen in the "In Concept" notes lastnight where smuggled goods would no longer be able to be placed on vendors. I find I have mixed emotions about it and how ironic there is this thread. Thanks for reading.

A for me but with Beltrons idea about us putting vendors not seacherbles and not on overhead maps.
but (always a but some one metion before) that we can drop at players vendors for delivery (offer) only.
Don't recall the name but someone mention about people just going for food if spice get hard to find, that means people that do find the spice will be stronger always .
.No matter what people will always use spice even if hard to find.
And if you want check my reg. Date.
