so they:
1- made spices nearly useless
2- made panic shot nearly useless
3- left underworld useless
4- will make underworld TOTALLY useless removing loop macros (although I agree with the removal of those xcept for us smugglers)
5- will take out our only way of gaining decent $$$ by removing our vendors and making a hard cap on items in
what will be next ? remove last ditch or feign death ? limit the slices to 10% ? why not simply remove smuggler profession while they're at ?
I never thought I'd say that, but if the merchant thing is going to happen, I'll move my 3 accounts to WoW once it's out, plain and simple !
we're never gonna get our revamp...

This seems to be the nerve centre for all protetst though nearly every profession board and server board has a post screaming about the idiocy of this nerf(and it is a nerf if not a kick in the teeth!)
Two things worth noting however-
They have removed the original post announcing this change
But....!
It is live on test centre i believe(an TC players confirm this?)
This effects everyone TBH crafters will quit like theres no tommorrow if this goes live. I have an alt who is a master tailor no way i can keep my vendors stocked if this happens i have 400 items alone just on one bio vendor.
Sorry but this game would work far better if the dev team were monkeys. They at least could be trained to listen to us

Hey Hey we're the Monkeys!!(I know it ain't the real spelling of the song!)
Here we come, walkin'
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkies
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy playing
To put any content down.
We go wherever we want to,
do what we like to do
We don't have time to get coffee,
There's always NEVER ANYTHING new.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkies
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy playing
To put any content down.
We're just tryin' to be lazy,
Come and pay us so you can't play,
We're the young g'neration,
And we've got nothing to say.
Any time, Or anywhere,
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there
Hey, hey, we're the Monkies
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy playing

extra verse:
Hey, hey, we're the Monkies,
You never know where we'll be found.
so you should better get ready,
We may delete your posts if we don't like em, ban your character if you talk smack about our lapdog jedis, and laugh at you when we announce your broken professions won't be fixed for another yeeeeaaaaaarrrr.....
sorry for the rantings....the frustrations have hit an all time high!

Play City of heroes for teh win!
SOE Devs are terrible, know why? cuz they have tons and tons of money, its almost like they dont WANT any more, and feel like they can treat there customers like CRAP.
CoH's Devs are just amazing, pretty much every class works, the devs refuse to nerf professions to the point of usefullness, like this game. The game is all about fun, while SWG is all about work. If you want to invest your hard earned money elsewhere, and feel as if your getting something out of it, get city of heroes.
If you want, just go to cityofheroes.com, check out the dev tracker in general discussion... those devs actually listen to you, respond frequently also. Even the head honcho... in fact, he makes most of the posts!
Anyways, I used to be a smuggler... was a master smuggler for quite a long time, too. Played since the begining 
was a musician before the days of macro also 
All im saying is it really seemed to me that SOE was stealing my money, if your looking for a diffrent game, get COH.... you wont have to complain about this crap ever again

Oh brother, and what is the point to this change? I know quite a few people that can hardly keep their full vendors stocked within days and one of them only has efficiency 4 for the tent and 2 or 3 vendors and when he logs on 2 days later a couple of them are cleaned out empty. This is going to be much less fun for crafters, and if the reason for this is to shrink the database- that's bullcrap since the database will grow ANYWAYS.

forcetoaster, yeah, I agree, CoH is a fun game! Unfortunately, you have to note the utter lack in PvP. I think thats gonna get fixed with city of villians (correct me if I'm wrong, please), but running around shooting npcs day and night gets kinda old. On the up side, all the attacks work perfectly. And you can FLY!

I personally like the ideas behind pretty much all these changes. Item limit is low, but it is, after all, on Testfirst for a reason.
They need to clarify a few things as to what would get a vendor deleted and such, but the ideas behind it make merchant infinitely more valuable.
Not only will empty vendors get removed, but I no longer have to hit people over the head who grind up merchant, just to surrender it and keep their vendors.
