Go to the Merchant forum. Make yourselves heard. Post in every non-SOE forum you can find. Speak to the people in-game and encourage them to go to the Merchant forums.

i don't worry so much about underpricing as i do the overpricing.... maybe not from tailors as much, but from my resource guys.... which is a scary thought,,,,

but dont ya see, say your resource vendor jumps from 6 cpu to say 15 - 20 cpu ? thats a near 200 % mark up. then that inturn will increase how we sell our Clothing and armor.

Hey folks,
Selling stuff cheap is not going to get non-crafters on our side.
That will just make everyone happy with the nerf because they are getting cheap stuff. You do not want others happy we are suffering do you?
Just raise your pricesand make it so people start getting upset about it even though they have no vendor skills. If many of the main tailors on each server overprice their items it will have an effect even if you only raise prices a few percentage points over your current pricing. Tailor can only bennefit from such a change anyway.
If you sell out now you will only be hurting yourself and the rest of us later.
We must bond together and protest this even if it means going to theed and lagging out the server like the wookies once did to get their armor.
Sure, some will get temporarily banned. But what is the point of being a crafter and playing this game if we cannot easily sell our goods. I would rather go down fighting myself. Wouldn't you?
Anyone have a better Idea of how to get the devs to change their minds?

I'm not changing my pricing, I don't think I could cope with pulling 3000+ items off my vendor just to reprice them!
I've posted in the 'flame-free merchant protest' thread and a few others, trying to be as rational and level-headed as I can be with a killer headache. Now I am going to sit back, carry on playing as normal, and wait to see the re-written patch notes. The fact they were pulled from the In Live forum shows there is a very good chance of a rewrite which might make the player community happier. I don't see much point in posting the same angry message(s) over and over again until I see what happens next.

Ok, so say the resource market takes a big upswing and we have to pay a lot more for BE tissues and resources (assuming you do not mine them)
Now wouldn't you prefer the market not be flooded with super low priced master clothing so that you are actually able to raise your pricing. If people start selling stuff off now in bulk it will set a new low price in clothing and we will start getting accused of ripping people off when the time come that we must raise prices.
Tailors pricing and maybe armorsmith should be the only one to rise though from the vendor nerf as we will have the hardest time keeping vendors stocked. To avoid daily restocking we will have to raise prices or just let our vendors go empty.
I sell over 50 items a day and 100 on weekends. Our business is volume based afterall. if you want to geteven moderatly wealthyyou have to be well stocked. This nerf wil prevent that.
Well you do not have to do what I say, I hate telliong people what to do anyway.
I just saw people selling all their stuff off and thought it was a really bad idea. Feel free to ignore me.
