I and many others have suggested a fix for this whole thing both recently and months back.

Why can't we place crates of items on our vendors and then buyers choose how many they wish to purchase at a visit, by some method of inputting the number in a form. N00bs can buy their 1 scout pistol or whatever, while someone looking for the perfect slice can come in and choose 10 or more. The vendor then spits out 1 or 10 items in a crate which players can pull as necessary from that crate.

The database space this would save on both the vendor and in the player inventory of buyers would be substantial. Restocking items would be fast and painless. This item limit (while still too low) would be almost bearable.

In fact if this could be done on crates then perhaps on resource stacks too? How many times have you seen 100K of some high SR colat iron on sale when all you need is like, 20K for those cleavers? I'm sure this applies to other professions.

The reason is, suggestions like these make sense and do away with the timesinks in the game (I've spent hours relisting unsold stock from stockroom every week for months when I could have been off having fun killing things). They prefer to nerf and break the game we have become used to. Sure the databse is f**ked but it's the fault of a crappy code that allows people with 0 mercahnt (or even artisan) skills to store 1000's of things on their vendor(s). Why tar us all with the same brush and make vendors even MORE of a chore than they already are? It seems the devs, from the decisions I've seen taken by this team the last month or so, are determined to drive players away in droves.

That is an awsome idea. You should post this in the merchant forum, if you havnt already.
