Using Vendors for Storage.

[mrshad]

There is no problem here.

Who *exactly* does 'storing' mats on the vendors hurt?

If I decided to offer a whole bunch of mats to whatever player wanted to pay an exorbant fee, would I be somehow cheating?

If I later decided to remove those mats from the vendor...how is that cheating?

The fact that player sales can be accessed from any vendor is a game mechanic that makes everything more convienent.

A fair solution would be to make items avalable only on the merchant in the city where they were sold. That would make the game more realistic, wouldn't it?

But I am sure there would be endless whinning about that, so perhaps it is better not to start down that path at all.

Like I said in another post, the people screaming bloody murder are the ones who didn't think about doing it before hand or ones that want to be seen as heroes on the forums or ingame...
