I will continue to use those who offer me a fair price. As for Gorge, how come
he gets away with botting fires that can regen his ep?

day and never idle more than 30s

Coding a system so that one side can artificially
enforce prices is IMO silly. Even in medieval times
there was a black market that did not adhere to the
prices and regulations from the merchant guilds. The
same is true on bat, there are (and IMO should be)
rogue merchants.
I also find it a bit silly that a player made website
is being quoted as some kind of official dead-set policy
on how merchants should behave and charge for their fees.
Sure, you can follow them, but remember that such websites
are not official rules on Bat, and the administration will
do nothing to enforce them.
In any case, this conversation might be more appropriate
in the merchant guild group?

Silly or not, it is the only thing that makes the guild worth playing.
Yes, at one time Merchant was playable without artificial pricing, but since
it has been tuned to hell.
Then reincbies a few days in the guild think they can cut prices (see the
moronic DPC) and the guild is just tuned again.
Unlike every other guild, merchants get no exp or eq for their efforts, and
once enough morons reinc in (and they always do) without controlls pretty soon
all prices drop to cost, and there will be no money made either.
Great.
Reincbies reinc back out and the real merchants are left with crap.
Screw this, I'm a kitty on vacation until this bs gets sorted out.
