Merchanting takes skill. A rich merchant does his homework. He surveys the financial situation and assesses it. Merchanting is not just about clicking, like all skills do. It's about knowing where to get a discount on an item, where is the item likely to raise in price. There is even a risk of losing your money in a bad investment. I don't like merchanting, nor do i hate it. It's a perfect way of earning money. Honestly, I'd rather merchants than those pesky bots you see surrounding the yew trees everyday. If not for merchants, who'd bring you sharks when you're dying in edgeville? Who'd get your items in bulk? By the way, there is not a thing as 'merchanters' its merchants. Cheers.
