I'm about the most biased person one could as to answer this question, but here it goes. I hate merchants. Hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em. But it's not blind, irrational rage- I hate them for plenty of valid reasons. To explain, recently I was getting my herblore up, therefore spending a lot of time in World 2, "buying unids above ranarr". I spent hours upon hours... Watching my deals slip away to merchants. Well, that's fine; I figured. They have just as much a right to buy those unids as I. But what really got me ticked... Merchant - "Get off my turf, I buy unids here." Me - "This is supposed to be a common place to buy unids, and I need as quick xp as possible." Merchant - "Oh you're a skiller? Want to be unids?" Me - "That's why I'm here. So how many do you have?" Merchant - "20k" Me - "Wow! That's a lot of unids. How much each?" Merchant - "3k Each." Me - "That's kinda pricey. And I am buying from these other people for 2,000 each. Why do you deserve more money than them?" Merchant - "It's not my fault these noobs don't know prices." At this point I've removed him, and decided to keep buying from the commoners. But I've drawn a few things from this experience. a. Merchants believe as a whole they're entitled to sell at a greater price than those who work for their items- and therefore refuse to sell for the NORMAL price. b. Merchants enjoy offering .1K more per unid, because they can afford it- right? I would too if I was still making 700GP+ off of every unid. c. Merchants are OBNOXIOUS. Besides the fact they are frugal (actually NOT a gross over-generalization. They profit from being frugal), they will refuse to sell to anyone who offers a cent less than their selling price- even though that price is still ridiculously high. Say what you'd like- but these are not generalizations. Even so, generalizations form for a reason- they're true (or have at least a ring of truth). Well that's my 2 cents.
