Make vendors unload, repair and stack guns.

DarXiDe:
that would really be a good update and im all looking forward to it.
i dont think its any good that you have "only" 49 secs to barter, with like 200 or more items on an npc which consists of no more than 15-20 types of items.
also, it would be easier to find ammo, even if higher prize from players, u wouldnt have to stand and shout all around the place for a long, wasted time until u can buy from somebody.

Yeah, the idea is not bad, but it has some potential ways to abuse it. How? It's simple - one could sell his/her almost fully deteriorated weapon (for some caps), and then... voila! It's magically repaired by merchant, and you can buy it back, fully repaired... It would somewhat more ruin in-game economics in my opinion.
I think stacking (and unloading of ammo) weapons of the same class and deterioration level would solve problem just fine. No need for repairing it.
Besides, if merchants could repair weapons/armors, what sense would be to use of Repair skill (other than dismantling weapons/armors, some gathering needs and gaining access to some professions)?

If you want more time to barter, invest some points in appropriate skill - it's simple solution, and available to anyone. You don't want to give points in Barter? Then you have to live with that. And with short barter timer - it's your choice.
Simple as that...

Buy back for much higher price.. don't see problem in this, actually it can make merchants earn some more money and the player would pay quite high price for this kind of repair.

1.) Find a stacked item.
2.) Drag it but don't specify the amount. Just leave the little window open.
3.) Timer runs out.
4.) ????
5.) Close little window and browse list with no time limit.
6.) OH, EXPLOITABLE >:D

You can't buy anything that way, but you can browse the whole list and at least get to know what's there to buy.

Cryofluid:
Indeed, I think there is a serious problem with merchants:

Yesterday we travelled to check ALL merchants of the map. It took us around 1 hour and a half.

At the end the report is tragic:
=> the only goods we manage to get back home was 15 ropes, 2 metal parts, a sniper rifle and we were looking for almost every useful stuff (raw materials for crafting, armours, pvp weapons, ammo...)

And indeed, many merchants have enormous lists of rippers essentially...

Perhaps something has to be done... again (I say again because I know developpers have tried a lot of systems to fix the economy)
