1st you have to spend a ton of money to make a cool looking merchant
2nd If you are rarely on it and you put things in the cs with it people cant negotiate a price by sending you a message
3rd Whats the difference they both talk the same and can list things in the cs

Tell me why having a merch character is good or better than a normal character
Well..

1. I think that is fun.
2. I think that is an advantage.
3. I personally find it difficult selling to friends without giving them an awesome deal. I can be a little more of a negotiator if I hide behind my alt . I'm trying to rip people off or anything.

To elaborate on #2. I hate when I'm running and someone pms me about buying my gear. I don't answer and they get mad. Or, I don't want to sell to them for the price they want to pay and they call me a nub.

Also, I don't mind people not knowing what I'm buying and selling.
