Remove the trader profession

[___________Totalcarb]

This is friggin' stupid. 1.5 years after the game has been playing and you want to delete whole proffs. STUPID.

If your gonna do that then just delete the whole game.

Who is next? Their will always be whiners, so someone head will always be on the chopping block, becasue of them.

Well, seeing as how the orignial poster is a trader, I believe his post was in the spirit of sarcasim.

I beileve the first 2 posts were sarcastic, but then people start to agree.

You think Funcom knows the difrence between sarcasm and people griping just to gripe?

Besides, the 50% crit chance hurt these guys plenty on the offense, I've seen alot of them go Manex now

im not sure that cudus was being sarcastic at all, in fact i think he was pretty serious.
everyone who plays a trader other than a lvl 74 pvp twink is just sick of getting nerfed and even more of the steady whining and crying for more nerfs. without making the profession basically worthless (massively increase in nanoresist/resist rates) so that drains dont stick at all and you can just kill a trader with a few shots and no thinking involved, people will whine.
i guess some posts only on this thread gave you a little taste..
and yes, if i could keep level and tokens, i would gladly choose another profession for my trader ( im serious ).

Engies need prey, Traders need a feared predator.

Make engineers full-out, 99% guaranteed to win trader killers --- the trader Nemesis.

Some silly little drain resist bonus won't work --- you need to grant the engies total domination in a 1v1. Follow the same mindset as the proposed changes for other prof vs prof in NW.

* "Production line uprising" -- sure hit nuke, which wipes pre-drains and the ability to drain for 30 seconds
* "Where's my tradeskill buffs, <female canine>?" -- reflects roots back at trader
* "Here's for all those costly wrangles" -- reflect drains back at trader
* "I made this!" -- enhances bot with immunity to calm/root/etc for 45 seconds and instawarps it to targeted trader.

Just imagine the celebration when "Imagimp" suddenly appears on the battlefield and spanks "Nerfmeeeeeeeeeee" with ease... (names are pure fiction)

This would complete the circle, and bring equilibrium

ps: yes, it's a jest.. but you know it should be done, and it would be sweeeet

Have to agree with Bull on this. It is so funny there is even any debate. If you are so disgruntled that you are willing to have a class totally deleted then just delete the game, play something else or cancel your subscription. There are other MMORPGs out there and they ALL have their individual strengths and weaknesses.

No one is 100 percent happy with this game...I'd settle with just being 25 percent happy...oh wait...I think I already have.

It's always fascinating to me to see this type of comment. First, it's obvious that the author is not the owner's kid and has zero interest in the ongoing fortunes of the game.

Look here:

You will see that the Trader population has always been low, relatively speaking, and has also always been relatively stable. There should be a message right there.

Go ahead and delete the class.

Bump for this trader too. Delete traders give me my levels, items and tokens for a reroll

[CheeseNips]

delete all traders plz, kthxbye~

Funcom pre-patch:

We've decided that Traders are overpowered, and will be removed from the game. All current traders will be allowed to choose a new profession, and have all IP returned to them.

After Patch:

In a slight error, all former traders were transformed into Engineers, and all IP's and skill points were set to zero. We hope to have this fixed in the next expansion, coming out next year. Pay us more money suckers !!!

I really hope you all aren't serious. Of course, FC would never do this... I think you're just trying to make a point. And I'm sure the vast majority of traders out there wouldn't like having their characters deleted.

We notice it, but don't take a suggestion for deleting a profession very serious. I guess that's why one of the moderators moved it to the Social forum too.

Why move it to social? Cause noone reads it and it will be forgotten? Are you dissing your own Forums Cz?
And I agree, traders are evil babyeaters and need to be dealt with!
