So.. why exactly?

To be perfectly honest I didn't even know there were vendors on the boats or zeppelins until I read this.

Prolly an exploit of somekind.

Care to tell us the reason?

You'd think they'd post that regardless...

What was wrong with those vendors? At least replace them with some other NPC's

They don't know the reason why they did it, simple as that

Ah why? They were really helpful for leveling (in my case my alt warrior), every time i jumped on a ship it was repair, buy new food, and on my way...

Will they be put back on again when fixed? (if they were bugged...)

Probably.. don't see any other reason..

considering they constantly zone, i would guess they had some limited stock that kept getting refreshed each time they zoned maybe, wild guess

my bet is they were doing so good in their business the other shopkeepers lobby'd them out quickly.

but really this sucks, they were the most excellent idea since giving ProM a bell sound.
a quick repair while waiting for the trip to start and empty bags when stepping ashore again rules.

Aww crap, I found those vendors very useful while leveling up this rogue, its great to be able to restock food and vendor the crap from your bags when moving from quest zone to another. Shame really.

I would guess a problem may occurr if you are buying or selling items / repairing when the boat zones, the state of the characters may not be preserved correctly when zoning. e.g you might choose to buy something, the gold is taken but you zone and don't get item, etc.

Possibly a fix would to give them a limited time frame to sell stuff, and a minute before zoning or when the boat leaves the dock they stop selling stuff to ensure there are no state problems.

Q u o t e:
The vendors on the Boats and Zeppelins throughout Azeroth have run out stock and shut up shop, they are no longer able to service you with their wares.

We will never get the answer why

Have you not noticed the pattern?

How many suggestions on the suggestion forum have actually ever been answered? Im not asking for an answer to all of them but even out of all the lame ideas there is 1 good one. But no ignorance is bliss at blizz

They come on say this has now stopped working - Deal with it.

Oh yeah, i also guess that this might have causen some angry people when they realize that "buyback" doesnt work after zoning.

Why did you do this? I loved to stock up in the zeppelin when I went to kara and such :(

Could we get alittle information as to why this was done? It was an excellent idea, one I utterly applauded. Including the introduction of NPC's on ships in general.
