I just made a change that will make Elite and Boss NPC's aggro players of the Trader class. Not sure yet when it will hit live servers but at the latest, the next publish.

So we will be insta incapped and killed the second we come close to the DWB?  At least can you make it so when we click on the terminal (ones to get by doors) or any of the loot bins will cause us to get aggro?

I think the Developers have taken too much away from the Trader profession without giving anything back.

So I guess that in order to craft anything in the DWB, traders just need to go along and get rezzed all the time?  One hit insta death sure will make it fun for them.

I'm glad that people farming the bins in the DWB get to ruin it for everyone else.  Why couldn't they make it that clicking on the bins gave them the aggro status like it does when attacking something.

So random elite NPC wandering on various planets like Dath will kill us when we are trying to do our harvestors? Gee thanks.

Does this mean that we will get combat abilities in Pub 28 like the entertainers so we can at least defend ourselves?

Yep, you'll need to rez your trader well over 100 times per DWB run, since they'll be instakilled constantly.

Uh...could you give us us up to CL90 and some basic combat abilities along with it?

NO!

Traders have no combat skills, no health, no nothing for defense. This is a bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad idea.

This is ridiculous. No combat abilitites and CL 1 is fine with no aggro. But adding in aggro with no combat abilities is ridiculous. You keep talking about balance, but so far Traders keep having things taken away but nothing given in exchange. That is not balance.

Hence, my suggestion that they GET those. They're loosening restrictions on armor, giving CL and combat abilities to Entertainers; why not take this opportunity to open the door for Traders?

Maybe the people who think it is a good thing will reconsider when jetpack prices go skyrocketing to a few hundred mill
