Boat vendors will be back in 2.3.2

Good news for the folks who enjoyed visiting the vendors on the boats and zepplins after patch 2.3-- they'll be back in patch 2.3.2.Nethaera (who, it seems to me, we haven't seen on the forums in a while-- she must be busy with holiday shopping) confirms that the vendors skipped out only temporarily, and that they'll be back before you know. And no, we literally don't know when that is, but I do believe that 2.3.2 is on the PTR right now, and patch 2.4 will be the Sunwell, so it'll be before the Sunwell and after the holidays.
Now if Blizzard could only figure out a way to fit a couple of vendors on the griffons and windriders, we'd be all set-- those flights can get pretty boring, too.

Hmm, I didn't really missed them. Can't say they where that usefull. Only time I used them was when I came looking for them, other times I just visit an other vendor to be honest.

I think it makes the boats more believable, having an actual crew, more than the usefulness of vendors.

I think it would be better if the boat vendors offered something nobody else did, some fish recipe or something related. Maybe super discounts on fishing lures. I'd be more likely to seek them out when boarding than I was after the novelty wore off.

Absolutely. I'd like to see some more unique recipes/patterns/etc. on vendors in places like this.

Could they do repairs? Either way, they saved me a lot of time, hopping from SM to Org, I don't have to stop at a vendor on the way to the flight master to go to Dustwallow, I could sell stuff when I would usually be sitting at the top.

As long as they can repair and sell reagents.

I liked the boat vendors, and just the fact of having a crew. I made plenty of jokes about Ghosts boats and zeppelins when they were uncrewed.
I don't know if I want them to have special goods or anything, it's hard enough waiting for the limited supply items in the real world, or going to places like Moonglade for when you need to learn the things they have there.

I noticed that boat in Ferelas between the coast and... what was it? Feathermoon Stronghold (?) was crew less.

Now that the boat/zepplin rides are shorter, I almost don't have time to go find them, look through what they have and buy something before I'm at the end of the ride.
