I don't understand - this is already how it works on P99. Vendor mining is already a thing -- I do it all the time for my faction-questing. The 'in-the-know' folks that do this for tradeskilling always leave 1-2 left of whatever item it is they need so that more can 'grow'. Sometimes I would even compel the vendor to kill themselves to reset their inventory and plant the 'seeds' of whatever I was trying to get on their first page... I call it vendor gardening.
