Proposal
At the box where a vendor can be dressed by the merchant, they should be able to let an ID (via /consent or something) do an ID on the vendor.
Justification
Why should people have to delete and recreate a vendor 200 times to try to get the look they want? If they can dress them, they should be able to ID them. Plus, it's extra work for the IDer as well. Gives both professions something extra.
Motivation
My wife hates her vendors, even though she got master merchant which seems to be the single longest profession to get in this game. She can dress them, she should be able to have 'em look the way she wants.
Vendors should be able to be image designed by master image designers. This one is a request from the wife, but I happen to agree with it (and not just because she's the wife haha). It gives the ID something else to do besides just players, and I'm told that merchants have had to delete and recreate a vendor 200 times or so, in order to get one that is even close to what they want it to look like. They can already be dressed if high enough in merchant, at the same level (box) they can be dressed, they should be able to have an ID come design them.
 
Wonder if we could do something with the Master Merchant box here. Allow an M ID over to do touch-ups. Not species changes, as that's handled in the Merchant hiring line.

Perhaps some sort of access feature if in Group together?
All part of an overarching plan to bring merchant into the game a bit more.
But it would be amazing if ID could design NPCs for merchants. For more than just vendors even.
