The wearied merchant has been reverted back to his original code. We may change him again in the future as we assess the data we obtained by his change in April 2015 but for now, he's back as you remember him. Please note: I used his original code and I did not test it. If there are errors please let me know. It was a down and dirty cut and paste job to revert him. :)
