Usually halfway through the dungeon people start throwing away crappy white drops just to make space. A merchant npc in there would help a lot
Put Merchant NPCs in Every Dungeon Level

Just a thought, why not put merchant npcs in every dungeon's level?

We always seems to have no more room in our inventories. Good idea.

Well, that depends, some might say it's a part of the challenge.
I don't know about that, but i agree it's really needed in the long dungeons.
Say, add a merchant to Frostmaw's 3rd level...

Some also carry more than one set of armor
I do however agree here and that it's a choise what you take and how much free space you leave

Well...as much as I personally have asked this very same thing, we have to consider the 'Bot' factor.
There are no other players around to report any bots...and you KNOW they would abuse that.

I find I rarely have troubles with inventory space unless it is a really long dungeon like Frostmaw's or even the Underworld. If you prepare right for a dungeon, you should have more than enough slots open for all the drops, you just need to use Storage for everything you won't need.
However, it would be handy for areas like Frostmaw's and the Underworld where you can go a very long time without finding a Merchant. I'm just glad that the Fissure has a Merchant with the Forgemaster...

The drawfs dug those dungeons, so it makes sense alot of them died in there too. Put those ghosts to work standing next to res shrines.

This has been a "problem" that has been around for ages (Tombs runs, UW trips, etc). But really, it would just help create more gold influx into the game unncessaryily. Inflation = bad.

Maybe put one merchant per dungeon around halfway through. That way you get one chance to merch before continuing. If you miss it and fill up, too bad.

I think you people forgot Anet said they didn't want people hoarding so much, so you either drop it or you salvage it. You weren't meant to be able to take every item of loot home. That's pretty realistic as well. /unsigned make em make decisions and stop making things so easy for them.

As far as the merchants, normally that may be true, but in the case of Guild Wars, perhaps they touched the appropriate dungeon icon on their maps and magically warped there like we do to outposts and towns :-)

Thanks for all the replies guys
After reading your posts, the 2 main points people who disagree with the idea posted are:
1. That merchants in dungeons do not make sense
2. Bots would take advantage of said merchants
Well for reason number 1, I just thought that since there are collectors inside dungeons as well, adding merchants would be all right. And as other people have posted, "logic" does not really play a big part in guild wars. We have ghosts selling stuff in the realm of torment areas
Collectors in the middle of deserts etc.
As for the second reason, hmmm... How about they place the merchant npc somewhere in the middle levels of the dungeon? That way the bots would not abuse said merchant since it would take quite a while to get there, not to mention the number of enemies he has to go through. Putting the merchants in the middle level/s of the dungeons also makes sense to me since that is usually the time people start to have inventory problems
Again, thanks for everyone's inputs.

something I liked about diablo 2 was the scroll of town portal. This way you could sell all your crap and go back to where you left off. And while I am pretty sure anet cant or will not add this in, something similar would be nice. Maybe a "enemy" that if you do a short quest like bring me this item or kill so and so, and hes a merchant after that.
example
Gospee Dracer (charr)
"What do you want puny human? I dont have time to kill you right now. I have enough problems. Maybe you could help me. Go and kill Rac Erx, and bring me his head. Do this and I will help you unload your unwanted good."

The scroll idea allthough interesting would be quickly exploited, can anyone say DP gone?

Make instance based where if you use a scroll it doesnt clear.

We've all seen this doesnt work 100% with reconnections. At the minute the system only seems to record that information when you disconnect accidently. Imagine if it was doing it constantly on the fly everytime 1000s of players used town portals to move back and forth (assumption).
Scrolls of town portals work better in games like WoW where the entire game is one instance and you're not having to record 1000s of unique instances for each player when they move.
I could be wrong mind, but if it did work it would get exploited. Imagine doing a really hard mission or dungeon in HM and you're at -60dp or you find you need a different build or weapon.
Pull out the scroll of town portal, go to an outpost and change your entire build and remove any dp and then return to where you were.
Besides that would be a far more complicated update then just adding a few drawf'n ghost merchants to dungeons on each level.
