Someone pretty much locked out both VIP and Trading post farmers and jewelers. I was able to reset both farmers and the trading post jeweler at a loss, but I didn't have the gold/diamonds/iron to reset the VIP jewler.

Unless I'm specifically in the mood to be slumming over the trading post vendors, I usually use the VIP vendors. Can a staff reset him? I doubt anyone is going to use his remaining trades. That something we can ask for?

i think theyre planning on changing the villagers so theyre letting them lock out to minimize the use before the change. i may be wrong though

What @ardoasms said is true, that and the fact that the villagers are causing inflation of the server economy, I suggest you wait and get as many emeralds as you can so that if they put the villagers back on unlimited trades you will still be able to use the (possibly much higher) trades.
