Vendors are on guide faction that you get the gear from, yes there's a guide faction. Without being Guide/GM flagged, which grants you the faction, you can't buy anything from them. Asherah, or any other NPC in the zone, won't hit you if you're not flagged. How do you think they do the buffing on people who aren't flagged? Besides, with the files in your EQ directory, you most likely would be able to go to cshome. In short, you wouldn't be able to do anything except piss SoE CS off the second you flagged your account for zoning in.
