I always liked those styles of traders playing Epoch, Kuplion. I've also played a server recently using a trader resembling what dekela was talking about. Might even be theirs, considering that post was back in November. Also, the MarXet on the server I currently am playing works well enough now. The percentage based fees were either removed from the feature or turned off server side, not sure. It would be really nice to see it improved though. Being able to sort item types and search for specific items would be well received. Showing the listed price of the items that you post in addition to the "0" showing you can get it back for nothing. Being able to search by price would be nice too. What would REALLY be the best option for the Exile mod in it of itself would be a combination and expansion of the current trader system and all the above mentioned that server owners could choose from. There were also randomly spawned traders on an Epoch server I played awhile back that were kind of cool. They functioned in the same way as the old Epoch traders mentioned above, only they weren't "protected". They could be killed by players or AI allowing a new one to spawn next server restart. Though, many players abused the crap out of this system to get the "perfect" positioning for their own convenience. I kind of like the idea of the mobile traders as well, like a moving caravan or something that might stop at certain positions for a given length of time along its route, or that may slow and stop for a time when within player proximity.
Anyway, just my two cents...
