One of the ways to improve playability during this period of reduced player base would be to extend the hours of the order shops. Folks who play at odd hours (mornings for example) are at a distinct disadvantage.

Just a thought.

why not hire extra help for the shops..... basically you get say 8 hr shop for x 16 hr shop <second person working slightly more expenses> for 2.5x and all out 24 hr shop for 4x <third employee plus expenses>

I don't think a change should cost the Traders--right now, they are doing the right thing--they are paying to be open during the time they are most likely to see a sale. When I was in the Market Plaza entry trying find an open shop, no one came by--I was the only potential customer for some time. I'm not sure that makes sense for the trader.

The change I was looking for was to change the formula so that when a trader pairs for a shop, it is open until they stop meeting their rent obligation.

They may realize a few more sales, and those of us who play during the less populated hours are well served.

Easy Peasy.

I wish they'd push people being more active in their shops and receiving more perks for being so.

Train? Why? I'll get there eventually...

If I had a shop with a forge in it I might not ever leave. Except to get materials.
