The 'shop' idea is a quick way to eliminate price competition on the Market Board. I don't think it's a good idea.

A horrendous idea, you can't give the means to produce more to just a small sector of the population, also, players shops are stuff that works in a sandbox but not in a theme park if you ask me.

You can already have player shops by just using shout chat and trading goods for gil. Automating it just detracts from the whole thing.

It would be nice to have but not really practical.
In 1.x, we had wards.
1. Lag fest.
2. Impossible to search for anything until they added the search functionality.
3. How many shops do you think they can put in 1 zone? 10? 20? That's super exclusive. People are going to bitch about it worse than housing.
