Like I said, whether if my character has to be actively online or not is trivial.
The bigger problem is actually requiring the playable character, because you can't do both adventuring and being a bazaar at the same time. They are mutually exclusive activities.*

i get what you are saying but again I would like to point out that I believe if they considered this they should make the MB and PS two different entities. MB should be what you use when you are online and playing, PS should be used when you are out in the world with some items in your inventory and you have to go afk anyway so you try to sell them to clear up some space. Or you setup a cheap store when youd normally be @ work...etc. This would solve 'sacrificing play hours'.
