    It would be cool if someday there were a few locations in the world where you could visit an NPC trading company where you could pay a fee to, after some amount of time passes, receive a letter showing the best prices available for a specific item from player vendors in the region, or maybe even the world. This would make the game economy a little more competitive and practical, but in a way that doesn't smash immersion like just being able to open a virtual shopping mall out of nowhere.

    If something like this existed, people in nested POTs or remote areas could attract people with good deals instead of needing to advertise on a forum. More people would buy crafted items from other players, knowing that what they are looking for exists, as opposed to not knowing and spending hours running from town to town, vendor to vendor, to maybe or maybe not find what they want.

    I think even something very limited like this would make a big difference.

    We need some kind of player created resource that tracks prices. This would help merchants when setting prices and it would help keep buyers from overpaying.
