Clarification: Player Shops Can be Placed ANYWHERE in the World?

I believe that I am completely on board with the current design.

If we assume the columns on the 'table' are correct, it is that really, the player themselves is 'the shop' which is what I'm used to.

You access a UI related to the player, they have prices set on items in their inventory, you may buy those items directly out of their inventory.

Player must be online. In fact, to me, this is a 'downgrade' from my FFXI experience where I just put items in my 'personal character Bazaar' and people can buy them off me literally no matter what I'm doing as long as they can see me and I stay in range such that they can /check me, and this is a base feature of any character's existence.

Referring only to the Personal Shops system here, as I can still absolutely see meaningful benefits to Player Stalls. (I would assume that since your own Freehold is a safe zone, it's basically the same as the Bazaar thing if you are online and standing just inside your own 'front gate' for example, once you have the certificate for it.

Maybe we can get better shops on our Freeholds, something inbetween, if we ask for it.

Can't hurt to ask, and the level of 'scope creep' involved would, I figure, be relatively small.

Not sure if that helps your goals at all though @Tyranthraxus

An actual mini-stall set up at whatever location would be interesting, but it WOULD generally just be cosmetic, which, honestly, I figure would make it fine, if people couldn't abuse it to make areas look completely ridiculous. Maybe you need to find some flat ground or something, at least.

You couldn't place a shop on L2's city roads.

Here's at 15:40 you can see that the road is clear, while everything else is full with shops.
