I don't really consider loot to be an issue at the moment, but I find that the current systems of trading are prohibitive toward ideal RP due to everyone spamming out trade requests in lieu of anything else really interesting in notice boards. All for gear that people probably have and would sell if it wasn't a pain finding the people who needed it at the time you felt like doing it.
Merchant RP is pretty great, but the lack of automated merchants is kinda hurting the overall experience when it comes to the small things and leads people to believe that they must personally get every item drop they need themselves or else never see it. It's not a great system with how this game works.
Dumb idea, but maybe make it so automated merchant asago items let you set up your own character as a temporary automated merchant? That way you could have merchants actually walk around and trade without having to go through a lot of clunky menus. I feel like a lot of our issues would be solved if people could trade easier. The items *are* out there, and a bit of extra scarcity isn't a bad thing.
Or a new Korvara specific item like the Ragnarok Online merchant cart that gives you extra storage, sale capability similar to automated merchant, but it can't be taken into any dungeons?
