I've played black desert online a lot more than the average person. I'm use to the game having certain features. Despite that, I know this idea might be met with some criticism. I'm also not keeping current with dev notes if they already have something planned for trading, making this idea pointless, so under the assumption they don't have anything better planned here is the idea.

I've been thinking about this idea for trading lifeskill awhile. Its something I think that pearl abyss would benefit from in their pearl shop, and it wouldn't completely gut the current trade system that many of us have come to enjoy (trade crates ofc not active trading).

So the idea is this. I'd like pearl abyss to keep the current trade crate system intact. They don't need to change any of that. They should also revert the old trading system back with the active trading system. Just boost the cost of the trade goods back to current silver per hour values. Back in the day doing 20mil silver an hour on a peridot wagon was on par with grind spots. 

-> The big change to trading I suggest: They should implement an option for players to create buy/sell shops. A stand of sorts. Could sell cosmetics for the stands like the wagon mounts (pearl abyss $$). Now I know what you're thinking (RMT NOOO!). However, the stands wouldn't be able to sell/buy gear. It'd be for the junk items. Anyone got 10million red sauce they dont want to sell manually on marketplace? Some flowers from gathering? Some copper ore? Perhaps you want to buy/sell those in large quantities? Thats what the trade stands would be for. The weight and slots of the stands could be based on trade level. Perhaps a tax could be included and deducted from each sale on the stand. You could set your own prices. Undercut or overcut marketplace. Have saved items in the stand you want to buy/sell for next time. Could even implement something later where you could hire a worker to run the stand as you go do something else in-game. Trading mastery could reduce tax from the stand if they wanted to take that route (for calpheon town if setup in calpheon where a guild owns the castle and sets a tax and we get taxed in our trade stands, for example), it could increase slots, weight limit, etc. Lots of possibilities to play with, and it'd be on par with what "trading" is, you know? 

I personally think this trading lifeskill idea would be a good fit for black desert online. We have ppl afking on horses and fishing in every town. We already got bartering for active trading in the seas now. We don't really need another active afk lifeskill. We don't really need to change trading, just build upon it, tweak it a bit, and add this idea. Besides, coming into town and checking out some player shops sounds pretty cool.
