market building for receiving npc traders

[gravesmerch]

since non-token trading is dead for most of the worlds life time (and normal players need trading to access an ever growing invisible content barrier)

let us build a market building that will receive occasional NPC caravan of traders (DF inspired) requesting random item types you can match to increase your offer value

they will bring stuff plus low q inaccessible content for the average hermit:
- items from world pools and wild weeds
- treeseeds, sands, clays, water barrels
- low q troll skins, mamoth skull, whale meat, etc
- low q black ore, bloodstone...

would be a great alternative to community markets that either die fast or runs to the bottom of token trading, coin devaluation or just trolling offers without public tools

Such a system would probably require manual input from a game master.
Whatever the requirements for getting a visit from the NPC might be, some players would fulfill them hundreds of times to exploit them.

Why would game provide a way to circumvent it’s mechanics?

[gravesmerch]

haven content keeps growing along with invisible barriers, but players time keep shrinking

trading is the only option for normal players access content, but regular trading turned into a cash cow running to the bottom of empty trolling markets

cheap markets may or not exist for very short time as a larp, but usually have the same fate as public wells

NPC trading doesn't need to offer high quality, just access to mechanics that already are trade locked for normal players with a life
