im sorry but it is nobodys fault but your own that your traders are shallow and have no substance. If you chose to make trading as boring as possible you have only yourself to blame for your displeasure.
Well, stating that "it's your fault that you have bad roleplay as a trader" in situation, when player is forced to have a trading character, doesn't help either. Not everyone finds it pleasant to play as a trader, especially if you are ought to do so.
I wouldn't be mad about it, if people actually wanted to hire Freelancers and pay them even that million for escort - or authority players would be paid a weekly wage.
