Does RID Trade & Commerce is healthly?

[Daiho]

Hey,

I visited the RID mall in Fort Oasis and I must say it looks dead. I know it's hard to find good traders but I think it's possible to make a great mall with a minimum of vendor.

For my self, I have a merchant tent on Corellia. Red Mon Cal Corp. - Droids & Vehicules.

I would like to make the trader division more active economically. A healthly city goes tru a good trader division.

What do you think about that?

Its been attempted so many times. You can practically give away money and resources and the traders just will not respond. Many of the traders in SWG are traders because they are fervently independent in their desire for wealth. The niche satisfies their strong capitalist side and they just don't see any reason why they should stop doing what they are currently doing if they business is good. And well, even if business is bad, traders still rather have their own shop, on their own terms.

I don't mean to discourage you. I tell you this so that you know you will have to work harder than anyone else has in the past, and from personal experience, I can say that people have put a lot of work into these attempts.

Yeah I understand but I'm not asking to drop all their selling point but they can put a vendor in the mall so it will get stronger.
