vending near npc

[The Legendary Joe]

i am sure they're moved once, then jailed for revending next to the npc, however i think it should be a much harsher punishment than just jailing them. move them once or twice, but then ban them, temporarily perhaps, but still it seems way too out of hand, almost as if it is intentional.

Hmm Wouldn't warping a Autotrading merchant close the shop and thus log it out? Sure you could move merchants with Moonlight watermill, but that's been proven illegal in the past...

Most vendors I think would not even stop to think about where they set up their shop, and just remake it right on the spot they log in at don't see a shop on their tile already. if only there was a way to Financially punish these autotraders, that might teach them to set up next to a crooked NPC =x but I'd have no Idea how we'd script that...
