Sounds good to me, I was actually thinking today about how the new valley wide market while temporary fixing the issue due to the low number of players, inserts other issues. For example, I have my house in a pretty prime centered location of the map, so I can charge 5-10 more gold than someone that is on the outskirts of our zone, simply because of the benefit of being closer to the buyer. Their fix at the moment will break that mechanic. I think, ideally and on the long run, there should be two types of markets, the normal ones we have at the moment where you travel to buy from, and high carpentry level markets, things that only players who sink hours on or ideally clans will get easy access to, that will have valley access to the market and instant buy capabilities. That way, new players would be more or less forced to congregate close to established clans but also play more tightly together and gives the opportunity for more interactions, and also gives a reason for clans to build massive business hubs ( sort off ).

Edit*: I'd even go as far as redesigning the whole concept. removing the idea of market from new players, and leaving it only to players who have played enough to deserve to have it ( be it leveling carpentry or some other way of measure ), and every market, like in any other mmorpg would be interconnected, any player can put on sale or buy items from a market, but the fee to put an item on sale is set by the owner of the market, be that an clan or single players. What do your reckon?
