Never got the mall idea.
Its not like in the real world, where we look for malls because we know that there is a big variety of items we need there. We have the shop wizard just as handy, where we can save hundreds of nps when looking for the cheapest price available.
And if you say: "you're famous and many people go to your shop", then your profits depend on the rate of new people who pay 6k for codestone just because they don't know the wiz... you can do exactly the same thing in the trading post, just say that an item costs 10k while it costs only 2k and hope for some newbie to bid on it. same idea.
I agree. I know better than to shop in the 'neo-malls.'
I dont think I could join one either. Even if I made a profit, I wouldnt like doing it by taking advantage of mostly new players unfamiliar with the true value of items, or using the shop wizard.
