I really like the idea of they making the world more alive with adding random NPC and the Sea Post. Being maxed level, I have more then enough gold and everything I want to buy cosmetic wise (I know I am not the only one). So why would we stop at these post just for a discount on items I don't want? So this got me thinking of a couple of ideas to make the Sea Post more worth while to stop at.
-
Make unique items that are rare to the post. New cloths, weapons, ships customization that can only be found at the sea post that are rare.
-
Have some of the sea post randomly become an disguised enemy that want to kill you. Once you talk to them they start attacking you, you can defeat the threat he drops some rare item you turn it in.

I know they are going to tie in these Sea Post to the new deliver quest. But I would like to see it where you become friendly with the NPC by buying stuff from them. After say 4 purchases you have a chance to after you buy from him/her again they say, "Hey bud, can you do me a solid and take this crate of X to Y?" Doing this will give you 2x the gold because he will cut you in the profits more for being friendly to him/her.
-
Now that there are NPC in the world, not all are going to be good people. So add it where these Sea Post vendors get robbed and they recruit you to track down the NPC that robbed them and bring back their goods.
Who knows they could already be planning some of these features. I just don't want these new awesome features to be just static items in a game that needs more life.
