Traders

With these cooldowns traders aren't even needed.

If they restocked faster, the same players would camp them over and over again to get the goodies. If they restocked more, the same players would buy everything with single haul. I remember past wipes when combat armors used to spawn only in shops and there were dedicated barter alts patrolling the shops every restock hour and taking everything useful. It was annoying.

Current traders are pretty nice but only because there's not that many players. For example Raiders base is good place to get easy superstims, caps and high tier sg but only because there's no other players. Wtf, what kind of trading suffers from lots of customers?

I would prefer an auction where players set what they want and other players provide. Npcs are idiots, they WANT to buy broken fnfals, greaseguns or 5mm ap ammo for good price for infinite ammounts and then nobody buys it. Npcs should want what players want.

Perhaps in town traders should have chance for more decent stuff like better guns, armor, drugs, etc but only if it would be appropriate. Son of Bob isn't going to be selling BAs next to his selection of high quality kebabs. Also I would like to see the traveling merchants have more than 1 or 2 caps on them. Most of the survival guides recommend staying out of town as much as possible when you are a noob and being able to trade your stuff at a traveling merchant, perhaps not for caps, to get basic gear like leather armor, 10mm pistol, and knifes. Just stuff that the noobs need and most experience players wouldn't bother to kill for.

That's devs job we players don't have any exact numbers of how many drugs spawn in all traders over x time or any kinda of precise information , so it's kinda impossible to calculate some actual numbers.

So what's the problem with secure Modoc for time long enough to gather there meat and process it to meat jerky? Same with chemical components. And even I have medic alt that can craft drugs.

However pwning n00bz in BH is more fun, I guess :>

Sheisserick:
You are forgetting an important aspect of the game:
Player traders!

I believe the developers would prefer, people to have to interact with each other, over getting all items at a NPC shop.
If you boost NPC stocks to carry alot of high tier equipment / drugs, you also kill off the livelihood of the (few) players that actually find player-to-player trading to be the main aspect of the game.

Add auctionhouse to the current functions of the FLC banks.
Example:
1.) Sheisse places his X buffout for sale there, set time and min price. Pays a fee equivalent to 10% of min price wanted.
2.) Wichura then goes to bank and places 20k for the buffout.
3.) Josh then places 25k and wins as the time expires. Picks up his buffout!
4.) Sheisse picks up his 25k next time he enters the bank
5.) Wichura can collect his 20k again, as he didnt win. 
Of course all branches should show all available auctions.
