I'm actually glad to hear this :p
The first thing I want to say is that no matter what fee or cost that is tacked onto the vendor, it will only hurt the honest people. The only true way to fix this is by removing the vendor mall all together. Now before I need to hand out tissues, lets keep in mind that including the mentioned reason in this topic, the current vendor mall is actually bad for a server that has pvp.
Well, I would say that we can have vendors work like the good old days, slap them in a empty house or on your steps. This spreads out the vendors quite a bit and causes a need to advertise them. That isn't necessarily a bad thing as it causes people to camp gates and vendors or even follow people through gates, really its just a plus for any sort of pvp, even if its lame ganking.
Another option, which has my vote, is that we take a select part of a town (or town we aren't using) and make it unguarded. For instance, we could unguard the eastern half of Britain and allow maybe a third of the building there to have vendors. This would spread them out a bit but not too much as to where players wouldn't bother checking them. Meanwhile the eastern half of brit is practically its own little town, it has a bank and shops so it could easily inspire regular activity/pvp.
I am totally against any suggestions that will penalize those honest traders who actually stimulate this economy just because one or two kids wanted to abuse the newbiness of a safe vendor. Safe zones are for newbs anyway.
