This is horrible. Merchants already have tons of gold, some in the hundreds of millions yet they hardly ever enter a map. I think the profits of your success is more than enough reard for standing around all day. You do no need AP that benefit ONLY merchants. They are the people that have the most yet play the actual game the least. They should not be given something that would so obviously set them apart from everyone else when there is no way that someone is the #1 player by doing these things. The #1 player is someone who puts time and effort into pvp and elites and tombs and is a better **gamer** than everyone else. Not by any means should someone be rewarded in rank for being the best business in an rpg.
