Just a few merchant guild suggestions for consideration by the powers that be:

1.For those merchants that have completed the entire belt quest, in addition
to the new rank which is granted, could we have <name> is a Master Merchant
added to our "finger"? This is not unlike what you see in several other
guilds.
2.Any wizard feedback on my earlier proposal for additions to the insider
trading skill? (Make the skill give the ability to identify who is selling
lots of materials on the exchange.)
3.Status of a Merchant Council? Would be nice if something rudimentary could
be done in the near future.
4.Another suggestion for insider trading: Have the commissions paid on the
two exchanges be based on your insider trading skill. Have non-guild members
pay additional on top of this (except alchemists who would pay at the 0% skill
rate).

Just some ideas.
