Even if we remove shops there would still be people that are rich as hell, and probably a place just like warp shops. However, it would be pvp enabled, wouldn’t be able to be camped at, not very much lag, and it could be raidable… Some people would probably build near a warp for quick access, but without warp shop player owned shops would at least be useful again, because let’s face it, alamost everyone uses warp shops. Oh and there would be more and more shops in towns.

I also think that having to buy these shops is just set up to make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Most likely if you can afford a shop on Main Street, you also are selling valuable products. If you were to buy a shop at other warps, you wouldn’t get much business even though they’re cheaper.

I know there are others that agree or at least think this is a cool idea, I’d like to see your opinions too.
