Well, i have played SWG for about 15 months total...but not so much after the CU..maybe once in awhile here and there. But my main point is right now is that I am not sure how the population is anymore...so i guess keep in mind i have more of a mind-set pre CU in CNET i guess for example i could say.
So there's all those /shout(ing) advertising people trying to tell poeple where to go for "cheap" meds or for weapons on "sale" and brand new armor locations...but all it really does is clutter up the spatial chat. Honestly..some have attracted me, but only through speech bubbles.
So i have thought up is that there be like a advertising/shouting/vendor house in the middle of large cities like Cnet for example. And my idea of this...the person would open up a terminal and pay the terminal (in the advertising/shouting/vender house) a fee to place their advertisements on the terminal. The advertisement would be chatagorized under certain things liek Weapons, Armor, Meds, Tools, etc....and then thats how people would look them up. Also, the player would b eble to place coordinates on their advertisement and relative information like the general location like *2000m W of Cnet* and maybe even people could look up certain advertisements in a certain seciton of a planet.
Then...in a perfect SWG world...that would elminate mostly all of the shouters and advertisers becaue then they would no longer really have a reason to shout in large player populated cities.
I know that you can use the Bazaar and etc to look up terminals and such and even has a map where it is...but i am just saying you could say a lot more from a terminal ya know?
Just an idea...

True, but why should people pay to have something people may or may not look at, when for free (ignoring online time), they can have something people have to make some effort to ignore?
