I suggest a VIP system for traders to reward their very best customers.
I'm pretty sure it's Jenn that has voice line suggesting you are becoming her best customer or some such.
Max supported players is 8, so lets have each trader have a sign board in their poi with ranking of their top 8 players calculated by a combination of sales/purchases/missions done for that trader, ands it's a daily thing, so recalculated when the trader opens.
Top player gets an bonus of discount/rewards, maybe the next 2 highest on the board get minor bonus of discounts/rewards.
Perhaps its simply an extra loot option in mission rewards or better loot quality in vendor/rewards the trader offers the player.

And in single player?  You always get the discounts because you're always the best?  Also keep in mind that most people play co-op, so you'd just ask the top player to buy something instead of buying it yourself.  Besides, prices are already reasonable.  People usually have stacks and stacks of dukes laying around because they have nothing to spend them on.  Lowering prices just makes that worse.

Didn't say it had to be dukes based...
And I'm sure they could come up with someway to make the system fun for single players or just not have it all for single player.
They said they want to make it more story based/interactive so here's a way to implement some npc interactions even if it's trivial.
We have wandering traders that buy from machines behind the scenes, they could randomly roll the dice and have behind the scenes npcs filling the boards that you compete with.

 
The exact text is Employee of the Month (do this job and).  At most this would be your picture on the wall.  She never mentioned anything about discounts or higher pay   😉

Actually, there is a second line that mentions a 10% discount, IIRC.  Pretty sure it was from her, though possible another trader.

I still see no reason to add this.  As I mentioned, if you aren't doing PVP, you just send whoever has the highest rank to buy stuff, making it so it's always helping you no matter who is first.  And considering the person who is first is likely the person who'd already be running around, this wouldn't even be an issue to have that person be the sole purchaser.  I'd be fine with having a top player list based on something - quests completed, stuff sold, etc. - that you can see and compete with each other for but I don't think it should have any reward.  I think offering some special reward like this would be best suited for a mod, most specifically because it isn't going to work for 1 player and not too well for 2-3 players and you still have the issue I mentioned above for 4-8 players.
