I would love to see this implemented more than anyone but it would definitely need to be run/supervised by an admin to prevent abuse and money farming.
That's true, and that's why the market is going to have to rely on Random Step theory for it to function, there can however be additional variables that can affect the trend of a stock, such as participating in a war (triggering functions that cause the stock to become more volatile on a day to day basis).
In addition abuse is a concern as well, that's why there is only a limited amount of people that will have access to the database, it's not like a clan/organization has direct control over their stock price and can change it or positively affect prices at will. They will be randomly generated daily, to an extent, with a market cap in place to prevent the worth of all stocks to surpass what can be payed back.
I've talked to Mavis about coding it and he's interested but I know he really wants it to be server run by admins and directly linked in-game. I'm sure it's possible and all but I don't see something like this to be manageable by staff at this time, let alone all the testing that would need to be done first to prevent possible exploits that could arise from directly linking it to in-game.
