I have no clue what an automatic trade post would be, but it already sounds cool!
Big thumbs up for a fixed roster (?) of team members, it's awful to have them change place due to accidental drops / disconnects etc. For instance I'm using keys F1-F8 for team members. Usually the tank is #1, and F1 easily reachable. If he has to re-join, having him as #7 or so sucks.
The idea of gardens and domestic animals plays nicely along with Arfur's idea of a Herder occupation. I can think of herds belonging to a city, which if properly taken care of would then produce materials for all citizens. Maybe require people to donate small amounts of water/tools in order to boost herd numbers and/or materials quality, and get some faction points (!). Maybe set up the grazing spot in pvp areas, and then traitors from other nations could come slay the animals, with interested citizens having to defend them.
Excellent ideas, overall.
