Because Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies, Gold Keys, Event Coins, Xmas Tokens, Enchant Armor Scrolls, Improve Weapon Damage Scrolls, and Nihil Coins clearly aren't alternative forms of currency, and it's obvious that we need more.

It's called a shop vendor.

Except that they're used in recipes for yarn. Would be nice if we had more of them around, though.

300kg / 4500kg max = 7% of your total weight capacity. And let's not forget that you can apparently buy formerly illegitimate 'weightless' bags now for about 1,000 NC.
Also, if you're doing
serious shopping, then weight and speed should hardly be a concern. It's not exactly the Olympic 100m dash, and mostly involves one or two people idling in shops for half an hour until they decide to pop in and out of the front door to reset the shop.
