So what's your plan to make this system not fail like the last time it was tried?
Giving players complete control over prices is a big mistake. If I recall correctly, the "small biz" system that we had once before allowed everyone to buy the same licenses, and eventually everyone sold the same things. Inevitably, owners kept trying to sell them for lower and lower than their competition. Eventually some idiot sold the items for a price which caused him to actually lose money, released a ****-load of guns for that price, and then ruined it for everyone else. The items were mass-released, under-priced, and now impossible for other businesses to sell.
Unless guns can break, or you keep guns to NPC shops, this system will never work out in the long-run. (or everyone will just end up selling ammo, and it will become a popularity contest to see who gets the customers) |
