Agree with this and @DKPuncherello’s views, see attached for my 2c

Shops in general and the economy- edited: new train of thought

The 2 points I’ve seen raised here are “I’m not selling” and “i cant buy”. Both of these (i think) come mainly from 2 places- the ability of any player to gather / make any item AND players being more willing to spend time doing so rather than coin .

I’ve previously pointed out that having more, predictable sources of income would incentivise me into spending more freely, as I could conceivably get coin from doing what i like to pay for what i rather wouldn’t be doing.

Since, I’ve seen many people stating that more content would solve this issue - and after much thought i have to agree it would help . Not saying its the holy grail the economy needs, but as items expand, so will the amount of time needed to be totally self sufficient (assuming this magical “content” includes items with wear & tear).

Combining the above two ideas, i think sustainable coin generation and an unreasonably large amount of items to craft / create / use will eventually mean thats it isnt feasible to DIY and go it all solo all the time, and after all thats what trade was made for (irl).
