Shops Game Rework

i wanted this in tengaged, but here i feel everything is decently priced for how easy it is to get coins here!

My only concern is about the bids . Many people will probably bid high to open a shop , which means that in order to make their money back, they’ll sell at higher prices so they can still have profit and some benefit from it.

WHEWWWWW

Have you considered a two tiered shop system? You could have a public shop game and a private shop game, with different rules for both. The public shops could have a minimum posting price based on the economy (to avoid gifting for 1 coin), more stock and an incentive of competition. Then the private shops could be strictly for gifting, but you have limited stock (maybe 10-12?) and you don’t move on from those. You bid on both. Obviously not perfect but maybe something to keep in mind! sin

Definitely is more fair for all 😍

Love this.

loves it!

Coke It wasn't touched on in this post, but the other concern was not having enough designs for sale (and having days where the shops are completely empty). We do want players to have the option to 1 coin gift, whilst still having a reasonable amount of stock available for the public. It's a puzzle for sure, but we're open to suggestions!

Yessss love this. #blackbutta coming back

If that is the goal, I think this is a really smart change. I guess I’m just worried with this change there will actually be *less* public stock for users to buy if the cost of shops are going to be lowered as well. If they don’t have to post as much to make their money back, the rest can be used on themselves and their friends (not necessarily a bad thing, just a thought). TBH, that would be a fair trade off for the current system since ultimately it’ll make the economy (or, the amount each coin is worth) a bit better for all. :) sin

Coke It's hard to say whether shop owners will make a profit if they allocate some of their stocks to gifting. Ideally, posting all of your stock for the public at a fair price should allow you to earn slightly above breaking even, enough to make a rewarding profit for making good sales. It's hard to predict how the game will react to these changes, hence we're hoping to trial run it for a few rounds before revisiting it.

Interesting. What do you hope that the prices of designs goes down to then? Realistically I think this would only benefit the shop owners to post enough to make a profit, then the other half of their stock goes towards gifts for themselves and their friends.
