(Appologies in advance, I'm currently on my phone but felt this needed to be posted asap! I'll add/edit soon)
The auction economy is not perfect. We all know that. The glich economy is still very young. This is both a blessing and a curse. This is why it is important that we plan ahead to ensure that future glitches can thrive all across Ur.
I'd like to see the auction gone, completely. In its place will be player owned vendor stalls.
Similar to homes, a player can only own one stall and they will be represented in market blocks like residential streets.
Stalls won't be bought but merely rented and other players can bid to take an occupied stall once the rental term is expired unless someone (current owner included) bids higher.
Once owned the player can setup their stall which is comprised of a number of upgradeable modules: Cashier, storage, variety, signage, (more?)
The starter stall will have a juju cashier, minimal storage, low quality sign and only sell 1 category of items (selectable)
The item categories should be similar to what the street vendors offer currently.
Stalls could be setup to buy certain items from customers and all prices can be modified by the owner.
In this model, highly sought after locations will cost a ton of currants, probably forcing numerous glitches to pool resources which should mean well stocked stalls. While less desireable locations will lease for a minimal price for players starting out.
(I have more but my battery is low)
Would love to hear your ideas too :)
