But yes, We need to allow others to sell whatever, because sometimes I need little Timmy to sell me iron, znd he doesn't have the time to farm them that often. Or sell me, Idk, green mushrooms that for some reason they are needed for everything. god, If a stall only sells crystal that is not even a line of material but I bet that it will have more profit than others.
So if little Timmy wants to only sell crystals, it's fine.
Please little Timmy, sell crystals, save the world.

This is where I think Little Timmy should be personally going out and selling on his own! I mean, jeez. I'll buy everything he offers me because he's just too cute to deny, but owning a whole stall is a little overboard don't you think?

not punishing players who don't really have the time or means to fill out an entire page, or whatever. Current staff intervention seems fine as is. No need to go more extreme.
I disagree with this... There's one stall in particular in the Sunrise Inn that I've had trouble filling, because as soon as it becomes available, some new player comes along and snags it just because they saw it was open - before they even figure out what they want to sell there. I've ahelped to remove two of them over the course of a few months, one of which sold a couple 2% salmon fillet (not a joke).
(Edit: I actually only ahelped about one, and I got his consent oocly beforehand. The other willingly moved after I asked him why he had nothing to sell.)
It's understandable that not everyone has the time or energy to spend stocking stalls, but if you don't, then why don't you just work together with other people to run one if you aren't enough to keep one stocked yourself? And for the love of all that's holy, could people stop grabbing available stalls before they even have anything to sell? I feel evil having to seek out those characters after a week or longer of no stock and asking them to get something to sell or vacate the premises, but I'm just doing what I have to, especially when my students could be selling their own crafts there instead.
Not necessarily something that requires admin intervention, of course, but people should think about whether they're taking up space that could go to more productive characters when they buy a stall just for the sake of owning one... It's just player etiquette.

No, i don't think so bc little Timmy just wants to rp and allow their things to get bought without the need to go city by city to then find that people don't need their things at that specific moment, don't you think that that will disencourage little Timmy?

No, I don't think that.
I think if you believe the person selling raw materials doesn't deserve a stall while you do, there's something silly going on.
I love love love love when I find a stall selling raw materials because that means I don't have to farm!

Funnily enough, I have prepared my stall and stocked it up pretty well, but still, advertisement and good armors are just not attractive enough, 50k feels wasted now. TvT

But Little Timmy's options at RP are opened so much more when he's able to slyly include, "Oh hey, by the way... I have some spare ingredients on me that I don't need. Maybe... You do?"
Sly Little Timmy makes for great RP, don't you think so? I'm feeling more encouraged already.

1.- It's a game.
2.- Sometimes people are struggling to play the game, rp, farm reagents and it takes them more time to refill their shop, and it's not fair to push them because they don't have 10+ or more hours to get online to spend it farming and then restock rapidly their shops.
3.-Everybody has their own time.
Of course, this doesn't excuse people that neglect their shops for 2 or more weeks, which is not the case most of the time.
Yes! I pointed out that there are a few there that restock occasionally, but a surprising amount of those actually don't from what I've seen as- I'm a regular market goer. To name a few, Goods and Chattels, Unknown Building, Aries' Eats, General Store (well, I see their stock change so maybe? But it's always low.), Imagine's Items, Joyous Wares, Almost Alchemist Barbara, Aencient Alchemy, and New Cheap Ratty Deals!
Mind you, I'm not considering adding 1-3 items every few days as a restock. I see these shops consistently low on supplies or having items unpriced/overpriced in that they will practically never sell.
To add to this, there are a few completely new shops that people bought and aren't even really using after the newest update!
While yes, it's a game, and yes everyone has their own time and others are struggling, you can't tell me every single one of these fall into the category of irl problems. Yes, some of them are, and it's completely understandable. But many of them also, are not, and are just people using them because they want a stall even though they only have trash to sell. Like, c'mon. There's even two new shops that opened up under the same name, so clearly there's a group working together- and their stock still leaves a lot to be desired!
I literally made Aencient Alchemy yesterday and stocked it with what I had on hand with prices I literally picked out of a hat because I didn't have time to run around and check every shop in the game, it literally *cannot* have had 'frequent problems' because it just came into existence.
It's low because I noticed it open after having either used, sold, or gifted most of my potions to people in recent days.
People have lives outside of running a fictional IG Economy and a shop being 'full' doesn't mean it's good.

Can i say my stall is one the best stalls that stay stocked and with amazing things to buy.
