I'm not going to be making fundamental changes based on allegedly hard rules partly formulated in future screenshotted sentences between two people I don't know in a discord channel I've never seen. Hope you feel that's reasonable. Adventure zoners turning their loot into cash is an important gameplay loop and a key feature, I need more pushback than that before I cut it entirely.

Aloe is a dev (amouranth name), and that screenshot was taken in #imcoder, if you've never seen that channel before, nobody to blame but yourself, here's the message link: https://discord.com/channels/18224996089...5676076064

Any mechanical change has player behavior inherently inside of its scope because players are the one who will be the ones using and affected by game mechanics. Not to mention mechanical differences heavily influence how players behave.

The player behaviour issues are theoretical. No one has used or abused these mechanics because they're not even fully written yet. The arguments about balance and player behaviour issues in this thread are not based in reality, and I mean that in the most literal sense. These are imagined problems and they are not helpful.

The player issues are theoretical, yes, but when many, many people who've been playing here upwards of a year are saying "players will do X because Y", it's time to start considering it.
