HATOLA's third suggestion

[HATOLA]

IGN: HATOLA (Shopkeeper account. .HeadHatola)
DATE: 14/2/2022
WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION: I want to suggest lowering the shopkeepers' taxes again from 20% to 10% again + removing the items limit per shop
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?: I understand why the taxes got raised up. However, I believe that it's really unfair toward the shopkeepers because of this reason: Our restocks doesn't make sense that I have to pay 20% for taxes and then pay to restock 4x from what I'm getting in a normal shift, I understand that most of the shops are supposed to get a lot of money but in the end it doesn't end up like that. Convenience stores get 1 million yen in a shift and have to pay only 10%, but me as a player have to pay 20%. Because of that I have to lower how much my employees are paid and /or raise up the prices of everything which hurts the players around the server in both of the ways. I believe removing how much shopkeepers have to pay for smartphones will be good as well because like. . .I have no profit on it and on the other way, it's too much expensive for players..

I also understand why there's a limit for how many items every shop can open, but there're other ways because if I won't be able to add any items without removing I'll have to remove items that I can to sell for a low price, for new players or just players without money and it won't be fair. The ways for right now I thought about:

• Give a cooldown how per time shopkeepers can restocking(for example every 2-3 weeks)
• Give a minimum/maximum amount of items for a restock
• Just raise how many items every dhop can sell(40 isnlt a lot)

I agree with the lowering tax part, the 20% tax seemed like a good idea at the time, but it seems like too high of an increase. I'd say if other stores are going to have any heightened tax at all, it should be at most 15%.

For the restocks being limited, I personally don't agree. I find myself having to restock at least weekly, this is mostly due to bulk sales. My shop is filled with cheap food, so limiting the amount that can be sold severely impacts my profits. For example, if someone buys just 5 of an item in my shop I'll barely make 1,000 yen most likely. The real sales, at least in the type of shop I have, come from people buying a lot of one item. (Most people do). To not restock so commonly, I'd have to limit the amount sold (which I do plan to set a reasonable limit soon, but that definitely won't lower my restock time), which could mean barely making any money.

I believe that Mike made the items limit (40 items per shop) because of the restocks. . .I'll be happy to hear if you have other ideas.

Maybe putting a limit on how many items you can get in a single restock

Give a minimum/maximum amount of items for a restock

I don't feel like typing out a paragraph so I will keep it short

I agree with them having a tax but it shouldn't be so high
Remove the item limit and just cap how many items you can request per restock

While my shop isn't that affected by the 20% cut, I do think it affects the smaller shops honestly

Though, the item cap does sort of make sense in my opinion, it could be made larger.

REVIEWED

• The shop item limit will not change at the moment as most of the items we spawn in are unable to be stacked which will lead to shops having a very big storage room and unorganized stock, thought 40 items seems more than enough for each shop as of for now.​
• The smartphone price within the shipment has been lowered down by 5,000​
• Everything else will remain the way they are as in for now.​
