Pricing

[Willoria]

I'm sure no one wants new sections and that's why reg is all one thing now, but honestly I kind of miss the 'customs' section, for one reason. We have a couple things, namely weapons and poisons, that get priced out by mods but in some cases we can't know what we're looking at until we put it up and if we're completely off base we won't be able to afford it for that character after we find out its price.

So just an idea/request I suppose. Could the staff consider adding a section to Registration, or another drop down option, that is just called or for "pricing"? That way we can put up a request to price something ahead of time and put it in a mod later? We could even link back to it when we finally add it so that it's shown as proof for the price when we go to add it.

I support this. Let's people make weapons that they can buy later. But if weapons and such are anything like Ian's reign on weapons, the character purchasing the weapon might influence the price of the weapon overall (such as Onu's shuudoushi wanting an empathy crown vs some joe shmoe wanting an empathy crown). Still, I think the idea has merit for sure. Have a template like:

Character Weapon is for
Weapon Description
Misc.

Then a gmod or something comes in and discusses details of the weapon and prices it. It might be viewed as an extra step that isn't necessary, or just another thing to ignore alltogether like Customs was, or even just more work for our already small mod base.. But still, I think it could prove useful if it's put to use.

It would be interesting to have a list of what effects could cost, and tally the total on the effect you actually wish to have.


Making a list would do wonders, but also having weapons with stages or potential add-ons to buy at a later date could lead to plotboard adventures (treasure hunting for pieces, etc).

Oop, didn't even see this. Wish I had known about it sooner.

My issue with the customs section (and the reason that the registry was compressed into 2 sections), is that with more sections, becomes more splitting of the moderators attention, which usually causes sections to get overlooked. In the past, it was actually the companions section in addition to the customs section.

I'm actually really enjoying the innovation the members have shown in using this section for their customs/pricing, and I'm not entirely sure I disagree with them using this section for that...HOWEVER, this section is already underchecked, (which is why it took me so long to see it) so I wouldn't be surprised if creating a customs/pricing section would create the same issue. And then we end up producing something that people complain about because of an issue I foresaw (really annoying for me)

I'll discuss it and see what we can sort out.
