Ok, I own a shop in PA Mall, the first one next to the groundfloor entrance (shameless advertising) and sell the stuff that i craft, mostly level 1 or 2 tools, some weapons and clothers, aimed mostly at beginners...
In my opinion the main problem of the shops is the limited number of articles that you can place. Like, the limit for PA is 45 (and i realised that in order for other shopping malls to be competitive they should have a higher limit, no problem with that). I would like to see that limit rised for all shops, however, like, maybe 50% or even double it.
Why? Well, the main problems of the shop is laziness, i sell about 120 items a month (that is 4 items a day roughly)... to have my shop stocked (and bear in mind i'm selling items usually at +1ped or +2peds, under auction but still not so expensive) i have to go to my shop every day or two days, and this is a bit of a pain.
Yes, you might call me lazy at this point. Well, actually, i go to the bother of doing that, but i can see why other people would rather hunt than go and re-stock their shop, it does get boring after a while.
If there were more items, it would be easier to stock the shops, more of them would be stocked, more people would then feel like shopping was interesting (rather than going through empty shops) and the whole system would benefit.
Maybe something that the Mall owners could take up with
MA?. Like, it is in everybody's benefit in my idea, easy for
MA to change, etc....
