Two New Businesses

But it's the GBA's job to govern them - the livelihood of businesses, and in my opinion, the economy, falls on him.

I guess that does make Era pretty unique, yeah. But we're also the only server that could really support one.

Zod has every single item they have available(i believe?) be droppable from one of the monsters
UN? Yeah they have nothing close to the ability to have businesses, unless they made hat machines

and..with so many other things effecting the economy, it's not fair to drop the whole of economic responsibility on the GBA

Also..they should just be business admins now. I don't think they do anything gang related anymore, because of the new system being all automated

It doesn't hurt to have player businesses, but they should be more well thought out. And if we follow through with Alf's idea, I think you guys will be pleased, as it brings the best of both worlds.

I agree that biz shouldn't be player ran unless there is competition; however my biggest peave with current businesses is that... there are 2 admins associated with that department and nothing has been done to it. They don't even auction the businesses off anymore, they generally just hand them down to the next person in line, so it just sticks in a group of friends.

I also really hate that they made Era Hotel player ran (it used to be controlled by staff) now some random guy (idk the past 3 owners were random players I've never seen) gets cash for every 2 seconds one of their employees take to type an account name into a text box.

I don't see how more businesses = more jobs is sound logic either (@OP). There are plenty of different jobs, and all the business jobs are relatively the same with the same pay (which are monotonous in nature and generally pay less than you would make not working for a business). Would be more of a problem to hand these out and not change anything than to keep it as-is.
*Plus that requires staff to do stuff, 'nuff said.
