I made a common assumption that was unrelated to my actual response.

Okay back to the main point of this thread, If you want to take away a biz for making raw money or to much money, then you're pointing at every biz in era.......... Gun biz make a lot of money every week, and food/era hotel n ppa make "raw" money which Tim says is bad. So what is the plan about the other bizes?

Ok so.

Era Hotel:
The staff get paid for every room they rent, the rental fee isn't very high, there's a limited X amount of rooms to rent, and they can only be rented at a certain rate (X per day).
This was all balanced out pretty much, there isn't much a problem with Era Hotel other than that it's A. A monopoly and B. like 4 different themed levels.

Food Businessess (DH and DD):
The rate at which you stock is balanced with that of doing other jobs like shoveling and such. There are taxes on all the items, and there is also a spoilage rate on the products in stock, the profit margin for this is pretty darn crappy being that there are three food businesses. Honestly, Koho would be better off (Money Wise) mining in a few hours than a week of DH profits.

Gun Shops (GP and AM):
These require minerals which are mined and paid for, then you pay for the stocks. Add into this the fact there's two of them with identical items for sale, and the tax rates... they are fairly modest and balanced as far as profits go.

PT:
I don't even think people use explosives since they were nerfed, I don't even know who owns PT anymore.

Now the problems with these new Drink Shops (EC and GRC):
-Each one has monopolized products, making them separate entities.
-Both have a simple stocking process to that of Food Business, but the products sell for 3x to as much as 100x the price. (2$ donut, 200$ drink).
-The tax and spoilage system would have to be balanced for both.
-Two more businesses to monitor for GBA (Honestly, they can't even do that now).
-A bunch of other work and problems not needed by the new management and given current progress of Dev updates.
-----------------------------------
tl;dr: The other biz have been balanced and worked out through the years, making these new shops player run would add a boatload of problems and extra work for the fresh management that already has it's plate full. They're still recognizable as a progressive update, but they don't need to be tinkered or altered once established. -It's for the best.-

All other points were logical, however from owning GP I can say, as the owner of GP or AM you could do NO work and still make 15-30k a week in profit, depending on sales pretty easily.

No work does translate to hiring all those employees, monitoring them, making sure there are minerals; and that the miners mine and the stockers stock.
Gun businesses aren't as two-dimensional as the Food shops, you kinda have to login and do stuff, even though it doesn't translate to actual work.

Meh... plus your personal experience lies with you, Van, and Reece leading the business. Pretty optimal.

This is still pretty irrelevant (I'm overusing that word today) based on the topic of discussion, since gun shops are the non 'raw' production businesses. I was just outlining in detail why Reese should stop posting :3.

I totally agree with you guys there is no need for another cash cow on Era, giving a business to some person on era only adds another rich person to the list, that is all.

However, you cant just give someone a business and 2 days later take it away from him. ..

[hunterhunk]

The fact you got the biggest monopoly of a business (Maverick can tell you that from how much he made off of it) was extremely stupid on Alf's behalf... Then again, Alfonso made a lot of stupid decisions.

There was absolutely NO reason to make GRC a playerowned business again other than for Alf's "need" to give you a business.

I stand by Tim and Rogue on this one. In all honesty nobody should ever run GRC again, and it was honestly idiotic to give you GRC in the first place.

Buying drinks at GRC is useless tbh with the drinks you can buy with gelats...

I totally support Tim, and everything he's doing (so far). Every manager seem's to favor some players over others (Like Reese getting GRC, it was totally based on his app. Right?) Tim's objective is this terrible shape the economy is in, and although a lot of us just ask for a reset, we need to set up a stable layout before we can do anything like that, otherwise, we hit another economy problem. But, GRC has always produced too much money, and would never stay player owned, you have to of known that.
