Merchant Flag

Me and couple of the other guys on ventrillo last night were brainstorming ideas and we came up with an idea to have some kind of merchant flag that could be issued too very good roleplayers who could roleplay (Sellers, Shops, Merchants) very well. The benefit of this flag if owned could maybe give a potential discount on shipments (5-10%) and maybe a reduced adverting fee of $30. The overall benefit of this will introduce more roleplay as these merchants can sell at competitive prices and it will tempt people into actually interacting with merchants opposed too (I need medkits BRB gotta go medic). I did think of two possible objections too this though, one being certain people who poses this flag will make money easier (Could be a reward of good roleplaying) and the other objection being it requires maintenance e.g. looking for good people etc.

Anyway that’s my idea, any constructive criticism is welcome.

Re: Merchant Flag

It seems like a good idea if these long term sellers got everything for cheaper, yet sold at regular stock pricers, them makig money but still keeping guns to a minimal

Very good idea, I highly support this. No one ever goes into my shops these days to buy merchandise cause they will just buy it them selves. But, if you needed a merchant flag it would be much better. And to be honest, the server is not ready to be called "semi-serious" in my opinion. Wouldn't this be easy to do/code? I mean it looks like the same as giving donator status. And yes, it should be earned by not donating but being able to role-play and sell merchandise, a application perhaps?

Re: Merchant Flag

This would be a good idea except for the fact that then these people would get discounted weapons etc.. For example 10% off of a deagle shipment would be $80,000

Who said it would have to be 10% for everything? Shepsie said 5-10%.

For expensive weapons like Deagles, the cost reduction could be 2.5%, providing a fair reduction of $20,000.

Re: Merchant Flag

Yeah different price reduction % for different items would work.
