Server Suggestion Stock Market

[Mr_Lumberton]

Suggestion Title: Stock Market
Suggestion Description: An app within the phone which allows players to purchase shares or fractional shares of businesses, or index funds. These businesses can include the bank, the car dealer or player-made organisations themselves. Events will affect the stock price: bank getting robbed, org leader getting killed, org making new rivals/allies, org selling more items.

Why should this be added?:
- Allows for another passive way to make money within the game, even whilst players are offline.

What negatives could this have?:
- Some players may invest millions into a business and then be inactive for years and come back to even more money in the bank.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: If player-owned organisations can sell their own stocks, it can lead to more interesting rp situations. Players can use market manipulation to make money whilst killing a rival org leader.

Spoiler: Me omw to short squeeze CUM stock because someone blew up bazaar.

I can't see this working. If you want to invest, it should be buying or crafting when prices are low due to tax, and selling high, when bazaar is full of casinos and baseball bat merchants. Passive income, especially passive income when offline, is really silly, and makes no sense for the game mode. Also, stock prices are driven by the market, not by some arbitrary thing like "oh the org leader got killed a few times therefore stock price go down" I can't see how making a stock market, and then not even making it a player driven market makes any sense.

Too complex to implement and balance properly for little gameplay improvement.
