"Man I really wish I had 2 cents right now."

I don’t think I need to explain that this is more than just my 2 cents mate.
Every complaint I’ve seen and acknowledged about this update were from individuals who
were part of the problem the update was trying (And succeeding to a noticeable degree) to resolve. Devoting your entire organisation to taking control of the business sector and is not productive for the server or enjoyable for people trying to get into it.
It’s obtrusive and only makes the passive RP scene worse. Bazaar shops are the most profitable form of PassiveRP, they also come with added rules protection disallowing people to rob you there, despite the profit capable from a max crafting level business rivalling that of a 4 plantered slums apartment when the cards are set right.
You and everyone else who runs these shops all have their maxed out crafting skills yet you persist in devoting every aspect of you and your several active player org as if you’re still on that grind. An opportunity to put someone else in that position is far more beneficial than allowing 4% of the users online to take control of several shops, to sell and do the same thing, fly the same org banner, and cooperate with one another, as if they’re one big supermarket. We do in fact have properties that can accommodate for such a large shop, such as puffer mart, city office, Morons shipping Co. And more.
The screenshot is not you “Adapting to the update” at all, its you guys making a mess to prove a point that to most of us simply isn’t there.
Maybe when bazaar is reformed on V6 this can change. Bazaar, just like almost all of Paralake in general was
not designed to accommodate for an 128 player server. These limitations are striking from not just this angle, but with apartments and houses too. New players are skipping out on affordable properties like slums and instead are being forced into larger options to grow alone with nothing to defend themselves except for 3 pianos and a Baseball bat. It is a solution being patched slowly but surely, it makes sense that business properties be the first to become more available than prioritise criminal activity.
Tl;dr: The “Problem” with this update addressed in this thread
was the reason it got implemented to begin with.
