I think I have an idea that'll give everyone money

In real life, stores gain profit by gaining popularity. What I propose is that people(merchants) can set up a big shop in a section of FM. They will have to pay rent to keep the place in the FM every week. HOWEVER, the place does not stay up by the rent alone. The person must get enough popularity points to keep their shop. Popularity points are gained when someone buys something from your shop. How this affects us non-merchants: Due to the popularity points, a merchant will have to price their items closer to their original price to keep people buying from their shop. Of course small things will also be included, like the max time a shop can be kept in fm and such... I think this would be lovely for me

No. How will we make insane profits from selling our crap in FM1?

Dislike. Too much of a hassle to understand/get used to. I'm not just saying that to down your thread, I personally would be annoyed to not being able to keep my FM spot/having to price things fairly. You make your money through people's desperation & insecurity of pricing, I would hate to be equal with people & not make the money I WANT to make. Regardless, I think it's a decent idea, I personally don't like it.

People will also take advantage of this idea by filling up the shops with mules so the merches can't sell anything and be forced to give up the spot
