Stop players with level Trader and above buying from the NPC

This is a very simple proposal. All players who rank at trader (or maybe small businessman) or above should not be able to buy from NPC unless there is no stock available from the free market :)

Maybe we could cap it to 3*NPC price to make things more stable :)

There are some points speaking against this (in my opinion):

If we change this and implement this proposal, tomorrow there will be the suggestion to have a NPC for fruit, as this would be the best solution, to push the prices for say apples ;-) Btw: I would like to have a NPC for TVs :lol:

There is another thread that it is too hard to become a manager here... it will become much harder if steel prices jump to a price 3 times higher than now.

And in my opinion steel producers can easily push prices: research and sell steel to the furniture, electronics and cars industry (did not look up now whether there are more industries which need steel). At the moment they can produce with q0 steel from the NPC, but later on the average quality will go up and then they need higher steel (I only now the production of wardrobes, and this is not a small amount of steel you need there).

The steel production is a branch like any other branch: you have to plan whether you can earn enough money by producing steel or maybe by producing another product from the mines/ factories. But this is a thing anybody has to do here... ;-)

:shock:

just think, your provision almost makes it impossible to finish the DEMO!

I ranked as Small Businessman before exiting the Demo. and if you really want to punish yourself that hard, you could try it yourself - say, about Manager level - where it will put a Serious Crimp in your Style - all you have to do is trash 2/3 of all materials you buy from LLC.

note; steel is about all i buy from LLC.
