Trying to say you're going off market value is a legit lie now.

You are confused as to the meaning of this phrase. It is not market value as in the item's value on the Market Board, it is market value relative to the prices charged by other venues of our caliber in our locale, (in this case datacenter).

Not going to lie, you are starting to sound like some of the owners off of Kitchen Nightmares and I don't mean one of the lovable ones that actually gets it.

Look, I am not going to justify what are ultimately business decisions based on actual market research (not research on the market board mind you) to the unrestrained gaze of the otherwise untrained public. I went to RP business school here people. And yet, your replies continue to seethe with undue judgement and derision, I mean, just look at the usage of "robbery", and the jokes being made at my expense-- when many of you forget your place, and the active role you take in a consumerist economy.

In my mind, it's simple, go to another venue.

Yeah this makes you seem like a troll who found out he could make easy money for his raiding fc by selling to an rp market that isn't very big on their datacenter.

Note I don't rp and do raid. Your posts just come off as such.

"Business decisions" - I don't get it. Accepting tips for a lovely venue or a good night's RP is one thing, but I honestly don't get charging for what amounts to invisible, unreal RP food. I myself run a bakery/patisserie venue on Balmung and wouldn't dream of charging people for the invisible food. It's a lot of work, sure, and it took a lot of gil to set the place up just right, but I couldn't even begin to do so. I barely accept people tipping me of their own free will when they've enjoyed themselves.

I hope when Data Centre travel's up, people from Primal and Aether can stop by Crystal and maybe non-charging ones can become the norm.

Still have yet to hear what makes your venue/services worth the 400k. So, I hope that everyone does choose to go to another venue for the sake of their wallets and general sanity.

I apologize for that perception. For my part, I am RP-ing the General Manager of this establishment. My posts represent someone struggling to maintain professionalism amid the frustrating ridiculousness that this thread has become. This forum community fancies itself reddit detectives exposing the evil RPers and all their nefarious plots, when in reality they are paragons of toxicity stamping out anything they don't understand or agree with.

I mean, I call out the judge-y and mocking posts, and somehow now I'm the troll?
Bottom line: it's hard for anyone RPing on any other datacenter to get a foothold, and this tragic display is one of the primary reasons.

You are mistaken, it is real food. The customers receive actual items.

As opposed to a real life business school?

Glad someone caught that. I sure needed the levity, I hope you did too!
