My wife and I run a chef business on Chilastra. We are on week 3 of this challenging, yet rewarding profession. At the moment we have 240+ items on our single vendor. Most of the items break down into 25/10/5 crates. We HAVE to offer crates of 5, thus multiplying our stock by our stock by 5each run,because of the demand by players who do not keep any more then 50-200k in their banks. Think about it, we'll be forced to make a choice. 1. Stock crates of 25 ONLY, thus barring anyone other then rich people to buy our food. OR 2. Stock crates of 5-10 priced HIGH just to keep people from buying us out.
By limiting the number of items, we cannot supply both types of players. Those with large amounts of credits and those without. Also, not only will the quantities we provide be hurt, but also the types of food we offer. 60% of our business has been Bivoli/Canape/Brandy. When we cut down 30%+ of our stock, all the specialty foods get reduced, not the main sellers. Why be a chef if we are forced to stock Brandy/Canape/Bivoli? We need the freedom to have the "big sellers" aswell as the "specialty" foods. This change would infact nullify any diversity the chef profession has.
If this change is to "help" the new players, it certainly isn't goinng to help us.
