question for tha people

would you be annoyed if vp started doing like super expensive time limited shop items to eat up some credits and promote future trading

ive just been thinking about gsm n gaia a lot and how easy it is to spend all ur money there because evberything is so expensive in relation to how much money you get.

like obviously we barely have enough sets for shop as it is and i know auction technically is supposed to have this purpose but im just doin some market research ig

conclusion after reading comments:
Having a slightly more expensive and limited shop set occasionally could be ok, but only if we start having more regular shop updates in regular.

i miss shop updates i wish designs werent spread so think rn so we could do them

gsm kinda wins by bein able to do so many that ur still poor by the next update but here you get rich inbetween updates

I kind of hate the inaccessibility for some of GSM's items but, it would be beneficial if there was a time limited collection for VP that isn't the auction like weekends only or one/half a day only...I wouldn't encourage these items being over 100/200 cr each but, with prices like that it may encourage people to buy more credits

...could be good! just depends

I think we should do auctions with items from banned people and inactive people's wardrobe instead to eat the credits honestly.

Banned users' items at once, and inactive people maybe getting an email with a three month warning or something beforehand, where the user will be deleted if they haven't logged in by a deadline. Then some of their stuff could be auctioned off, while the rest could be used for competitions and similar for a period of time.

This way I also feel like the designers might not be stretched as thin, which would make it easier to "save up" some sets for a backlog and maybe get some more shopdrops that way without sacrificing in other places.

To answer your actual question though:
Some expensive sets sometimes isn't a bad idea. I think it's too much on gSm with a lot of FOMO on top of it too, which I find frustrating as a user. If it's with the same span as auctions are now, I feel like it could be healthy.

The 1 hour shop events could also be used for this purpose.

those who dont come online arent the problem, credits just sit there so it doesnt matter how much they have if they dont use it

but there are people with substantial amount of credits on vp and our economy is fucked up rn
