it could go both ways honestly. personally i'd probably be more likely to spend money on cr because i knew my bffs would be able to enjoy the item(s) too, and as a new user you wouldn't just give up on getting all the nice stuff for 700 cr beforehand, because you might be able to temporarily lend it from one of your bffs
but yea, it could just as well go the other way too

errrr no not really. it could never go the other way, because basically you'd only ever be paying for half an item and that's if you have one bff. if you've got like 4 then you'll only be paying for 1/5th of an item so either way you'd need less cr to get something

again some people don't like sharing. also the item won't technically be yours, you won't have access to it anymore when you're no longer bffs with the owner, and you're not necessarily gonna be bffs forever
but yes, there's a big chance the economy would change, but it would make the game a lot more enjoyable for a lot of people and most likely increase the player base in the longer run. lots of the new users disappear again after a few weeks. also as i mentioned earlier only one of you will be able to wear the item at a time unless you have two copies - not that it would change that much, but it'll still help balancing out things

i know but i'm really too tired to explain but it would be bad for the economy. that's just how it works?

you'd need to buy less items because there'd be a lot of items that you could wear without owning them (your bffs items). And needing to buy less items means needing to spend less cr. and needing to spend less cr means people buying less cr.

this is originally not my idea and i don’t remember the name of the person i saw writing it, but i thought it would be interesting to find out what people have to say about it

the wardrobe sharing would be between your official bffs on here and it would sort of mesh your wardrobes together so that you gained access to wear each others stuff without actually having to manually trade it back and forth and keep track of who owns what. you will not be able to wear the same items at the same time unless you have two copies of it (if only one of you have the item, only one of you will be able to wear it at a time - that way there won't be made more temporary copies in the game)

if you remove people as your bff your items will disappear from each others wardrobes and be separated again. you would be able to turn this feature off under settings if you don’t want to share with anyone

what it would do is to first of all make it more worthwhile spending cr on buying extra bff spots, but it would also make the whole dress up aspect of vp a lot easier to overcome and become part of, especially for newer users or those who can’t buy cr for whatever reason

the downside is that it could affect the whole trading/selling thing, but i’ve heard lots complain about it as it is anyways, and i personally don’t think it would put a permanent end to it, because some people would undoubtedly not like the sharing aspect and would prefer having the items themselves to wear whenever they wanted

idk i thought it would be interesting to hear different peoples viewpoints and the various pros and cons also i’m bored and i didn’t know what else to do to entertain myself
