What is the general consensus on profit shops

I think they're ~alright~ i feel like those who don't have an understanding of the server fall into using them and not actually getting anywhere, though.

Personally, I’m against profit shops as they’re technically an alternative to /pay, which is disabled to prevent boosting.

Although there’s no set rule yet against profit shops, I think they essentially bypass the inability to give other players money.

On the other hand though, I believe there’s no rule against them because they still require mana, so it’s not entirely boosting - the players still need to work for the mana, to purchase the items before they sell for cash.

I think it’d be quite difficult to enforce too, unless Dakota blacklisted all profitable items such as mob drops, cacti etc.
