Spawn monopoly on weapon sales????

[KillBastard]

What's with the person or people seemingly AFK'ing all day, every day, selling guns right outside the spawn for crazy prices? Isn't it technically kind of against the rules to put your vendor stands in the street, and if you do put them in the street, you have to move them if players ask you to? Not that I could ever ask this person, it seems like they are AFK 90% of the time while they game the system lol.

 

 It also takes the wind out of being an arms dealer, when everybody with extra money to blow or a bone to pick will immediately buy the weapons at spawn out of convenience. You can buy the closest building to the spawn, put a lot of time into a nice elaborate gun store with good prices, and you'll still barely make a dime in comparison to the stands RIGHT OUTSIDE the spawn. Not to mention it just looks kinda bad imo, and takes character away from what could be a livelier town with more unique businesses. 

 

Anybody else getting slightly annoyed with this, or am I being a buzzkill?

No it does feel ridiculous and you are 100% right about the players just placing the stands and giant text signs down and standing in some random corner. It just fuels the random RDM fests the moment that last staff member hops off for the night too, obviously people can still buy the guns from a vendor and pocket them, but I've seen it a dozen times where someone runs up to that stands, buys a gun and just immediately starts gunning people down on main street.

Tired of taking the long way out of spawn because some dude is blocking 2 of the three exits with overpriced guns.

Just thought I'd give you guys a head up, we are looking at changing that, no more spawn gun stands.

Yeah, I agree with you for sure. While it is technically already against the rules and if you complain to an admin it will get removed, it is still a bit annoying to walk through spawn tunnel just to encounter a sign saying "RDM Station" with props going up to the sky to block people from jump sweping out. We're looking at different ways to counter this as well as players just using gun stands as passive money-making methods without being anywhere near them.

 

One idea is to institute a rule that gun stands can only be in front of the base of an actively selling gun-dealer.

Gun store interactions are goated, stands should be reserved for outside of shops for people to quick buy instead of buying whole shipments.
