shops are working well, you just have to figure out what they take. They are working better than last season, imo
but make it where people don't trade 100,000 bbs to shops, in other words pre-wipe shops no ability to trade BBs.
Well that is true but nobody will buy an item from you when he has hundreds of the same item. Maybe barter skill could influe max amount of items traders is willing to buy. For example trader have 10 000 bbs so he dont buy them anymore, player with 300 barter will virtualy rise his cap to 20 000 and player sell his bbs for 5 caps each. But when comes player with 150 barter he rises trader's cap only to 12 000 so player sell his bbs for only 2 caps each.
