And remember that there is a bunch of players who just want to login on evening and fight. You can't just ignore their existence. There would have to be some alternative for them (Hinkly isn't enough).
Totally agree.
Players forget, nothing is infinitive. If someone says something is, that most probably means that he spends a little bit more time on the game than he should with few exceptions, because everything you do is at the expense of your own free time and that's the cost.
Exception is, for example, resources obtained from TC box. The amount of ammunition(.223, 14mm, 7.62mm and many more, but less of worth), drugs(Jet, Buffout, Nuka Cola, Cigarettes), raw material resources like uranium ore, advanced super-burn mix, electronic parts and there is something I forgot for sure from what you hardly can run out of if you just keep an idling character overnight in the city, except caps.
I still see players buying, selling some of that stuff, but that is only because they don't do TC.
