So I suggest reducing the cost of such clothing by at least fifty percent, to encourage people to actually purchase and reuse it instead of having it sit in the market for eternity. As it is, buying 'off the shelf' clothing or new tailored clothing is usually cheaper than buying second hand stuff.
If the market is meant to offer an alternative for finding clothes without going through a tailor, it might be worth looking at ways to make that option more accessible. This could also help players and fixers stay more active in clothing people while keeping things balanced.
On a related note, the last time I reached out to a fixer for something was about a month ago. I completely understand that IC time and availability vary, but I figured they were just not able to find what I was looking for. In the end I went with a retail purchase, but I would love to see more opportunities for the market and fixers to be part of these transactions.
I think many of the clothes you’re talking about that cost hundreds of chy are made of extremely expensive materials.
The depot - Under $30.
Your first starter outfit in the mix from a tailor is anywhere from 2k - 6k. And with the rate things get burned and destroyed, that's not fun.
If one item of market clothes is 3k - 10k, that's not an incentive to buy it.
And yeh, some of them are made from very expensive materials. But again, if they're priced at a point that no character is liable to be able to afford (let alone want to buy them) why leave them hanging around at all cluttering up the database?
