Maybe I dont know much about how shops work, but from what ive mostly observed, it just caters to those who are friends with one another.
And I get a shitload of people fucking spamming me to plus these designs, and I do if I feel like it bc it won't kill me, but I kind of feel like what's the point of expecting people to plus your designs for you to get a shop and gift your friends? Like why not ask those same friends to plus the fucking designs ya cunt?
I stand to be corrected or wrong, or both, but I'm just confused at how people in shops will sit there and only put up designs for their friends to get, and then expect someone to want them to get a shop? I'm sure when the concept of shops were designed it was to eliminate the unfairness involved with auctions, as many lower levels obviously can't outbid the higher levels. But the way shops is set up like a fucking gang where the gang attempts to rule a turf for their own gain.
Well, I personally often did gift giveaways for plussers. A lot of the time gifts don't go to friends as much as they go to designers, people they owe, gift for gifts, auction buyers, etc.
