Rust Realism is going to be a miserable lump of shit not worth investing in.
This server has modded stacks and a point system people grind for. Take away their trading capacity, and reduce their gains is not generally a positive thing unless intentionally trying to reduce the point gain in a wipe. It is not to the benefit of this server, especially grindy players to have NPC trades.
There is not a single shop on the map buying cloth or corn for an equal rate, and thus establishes the market.
That you aren't interested in considering changing it or super-amping it up (maybe consider end of wipe 100000000000000x increase?) is really a mixed message as having a point system becomes useless if you're reducing our grinding abilities, (no it's not actually your fault, it's Rust's) and not helping stabilizing grinds, then this experiment is basically over.
Yes I came at this heavy but take this serious, this one little thing is enough to make me not have any interest in Rust, let alone Scourge.
