I believe the suggestion for this is to try and make cws less exclusive but by adding more accessiblity to the site, not so much replacing the CS option... if I'm understanding correctly anyways.

IN theory, this idea is quite fun. I agree that it would make more sense to be part of a 'fashion district' in Centeropolis would make more sense than an exclusive island. I think it should still be in the CS as the main/original portal- because it's user based and centered around CS where all other items for sale around the subeta world are sP based or other kinds of currency, none of which are csc. While you can pick up csc in various places, you can't spend csc in any other place other than the CS.

I think one reason why we don't see an option for the CS as a whole when related to the rest of the site is because it's meant to be separated. If you think about it, there is no NPC associated with the CS- it's like a separate enity altogether from subeta and subeta lore. While it sells items that tie into the lore (like minions, books, food ect) it's not the same as the different lands around the site. None of the existing NPCs reference or make mention to the CS shop- so it's like it's not even related to the lore at all. Brain mushiness related... I can't think of a real world comparison.... lol. I guess it's cuz the CS is stuff purchased with real money, and since NPCs and us in general use onsite currency- CSC seems to be more exclusive in nature simply cuz not everyone can afford to purchase CSC. I myself never did before cws- because I couldn't afford to spend real money on pixels. I only own cws because I make them- so even that could be difficult.

I"m not sure if the cw database will have any info on what is private or not private. For those that have remembered- if they did something like the site arvee had done- it could have info in it. It's too bad that subeta staff doesn't accept volunteers to help out with such an endeavor. lol.

Now I'm just rambling... I think this could be a good idea, but def needs more refining. I also think that the idea of an NPC giving out cws randomly could be fun, but imo, should only be one place that does it, not multiple. I don't think there's enough cws in the pawn archive to give them away that often considering how many people play subeta. I know ppl can still pawn their cws, but not sure how many ppl are actually doing it.

K, that's enough of my nonsense. xD;; ~❤️

There are two NPCs off the top of my head who deal with cash shop stuff n_n The Hustler, and Qazim, whom handles the Neelas! Also there have been mention of other NPCs in relation to the cash shop, if you remember those mystery boxes a while back where we could purchase boxes of supplies from certain stores via the cash shop (Such as one from the Stick it to the Man shop)

Yeah, I was thinking about the Hustler when I was writing my post and then forgot to say anything as it slipped right back out of my brain. lol. I forgot about Qazim! That's very true and does tie more into the lore as the neela is a pet and all. Very good point. It would be kind of a fun way to link the CS in with the whole of subeta too I think? I mean, since there is also the boutique, you could have a 'fashion district' like I said, the boutique is on one section and other parts of the CS that deal with wears and such.... but yeah. I like the idea overall, but def more like something inside Centropolis, not an 'island' for cws, that just sounds.... weird. lol.

Aghhhhhghh, I'm sorry for the delay in reading/replying to your comments! Thank you for stopping in and offering your opinion. Most people have agreed that if something like this came to pass, it should be incorporated into an existing area like Centropolis, instead of it's own thing, and I'm 100% behind that. I think CWs should still have their area in the Cash Shop, too, but it would be so nice for CWs to have a presence in the world too - that isn't solely CSC based. I would imagine that if you can't afford to buy CSC, you wouldn't even bother looking in the cash shop area, but you might explore the site map! Even if there was just one NPC that offered a chance every blue moon to get a random pawn shop CW, it would give average non-CSC-buying users a look into the CW world, instead of being excluded.

I don't know about the database...I doubt that private status will ever be officially recognized by the staff, even though so many users seem very concerned about whether or not an item is "private" or buyable. I don't truly understand the obsession/saltiness over not being able to buy some items, because they are sold out or "private," but I would hope that by making CWs more accessible in general, those types of people would see how big the CW community is and how very many other CWs are still available to purchase!

I also kind of like the idea of linking the CS (not just the CW part) to the site as a whole. Lots of people love the lore and stories of the site, why not incorporate the money-making sections of the site into that lore?
