I don't know I am new to this maybe solidarity can be enforced as suggested.
But ultimately the sim owner needs to be able to pay the sim fees and owes it's customers/ renters real traffic and sales otherwise they quit renting.
To me this means also organizing attractions at prime time such as auctions when and how long their clients want.
I am still new so I investigate markets to see which community speaks to me and I'd like to join.
To me it is only natural I will be supportive to the events my market is organizing as well as my fellow merchants on that market just so I give back to that community.
That because it is in that market and it's community (of friends) best interest.
I think you are right, Deerne.
As much as I want think of this community as one big cuddling family the facts are different when money is involved.
There are little niches of friends who stick together in one or the other community/ market wether we like that or not.
CoOp is idealistic and done with good intentions I believe but I agree with Ivy here it is and should be volunteerly to join forces like that.
I hope they succeed I doubt it a little at the same time.
It is just human nature to bound with similar minded friends to share the kitty joy with who frequently united within a market.
I have my favorite market as well I like to support and I think everone else who breeds commercial has this as well.
Although sales are not as good as they were I still rent there because it feels like the club I belong to.
