Earning Money from Gyms
« on: February 16, 2012, 06:37:59 am »
Recently there have been more tactics for Gym Leaders to make money from their gym such as paying for nerfs and having food shops. In other people's perspectives, its basically like Buying a Chance to win the badge. Can the admins help with this situation, maybe making the shops normal priced, or not having payable nerfs at all but instead get a disadvantage on the battle.

Ok, food shops I support completely. It is no different from any other trainer selling food, it's just being motivated for a different reason.

The buying nerfs is something I don't agree with. It in no way represents the games, and I can't even stretch my mind to possibly make an excuse for it. If you don't want them to do the course, remove the course. Don't discriminate against the people who can't afford your prices.

Prodigy tried to make me pay for a nerf the other day, he also lied to me and told me that Tn told him it was ok (which he didn't) then did a triple lie and blamed it on Hix =/

Honestly, if I see a gym leader selling nerfs, I will ban them on the spot. In my opinion it's like buying gym badges. It's far from allowed. DO NOT DO IT. If I see/hear you doing it, may  Arceus  have mercy on your soul. I doubt admins will have mercy for you.

The only reason I did it was b/c Hix told me Tn charged for nerfs

Okay is it allowed if you take a peice of armor away from the battle for them to nerf it? then give it back when they either win/lose the battle?
