the authors of public designs in the public catalogue should be pay royalties everything someone buys  their particular design in an NPC shop. it's a great way to encourage participation in the design system. (please over haul that too)

I am also confused by removing gold drops as a source of income. Did the admin just look at the amount of gold in the game and decided it was too much? Because, again, it's not evenly distributed by far. 

I was under the impression it was still 50:1, but I'm not a hip in-it player right now so I can't be too surprised.

I'm actually okay with a lot of this since the changes would be interesting to see. Removing the trades being locked to classes is definitely welcome since I'll then be able to make my own booze for the planned tavern.😁

What I wasn't sure about was the "skillflex to another trade and lose all proficiency" bit. I can understand and agree with some of the frustrations voiced here. Maybe we could have some sort of malus for skillflexing to another trade (such as a 25% proficiency hit the second you confirm wanting to change) instead of completely messing them over by resetting their proficiency to 0. I can just imagine the rage the current plan is going to cause if it is implemented in its current state. Incurring a heavy cost to proficiency for changing trades is probably still going to make people mad, but not nearly as bad as the "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" fury getting slapped back down to 0 from 100% would induce, I think!

Aside from that, I'd personally like to say thank you. As a player, having a medium where admin and players have a way to communicate (and actually DO communicate) has always been a good thing, at least for me! I look forward to seeing what else is in store!
