Buy from specific mall store

[nworbetan]

Maybe I should have used a question mark instead of a period to show that I hadn't actually tried this. >_< Now I've tried it. It works, and I'm still being vague because I personally would be happier if mafia had stronger restrictions on how it interacts with the mall.

Hmm. #6's post there didn't say anything about the case where it's your mall multi. We might be taking this out of context; I'll send #6 a PM to clarify.

First, buying stuff from your multi's store:

Seems pretty clear to me that the response linked to above specifically applies to your mall multi if the question is multi-abuse by you.

It seems nonsensical to have it apply to anyone else's multi since how do I know if a store belongs to a main or a multi and why should anyone care if it is not my multi?

Examples? Perhaps a FR?

I just have one thing to add: it's possible to buy from your own store (I just checked). Any manipulation you could do by buying from your multi's store, you could do by buying from your own, unless those sales are not counted the same way (when exported to kolmarket, for example).

If the account is your mall multi, there's nothing wrong with it since the meat and items will be transferred between the accounts anyways.
If it is a multi that adventures, then it is multi abuse.

Hope this clears up that threadjack.

Well, my preferred amount of restriction would be so draconian that a lot of people would be justifiably upset. It's much easier for me to just not use the features that I don't want to use.
