...don't mix. I'd like to propose that we disallow buying and selling of subchars, this will prevent people exploiting people by grabbing characters that others want then selling them at extortionate amounts. At the very least i'd like to restrict the maximum they can be sold for.

I haven't seen any instances of characters being bought or sold.  |

I have.
And even still, why does it matter so much? Really, this isn't something you can really regulate or watch over.

Eh, I don't see a problem with it as long as both parties are in agreement. It's their money/subcharacters after all, and if they're willing to spend it or give it up, its their own business.

Well, I DO see a problem with people extorting huge amounts of PCs out of someone just to get one of their favorite characters off of them. I'm personally against any such practice, and don't understand why some of you are so apathetic about it, considering you give heat to the biggest perpetrator there is all the time. Don't complain about someone if you're just going to flip flop on a solution.

I think it's more, sure you can make a rule. But how are you ever going to enforce it? It's just not possible. You can't see every exchange that 2 interested parties may make, nor for what a monetary exchange is for.
In addition, why is it any different to make a person pay X amount for a character then it is to make them pay X amount for a special unit or item? Reasonable parties would engage in negotiations over such matters if X seems unreasonable. The problem you reference is not because the system is unfair, but the specific person is. There's a difference between complaining about the way everything works and the way one person works.

The difference is that items and mechs are usually purchaseable or for the most part attainable in one way or another. Characters are free to claim, and yet once someone claims a character ahead of you, it's impossible to get that character unless the person trades/sells/gives them to you.
Again this is probably something that we can't enforce any rule about. The most we can do here is ask people to not be so selfish and not extort money out of people for something as trivial as subcharacters. No matter how much you love them, they still aren't your intellectual property, so I don't see why you should be demanding large amounts of PCs for it.

While we can't fully stop this money and slave trade(sounds like it a bit XD) at least we can make people be aware of what they are doing in so they can be more reasonable enough to own and regulate their sub-characters and even share them with others as per agreement of the people involved.

I don't see why you guys think this can't be kept track of. If PC is changing hands, it'll be in their PCD records.

Because it's entirely possible to just randomly give someone X PCs, and then coincidently claim a character they dropped the same day...

It's not, however. It's a legitimate exchange. Are you saying that it's illegal for me to just give someone PCs?

It's not really as simple as you think. That's a lot of checking that the mods in question need to do.
