I run a tight gym but have financial difficulties because of my standards. I love the NPC idea because it benefits all of us the want to keep a high quality gym. We have so many fighters in gyms with no respect for their equipment or cleanliness. These fighters bog down the game because the managers just don't know any better or don't care. So their money doesn't get to the good owners who give a crap. Giving money to the gyms that obviously don't care doesn't make sense. I would love the opportunity to provide top notch service and benefit everyone that needs the best training. I just can't afford to do so. Lets run with NPC's that look for quality. It helps us all, but be cautious how many we have. It shouldn't be easy money. Fighters of different levels, looking for different training and different quality.
These fighters should not take up spots of active fighters. Say a gym has room for 125 fighters. It has 121 manager run fighters. 4 NPC's "choose" to join this gym. It should still have 4 openings for active managers looking for training for their fighters. So the NPC gets bumped. This will eliminate the need for infinite gyms because the demand is too high and there are no options because the NPC's take up the slots.
Start with 100 NPC's per city. All of these guys have random needs and search different gym requirements. The specifics are over my head, the developers are the specialists.
What does everyone think?
