[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 4592755, member: 6616"] The way I read it no-one is opposed to the idea of letting players run a business in-game, neither are they for example opposed to them playing pirates and running their own pirate ship, or creating a bakery, or what have you. That is not, as far as I read it, the gist of the problem. From my reading of the thread, and my own experiences, the whole thing boils to whether you as a player have a responsibility to help the DM move things along. If the DM has prepared a business-running adventure and the players engage in that, then all is fine. But it the DM has prepared a dungeon crawl, then problems might occur if the players engage in station squatting. So I don't think that what the OP or anyone else is saying is that every instance of players who run a business in-game is "station squatting". It's when they start running a business when the DM is saying more or less directly "hey, I don't have that prepared, and I don't do business simulations good enough for us to have fun, so please could you please take the hook" but then the players just arse around doing their business thing anyhow, that it becomes station squatting. /M [/QUOTE]
