Or a form of gambling, either way its not a "downtime" activity according to the rules. Downtime activities are operate within the rules framework as a background activity, specifically one that involves a minimum of action from the players and DM. They amount to the same thing as somebody stating that they want to go buy swords, some people might want to play a haggling game with the DM but the rules just assume the player pays the coin and gets the items.I think that's ultimately the hang up that seems to the issue. Downtime activities are designed to be background activities, not the primary activity the players participate in. Does it mean that running a business can't be a fun adventure, sure it can but the PC classes aren't exactly geared towards running shops over stabbing orcs. The game at a core level really isn't designed around running shops, and the downtime activities simplify such activities to a yes, no, neutral position for profit generation regardless of the type of business.</blockquote>
