The loyalist guide says this:
Although, in Willard v1, no-one ever did this. Discounts weren't really a thing. So, how can we solve this? Ayo made a google docs document on it, which is a good starting point. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lFCYB94NjSpzt_pdXtMbZDBlU9lg4YZtmz49vbQcraE/edit
Though, this has some flaws. Most notably the compensation given to store owners. It essentially puts more money into the economy. But people won't like losing sixty credits just because a tier six collaborator walked through the door. There's only two solutions to this: Remove the discount entirely, or have a mandatory yet low discount. I'm suggesting we have a mandatory but reasonable collaborator discount.
Tier 1 and Tier 2 would receive a 5% discount from stores, Tier 3 and 4 would get 10%, and Tier 5 and 6 with 15%. This is not nearly as harmful as having to give a loyalist 50% off an item, resulting in a pretty heavy loss.
If you removed the compensation in ayo's system, you'd force store owners to increase their regular prices by 50% in order to avoid losses when dealing with high tier loyalists. Regular citizens might not like this too much, and it doesn't allow a whole lot of freedom when setting your prices.
Although, with a 15% mandatory discount on tier 6 loyalists, all you need to do is increase your prices by 15% and you're guaranteed not to lose money on a sale. That's not nearly as much of a leap as 50% would be, and means compensation isn't required. Unlike the 50%, it allows you to be more free with how you set your prices. You aren't restricted to >150% if you want to avoid losses.
Lastly, more reasons to be loyal.
I'm not 100% on this myself tbh, so ways to improve this in the replies would be great. But, I think some sort of mandatory discount is required, at least for high tier loyalists. Sorry if this is a bit rant-y or whatever.
