What should be Bearbones' main focus?

tbh, the idea of a tnw ship is v.. offputting. i don't want to spend bones on stuff like "oh your character gets a.. big gun" when i could be spending it on stuff like art on site and stuff. it also has always been kind of restricting- and there's never been a problem with super OP characters in tnw. i feel if a ship it added, people might but stuff just to buy hem and the characters will end up, you know, overpowered.
i mean, if it's for abnormalities like.. 6th sense or a literal third eye, then yeah, if it adds more creativity and unrealistic things, but not if it's gonna be kept realistic, if you know what i mean?

on the note of what you can spend your bones on, i do just want to point out that trading bones for art when there's nothing you can do with these bones is kind of... just not going to happen? nobody really wants to trade for a currency that they can't use for anything, so if wnr wasn't shop based, or big enough to really care about buying things in the shop with, and nothing tnw goes into the shop, then there's not much point in keeping bones... at all?

  seconding this, while I do agree that loosening some of the restrictions on WNR shop-wise might be nice, discontinuing the shop entirely would majorly devalue bones
  artists who accepted bones as payment could possibly buy others’ art with bones, but that’d only get so far
