It feels like you’ve never run Blades or any kind of a similar game…
I was both a player and a GM in a lot of FitD games, and its downtime is not just a D&D shopping session, it’s another phase of the game covered by the rules.
D&D-like shopping sessions, in contrast, are just table talk.
A shopping trip can kill half a session if it’s been a while.
Do you really have fun running a session like that? Me and my players would die of boredom.
I can make one case for people like that: if it’s a paid game. I can tolerate people like that because if I don’t get their emotional investment in the game, at least I got paid. Not that I would invite them to play another session, of course, because there are a lot of better people out there.
And again they are starting with 5e, ffs.
