Hacking Businesses

[Lyana]

So I had a question and a thought.

How negatively does hacking affect businesses? I read the wiki and it said one point from each reputation and popularity is taken. If that is everything, and this is suppose to be a non violent method of PVP. Shouldn't this affect businesses a bit more than that? Like by more than what they can gain back in a day? A while back, I was killed by a group of people, and as retaliation I tried to hack their business's over and over to lower their reputation and popularity. I couldn't make any leeway. Each day they were right back up to where they left off. I am hoping that hacking will be a more prominent form of non violent PVP.
