Visitors should pay for the services they receive

It would be very nice if my fortress got some compensation for the massive plethora of bards, poets, and soldiers that just hang out in the tavern and drink all our booze and eat all our food. As it is, most of them are rather useless. If they traded coins or some other goods for that, it would give a greater economic incentive for having a big tavern.

Well yes. An awful lot of things in DF shouldn't be provided for free (like mercs for a start). That's why there's a world economy update planned. Without it paying for stuff doesn't make any sense.

Incidentally, why would mercs and poets pay for the privilege of entertaining your dorfs and dying in their sieges? Makes no sense.

Presently visitors don't get or need services.
