So first off I will start by talking about the /shop. The /shop is ran by the admin as a convenience to the members. Personally when I read the forums about how the admins should up the prices in the /shop or should do this or that I think about how that would shatter the economy of this server. I have played on a server where the only means of economy was based on the chest shops, I believe that offering the least that can be offered in the /shop is for the best of the server. Why would you want to have every time so a player could just type /buy ------ 64 and get that item or just sell that item. Honestly I feel that if anything should happen to the /shop it should be taken down. When the shop was down it made you - the members- have to go to the chest shop to buy and sell or do a chat trade.

Seastore - This really is a topic to it self, but I will give my thoughts of Seastore. Seastore is just like every other big business IRL they have the power to control the market. So what does the competitors do they: match prices, try to offer better deals, have sales. But, that is not the issues that everyone is talking about and honestly I do not understand why people hate the Seastore. Personally I do not buy very much to anything thing from Seastore I try to stick to the members of DragonFire to buy from. Selling is a different matter I sell the DragonFire members first but if it is an item I want to get rid of I will sell to Seastore. So personally I do not care that Seastore is open and everyone needs to remember that you are NOT BEING FORCED TO CONDUCT BUSINESS WITH THEM, it is by your own choice that you do. Seastore like stated by a few members makes a good addition to the market place.

I know this topic was "closed" but about the court really!!!!. Just one point, we already have a "court" - the admins are the judges and the mods are the jury. The mods have the power to make choices but when it comes down to it the admin can overrule them. Having a court would just make matters worse. Also "I know it will never happen" but if there was a court formed I believe that if you take the admins and mods away the next group of people that would be in charge of the server would be members that donated. The people that have donated have put real money into the server and would have a clear head on the goodness of the server , if nothing else to make sure there money was not wasted on a server the would have to be shut down.

So personally I think people need to step back and let the admins and mods do their job and make the server a wonderfully place to be.

Honestly the chest being full should not be something someone gets raged about and owners of other shops would treat their shop like a real like shop then their would not be that problem. Everyone is upset, hurt over Seastore taking business, but when chest are full or empty then that is when the other shop have the chance to shine and 9 out of 10 shops do not put enough effort into the shop to make them have an chance.

I buy from sea store because they had cheap diamonds but now their out of stock so now I buy from other stores that have cheap diamonds. I wuv diamonds

Regarding Seastore:

We are three owners who work together to make a good shop, that is our goal.  Yes, we have made it look like one big shop, but it really is three different shops, beside each other. It is free for everyone else to do this, and you can actually work together two or more players in one shop-plot (more players than the shop owner can have shop-chests in one shop-plot), which others also do. I see nothing wrong on co-operation like this.

We checked with the mods before doing this, and got permission to do it. Now, that our shop is a success, which may effect other shops in the Market, people complain. How is it possible that we can control prices? We sell exactly the same things as many others do on the market. If we sell it cheaper, why is that something to complain about? If we have higher prices, what is wrong with that? It is how the market works, and we work inside these rules. We don't go off buying other shops empty of their items to control prices either (like someone actually does).

So, the only thing we do different than others is work under the same roof, literally. And the only deal we have with each other is what to sell. Debo sells something, MasterRahl other things, and I sell my things. That is the only hint of control we have, but I can't really see how that effects the prices or the economy at all.

Some paint a picture that we have exploited something within the system, when the truth is that we have worked hard, and continue to do so, to keep a good shop up and running. We all could make money faster with just grinding wood or something else, but we find it more interesting to try run this shop as good as possible.

If the mods and admins still think we are doing something outside the rules, then we will of course remove the shop. But if we haven't done anything wrong, then the anti-Seastore brigade shouls stop. It is okey to complain about our prices, that is a normal thing when you have a shop. But to accuse us of controlling the economy is getting ridiculous.

Sea store is a really nice store that 3 people built. And that is what makes the server great
