Noobstown General / Use of chest shops and the power they have to control the economy of a server!!
« on: 16 Nov 2012, 07:07:57 »
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.
