Wait a second
Quote:Which would lead to a static market
How is it static if people are constantly competing?
Quote:Markets are also good for servers where people actually buy stuff. I don't know what servers you played on, but I have yet to play on a server with an electronic marketplace where the economy isn't just a gimmick
The problem is this isn't an RP server , no one is actually going to make a market with the intention of selling things across the server for a profit and as for the electronic system , MCPVP is a server which uses this (oh gawd it's the dreaded mcpvp) and trust me the system is 'Exceptionally' successful as many people use and it's a sole reason why some people play mcpvp.
Quote:I know people whine when I do this, but I'd like to cite the real-world example of the Amazon predatory pricing controversy. Sure, they weren't selling books at $0.01 a book, but they are accused of selling books at unsustainable prices to force others out of the market. This kind of behavior could happen in Kiwike (and has happened before to an extent), and such behavior is encouraged by global marketplaces
Buy their stock if it's exceptionally cheap and resell it , Eventually this stock will run out anyhow.
And this also happens with markets. If town A sells their diamonds for 1.5 GN a piece and town B sells it for 3.2 - It's obvious I'm going to buy it at Town A.
Quote:Who said that the economy was intended to be global?
I had the idea that yotta wanted to promote the economy , not hide diamonds in his chest.
Quote:And they don't now?
There's not even a market system in the freaking server yet , this is why I'm writing this. Lol.
Quote:This sounds like a personal problem
No , it's just that I don't like getting arrows fired at me whilst I'm carrying stacks of emeralds to buy some bread.
Quote:So, while I see where you're coming from, I entirely disagree with your argument. I never said that I was arguing for markets as RP, just that markets work better then global exchanges in Minecraft
You don't even play the server , how does this effect you? If you don't play don't even vote on this.
On a side note I do believe we really need to reset the currency if it's going to become more included in the server , many people have abused a glitch allowing to sustain a massive emerald count whilst others haven't done dis. And when the market system / Electronic system does come out it'll need a fresh currency
