I dislike the suggestion because it is an extremely complicated and clumsy way to prop up the lousy chestshop system at the expense of the buyer.
The removal of MeepShop was planned for half a year.

It doesnt matter if it was 6 months or 6 minutes (i was around then and there were valid arguments against it then, just,as there are now) it was and still is one of the most terrible ideas ever.
No. There was not. The old system was broken.
It was broken because there was, and currently still are too few sinks for players to use.
The gold system is already planned to be readded. There is no change.
Fantastic. The sooner, the better.
I disagree. This accomplishes the goal of benefiting players for visiting other's towns/malls, while adding the convenience of the old vshop at the same time. You clearly don't know what our goal is.
If the goal is convenience, yes, it will absolutely do that. But taxing the buyer ends up as a pretty heavy sink, which is why i mentioned other, more fun ways to do that.
Nobody asked you to use it.
You asked for opinions about it, and not using it is part of that opinion. If the tax were much smaller, i would use it, but the tax vs the convenience and the fact that new currency is super limited makes this quite unappealing.
It is not an intention to remove currency. It is an intention to make the option of visiting the shop and manually purchasing more beneficial. Sinks are an entirely different topic.
Well, from my statement about not using it, it seems that your goal would be acheived. Tho sinks are relevant to the conversation when the tax is 30 percent.
This is not a "solution to the economy", and it never intended to be that. This is simply an addition that readds functionality vshop used to offer to the server whilst sticking to our current plan.
If you want me to listen to you, give suggestions that have not been tried and failed in the past. As of the moment, I have no intention of listening to you for all you seem to be doing is disliking a perfectly good suggestion without understanding - at all - the reasoning behind it.
I never likened this as a fix all solution, you did in your original post. Claiming that the current setup is unsustainable and this is intended to fix that, and thats something i completely disagree with. Players are holding onto money right now, even when most shops are stocked full. I dont see how this being implemented will change that. If you see it, id love for you to shine the light over here. More that there are other, bigger, economic issues that really should be fixed. Whats the point of adding onto a system that isnt working without fixing whats making it not work?
Im not specificially asking you to "listen to me", i am asking you to listen to the criticisisms that players have voiced, myself included. Some have been more constructive than others, but the age range of players here makes it difficult to get 100% constructive feedback.
I am also asking you and the rest of the staff to be more open and sharing with information. Maint outages, updates, what they will include, what plans are for the direction of the server, giving more than a "denied" when people post suggestions... i have seen plenty of good ideas and suggestion shot down with only "denied", status of bug fixes and accepted/in the works suggestions would be awesome as well.
Since you mentioned my suggestion about sinks/perks for ingame currency... i am curious when that has been tried? Its nothing ive seen in the suggestions or talked about in past tense. Putting one of the shops back in was more along the lines of "if it looks like vshop, and acts like vshop, why not just go back to vshop", i guess the sarcasm of it was lost in the text.
