Perk of being a mod is I can still post. ;)
-- I've had a series of well, heated, discussions with @KlutchDecals about some of the change in the way the economy works. I think the mistake I was making is viewing this on too small of a scope. I can say that these changes are not an attempt to simply reduce an arbitrary number, as they have been many times before. To put it briefly @KlutchDecals is trying to spearhead some initiative to try to make the economy something we want to participate more. We've done this numerous times before, with MeepShop, and then just with player-chest shops which most ended not in success. I'm not saying this will be an absolute failure, or success, but I can say that he is definitely approaching this in a very different manner than we, and other past admins had, which is a good thing.
His changes are not driven by reducing an economy, but making an economy that is actually fun, more than the meh we're at currently. Knowing this, I suggest that we should not instantly view it from that perspective, but if we're going to change it, what is ideally the coolest way to do so. This Mending thread was just that, would we have a funner game with that part of the economy re-enabled, which mending does work towards shutting down.
(@KlutchDecals - That is being a people person ;))
