Okay, first of all, let me tell you the end game I am fighting here for, because it seems, that people only nitpick on bits I write here, just for the sake of arguing whatever point they have.
The sell option should never have been removed from /warp shop. Certain items should have had their sell prices significantly lowered. I don't think the current system is any more enjoyable short or long term speaking than the old system was.
Great job ignoring the important bit again. Never said you did absolutely nothing. I can not thank you enough for what you put on your back and do for the server every day, but I can not shake off the feeling you seem really irritated if anyone dares to speak against you and you act as if I ate your lunch buddy. Do I think your behaviour is unacceptable at times? Yes, definitely, but I can also understand it. You said it yourself; "Not a peoples person". Fair enough.
The important bit of the paragraph you quoted was the first 2 lines, never mind the last one. Could you explain how you plan on implementing a buy back system? How often would it be opened up? How would you determine prices? Who would manage it?
I am sure you can see where my concern comes from.
I may act dumb sometimes, but when I say I personally experienced a drop in trades after the removal of /sell, I was not being delirious. I do not have facts to support my claims, I just have my experience and the experience of other people I've talked to since.
I don't get what you mean "wrong on all accounts" as if you were disregarding my experience and putting yours as the relevant one.
Sure, people still sell a lot on vshop, that's unavoidable, my point is, there is less being traded as it would had with /sell still in place.
My thinking behind this, is the following. I'll use semi-relevant numbers for this. Let's say, with sell there was a solid 4M added to the eco every day. Without it, there's only 2m. Right? People earn only half of what they used to, but prices don't drop to half their price overnight. Logically, the result is less trades compared to what could have been.
Now you think about where those people got their money from. Again, without any facts, my guess would be, that it wasn't made after the removal of /sell.
That's a great argument buddy, but no, I wasn't talking about my shop. I was talking about general player to player trading, which was very successful before, mind you.
Stop being a hypocrite and leave your sarcasm for yourself. You made a thread and poll about the Meep's economy and promised results 3 weeks ago. I haven't seen anything from you since, nor did I see any relevant suggestions other than to remove mending.
