Remove towns' balance from economy and keep players' balances

CryogenicNewt05

If we remove towns' balance from the eco, we will have significantly less money in the eco, which will cause deflation, which will cause prices to go down, etc.

Now, I am NOT saying we should remove towns' balances so they go broke, just remove them from the eco, and keep players' balances.

Ah yes.
Lets just get rid of many player's hard work and time.
Thats a great idea.
Makes sense.
No one will get PO'd.
No one will quit.

....seriously, man?

why include towns' balances on /baltop? the eco was specifically made for PLAYERS, not towns

...What?

The towns are on baltop so you can see where the most money is and you can see people's accomplishments.
So now we are trying to throw that out the window?

Is the suggestion to remove the money currently in town banks from /baltop? Because that money is still a player's money, it's just in a different place.
Or is it to actually remove it from the eco, like actually taking the money from banks?

Either way this suggestion is ridiculous.

To remove it from the eco, but to have towns keep their balance, as if it weren't there at all

Town balances are part of the eco as the money is taxed from residents, which is money from players/eco and can be withdrawn and deposited.

You cant remove something and keep it at the same time.

Zesk

this is extremely stupid

but i do want town balance removed from /baltop

It's Trivial where the money is. This won't happen because Mayors could just withdraw beforehand.

Town balances make up the mayor's balance, player taxes, and other amounts of money.

You know the balance shown in /baltop doesn't affect the economy, its the amount of money in circulation and for the most part towns take more money out of the eco than they put into it, right?

At the very least, can we at least remove town balances from /baltop?

Again, why?

If I have 2 million meebles, I will be putting 1.6 mil of that into my town bank. Why should baltop not be able to see that?

People can easily look at your /res data and look at the town you live in.

I see no benefit to the server, just another way to use up tech’s time

Sqreix

so you're indirectly saying we should just delete all towns?

you're saying we're to delete the money in a town bank from the economy

~ @CryogenicNewt05

But the money still exists. The amount in Baltic does not determine price, supply/demand of meebles and supply/demand of a product are the two factors determining price. As not showing town's balances won't increase the demand or reduce the supply, it won't have any effect.

TlDr think about what you're saying here
