Bring back the VShop

Re-implement it. It had no economic repercussions, and it allowed all players a convenient way to make money.

 

+1, it was really fun!

 

+1, onis will say no but heh.

 

There were economic repercussions of the Vshop certain players would monopolize different products and be the only person making consistent income off a product. However, this made them do mass buyouts to keep a competitive price within their monopoly, allowing players to gain money off of their product being bought out. I do want to see a new shop plugin because Vshop was meh, Meepshop was bad, this current shop is terrible. My only qualm is that vshop is a region for monopolization. Perhaps you could elaborate on the ways that you'd fix Vshop to make it more respondent to the economy and have it prevent monopolies?

 

There were quite a few economic repercussions of the Vshop. For one, it allowed dupers, x-rayers, and other cheaters easy ways to unload money. It also caused people to be able to monopolize certain areas of the shop.

Who cares about monopolies. There are monopolies in the real world, so why not have monopolies here? After all, Fuzzlr did want to make the economy as closely related to the American economy as possible, which can be achieved with the re-implementation of vshop.

 

I'm fairly confident that Fuzzlr had no assumptions this represented any model of economy found existing on this planet.

 

Monopolies are illegal in the real world

 

Yes they are, it first started with the Sherman Antitrust Act in the post Civil War economic boom then, Taft went on to break a lot of trusts. There are several anti-trust laws in the United States.

 

yes hello my name is john d. rockefeller and i'm here to control everything.

 

Who said Monopolies were illegal? Monopolies are only illegal if you do bad business practices in order to obtain or maintain it. You can still have a monopoly if you simply outcompete others via honest means.

 

Eh +1
I miss it
Also, I'm pretty sure this has been suggested and denied a few time before, for various reasons, but my personal opinion is that it never did any harm

 

That's why we have the Sherman Anti Trust act created in the late 1800s - early 1900s. Somewhere around there in America.

 

We Should Vshop!

 

please explain how it helped dupers and xrayers unload money more then they possibly could with meep shop or currently

 

+1000000 yes please ruin all sign shops! >

 

Vshop sucked and was worthless! Honestly the MeepShop would have been PERFECT if they would have just put me in charge of it! Also my changes to meepshop would have also allowed for the current ChestShop system at the same time! However, The current MeepMarket is "okay" but again put me IN ChARGE of it to make it awesome!

 

If players could still undercut the monopolized item and thus make money off the other player completely buying them out, why was monopolization such a bad thing? It doesn't prevent anyone from effectively making money off the market and so it is a win/win situation.

However even though I don't think it is bad, wouldn't the simplest solution to overcome monopolization be to have a limit on the amount of items a player can have on either the entire Vshop or each individual item on the Vshop? Not only does this prevent players monopolizing items, it also prevents them from using the Vshop as a mass storage system.

 

-1 for vshop +1 for meepshop

 

That still wouldn't help. I can hold a monopoly on something by simply having 5 cobblestone because of the fact that I bought everyone out.
