Bring back Vshop but nerfed

Hey everyone this is jmelara and I came up mabye with a good idea idk. We remake the vshop with all the same commands and such but nerfed. I say that for one we need to have a base price that no one can go under. So gold prices never fall under golden apple prices so smorning doesn't exploit that method again. Basically all crafted items must be under the materials required for it.

Pros so far

- Exploiting is a lot harder to do
- People will stay if they have some way to make money
- Material prices don't fall to complete trash as we are seeing in iron....

Cons

- To find all the crafting recipes may be hard and lengthy

Another method to make the vshop less OP and allowing people to scam it and make infinite money in little to no time is to have a cap on how many materials you can sell in a hour. I say Mabye 500k of materials. This is so people don't make auto farms and sell millions of Meebles a hour with no cap. This allows for chest shops like Diana's still to breathe because people with the cap need to sell and they can to shop owners.

Pros

- Allows a way for people to make money and not get bored and quit
- Nerfs and allows it so people can't exploit the vshop badly, because people can't be on 24/7 and with the cap makes it so it's the only place to make money
- Still allows for player interaction

Cons

- Less player interaction
- The cap price may be too much

To furthermore nerf the vshop but still be a valid way to make money is to cap a limit of how many of the same resource a person can sell. So say have a limit that you can sell only 100,000 of the same resource in the same week. This can help limit the effect of auto farms creating almost infinite of a resource. Furthermore, only allow someone to sell 1,000,000 resources in a week to the vshop to make auto farms even more limited.

Pros

- Harder to exploit
- Auto farms are less useful creating more player interaction

Cons

- None

People we all need to open our eyes and see this server is almost impossible for new players. It is confusing and they will just quit and go to a easy server. There is no fun in having a server that is impossible to make money without having to spend impossible amounts of money. In the great times of meep we had the vshop and jobs and everyone was happy. We need to make this server easier to understand or this advertising thing won't help at all.... Thank you for reading jmelara..

Ps this isn't the same suggestion as @Cookies713 so don't try to combine them!

 

you can't make infinite money with vshop, that was meepshop
we could just make it so all prices have to be whole numbers...
we don't need a sell limit for a virtual shop if its player to player, i should be allow to own 2 million virtual coal
we don't need to fix undercutting, it's not an issue, it's just a fact of life when peddling common items...

Vshop(updated), along with a /cancel limit(was already coded back in '13) and a simple 1 paragraph addition to the rules.

This is being worked on, keeping in mind the figures in the suggestion are subject to change. The way I understand this idea is that essentially, it is very much like vshop.

 

No my idea isn't at all like his. Actually I am against that idea for many reasons. I find it very dumb that to have something delivered to you it would cost 20% to 30% more. In my eyes this is just another way Onis is trying to make the server more challenging and not fun. That is like you order something online and the shipping and handling is some insane overpriced cost. Meep delivery will be taken over by huge shops and make prices drop way to low. Furthermore his idea makes it even harder for a citizen to make money. Say they buy 1000 oak logs for 10 each it would by 3k additional cost. Tax is maybe 5-8% not 30% this again is a unnecessary step for this server and it makes it a lot harder.

I want base prices so items don't become to cheap. Also I just want to but limits on how much people can sell. To make it so huge shops can't take over. While still allowing player interaction. I don't think unnecessary tax will help at all.

 

I'm not saying the ideas are the same. I'm saying this is what we're doing, keeping in mind the values of the suggestion are subject to change.

 

No nerfs necessary.

 

-1 we do not need any new version of vshop. The whole idea of best Meep is to dispose of this. I love chestshop. We do not need vshop.

 

Denied, there are no plans to bring back V-Shop at the time.
