forgotten meepshop relics

Friends, staff, and fellow meeps, I come here today asking you to reflect on some of the history of meep. Not the mistakes or the failures of our past, but the accomplishments that we have long forgotten. About a year ago, in the old meep spawn. The shops were very different. They have changed much, partly for the better, and by mistake, partly for the worse. Those of us who have seen the changes of meep, over the past year, might remember the old meep shops. Some parts were utter failures, but a few of us remember the great achievements of the old meepshop. Today I recall one feature that was a cornerstone of the strong foundation of the meep shop...

The fix sign

To the meeps of the newest generation and those who don't remember, the fix sign was a sign that allowed players below the elite rank to fix their items, and keep the enchantments. However this service wasn't without a just price. It would cost nearly 4,000 Meebles for each item. Only the most precious of all diamond gear was worthy of such a high price. Some of the ancient meeps called the "fix sign" the most revolutionary feature in the history of meep shop! Others said it was far better.

Now you may ask what has happened to such an important jewel of meepshop achievements? The answer, I do not know. But what I have told you is enough to restore the ancient meepshop relic to its former glory, And this time it shall not be forgotten.

+1 If you are with me to restore the most precious artifact, of our ancestors, to glory,

Leave an like if you enjoyed the lore

 

+1, lets have it back. Gives a way for money to exit the Eco.

 

Yea I forgot to say that. Also I personally would still be very satisfied if the fix price was upped to even 10k. after all a god set costs like what? 100k? Assuming that is with the bow and sword, that's about 6 items for 100k so 10k to fix each item is still worth it rather than buying a new one. (Whoops were you expecting me to keep talking like the lore?)

 

This would decrease the value of diamonds, enchantment books, any enchanted items including god armor/tools.
Huge -1.

Godsets go for as little as 20k and as high as 40k.

 

We already have the /fix command which essentially does the same thing except for that the /fix doesn't take money out of the economy. The fix sign is better because it takes money out of the economy causing deflation. Deflation is good because it makes the actual currency worth more. So 20 Meebles might have bought a stick, but after deflation 20 Meebles will buy iron boots

That arguement justifies that /fix should be removed contingent that the fix sign is denied.

 

Thus making the rich richer and the poor poorer

Honestly when I was a premium, not having /fix wasn't an issue, it was actually pretty simple to bring the items to an anvil and fix them up. Once I couldn't fix them I just sold them away

 

I would love them to remove /fix even though they never will. But only elite+ are able to /fix.

 

1. who says that the elite+ players are rich. When I was a citizen I self made 700k which I used to buy premium and then as premium I worked hard and bought exclusive in Meebles.
2. Players that can't /fix would lose more money having their gear destroyed than spending 4K to repair a God sword. Also using the sign is completky optional, "making the poor poorer" is in no way a valid point. Don't get me wrong but I think you have completely overlooked the fact that this is 100% optional.
3. Every player can choose to use an anvil and break 6 iron swords getting the 39 levels to repair the same God sword, think about a player without access to a grinder. Elites+ can use anvils too, do they? No.

But I'm not here for a flame war. So it is not my intent to start one. Since I left I have become wise enough to know that forums were never intended for the purpose of players flaming each other with "ad hominem" (look it up) attacks and uncalled for toxicity. And since many players haven't realized that yet the staff created a section of the forums specifically for the flame wars (hence debates section).

(Disclaimer) I dont agree with what you said because it wouldn't be the outcome of this suggestion. And as I implied in the lore. This was a part of the shop about a year ago, and they didn't take it out, it was forgotten in the new shop.

 

No I meant it generally. If, like you say, this provides a way of deflation, the richest on the server will have their meebles be worth a lot of money, and the poor people will start to get poorer.

 

If you want to argue illogically then I would counter that with "all Meebles would be worth more therefore the poor would get more bang for their buck. Since I have chosen for my arguements to remain rational, all Meebles are worth the same so theoretically speaking every player still owns the same amount of the economy, even I f it's less than 1%. All currency will increase in value equivalently. (Why you think only people who are rich be impacted by deflation? I have no idea) Their prior financial situation will not be affected.

Please keep in mind that this was a part of the old meepshop that functioned fantastically and any concerns you are having are disproven because this was a feature in the past and we had no complications with it.

 

None that you would notice. You posted before that godsets are about 100k each which shows me you know very little about the current meepcraft eco. This will negatively act on the current eco which is why I am still a huge -1
If you want /fix get elite.

 

Did adventure capitalist go to your head? I don't remember professional economic strategists ever having time to play minecraft. All I am saying is that it worked in the past. Since I have been on these forums discussing this economy long before you even joined I really don't appreciate you questioning my knowledge of the meepcraft economy. Yes I am still getting caught up to date but I understand the concepts of balance in the economy far more than you do. Beside that, I believe that you were not here when the fix sign was implemented so you are most likely ignorant to the fact that the economy was in a severely worse state at that time than it is now, but even then it worked. It's not your fault that you weren't here though, I joined when strength potions were enabled and most of the experienced members who were here in the terrarium prior to the one that was in place at the time that I joined, where strength potions were disabled, had a strong arguement, being, that I was still fairly new to the community and "I wasnt't here when strength potions were disabled, therefore I didn't know how much more fun it was without them.) You know what, they were right, pvp is much more intense and skill based rather than whoever lands the first hit wins, which is how it goes with strength 2. So my advice to you is to trust the more experienced players who have gotten to know the ins and outs of this server, on topics such as this, that refer to precedent features of meepcraft.

And don't bring ranks into this like the amount of money you spend on a server distinguishes how well you know it.

 

I have no idea what you are trying to say with this and it only shows that you are rude.

All I am saying is that this would only worsen the economies current state buy even lowering the cost of major items that I have already listed above.

I have been on the server long enough to know its economy extremely well from experience. You're stating more opinions and what you need to make a suggestion work is facts.

If it worked then why is it not here now? I know that this will not work and will not be implemented in the way you want it to.

Why would I trust someone just because they say something will work but is not giving any facts or reasons why this would work? I have listed several reasons why this would only negatively effect the current eco lowering value of already low items.


Another question is.. Would you even be making this thread if you were elite?

 

+1 This is a great thing to bring back! I never used it much myself but I remember it very well! It would be a great way to balance out /fix ability! If you are not elite+ and want to fix your god stuff you have to pay 4k meebles. If you don't want to pay meebles to fix stuff you pay $80 for elite.

 

+1 This will help pull some money out of the Economy.

 

Denied! Something similar is being implemented.
