Lower the voting prize

Hi guys it's me I was just thinking that the voting prize has only changed 4000 meebles since before the economy was reset (it used to be 8k), and now that the economy is doing pretty poorly, we should probably have the voting prize a bit lower. It doesn't seem right that some of the things in the vote crate are only a little more valuable than the 4000 meebles that you get from voting. Those things are rare and should be worth a lot more than the voting prize, not just a meager amount more. That way people will want to vote to get these prizes because they are worth so much and they are rare.

With the current voting amount you can make a full diamond set of armour. You should have to work a lot more for that.

It's not like there's that many people voting in the first place, so the idea that it's an insentive for people to vote so that we get to the top of the server list isn't really practical. People will still want to vote because of these new voting crate prizes that (should) be worth more than the voting money itself.

Thanks

 

I come on everyday to make enough money to cover my town taxes. I really count on that 4k to help me attain that goal. I don't make out like a bandit on this server by any means as it is not that easy to make meebles. Well it is easy to make them but not any amount that will break the economy. My life has gotten really busy and its hard for me to put the time in to make meebles. I come on to vote and make enough to cover my taxes, if this was lowered my town would probably fall as I just don't have the time I used to have for minecraft.

 

same goes for me.

 

I understand your reasoning behind this, but I must disagree. Things like this make it much harder for "casual" players to keep themselves afloat.

The whole reason to nerf it is to balance the economy. However, the economy works better with more players. Taking away methods for less active players who just want to come on, talk with friends, and have a good time will make them leave, further lowering our playercount.

I discussed this with teddypines just yesterday in regards to increasing Towny plot upkeep. The same idea applies. Voting benefits the server overall, and I know most newer players use it to afford taxes in towns.

The ripple effect of this is towns would start losing more because residents can't afford taxes as easily, less players could support themselves without dedicating hours and hours every day playing, and an overall smaller economy.
