Market Update

I am making this post to inform you all that I will be removing the ability to sell iron and gold ingots to the market next sunday. Gold and iron ore will still be sell-able to the market, so those who get their iron and gold from mining will not be effected by this. This decision wasn't made lightly and an overwhelming majority of our staff agrees with it. We feel having players just afk to collect iron/gold is not only wrong, but takes away from the community aspect of the server. I also plan to go through the market and examine the prices of current items and see what i should increase or decrease seeing as the prices have pretty must stood since we started the server and things within the game have changed.

Please keep all your questions or complaints to this thread as I don't want the support or suggestions areas getting blown up with posts.

EDIT: Protection stones have been reduced in price.

Too bad I never sold iron ingots. I can never be assed to smelt it. Also it sells more as ores.

Cmon, it ruins the aspect of the server. People play on this server to get rich and have a lot of money.

Well look ok... THis completely ruins my time on the server.. i dont always afk but ive put hard work into my iron and gold farm.. and now i cant make any money of it.. WHo cares about economy... people still join the server.. doing this might loose a few..

Here was my idea.. keep ingots but make Iron Ingots: 15 each and gold still 35 each

i'm sad and shocked to hear this news D: D: D:

PEOPLE JUST WANNA GET RICH... BEACAUSE FRANKLY ITS FUN... WHO CARES ABOUT ECONOMY ... IF PEOPLE ARE HAVING FUN... KEEP IT THAT WAY? WE DONT HAVE TO DO THIS...

I do hope this desiciion gets changed/revoked...

Many people have iron/gold farm which they have put... many hours into making.... now they are deemed pointless.. people who have payed for access to iron farms are now unhappy and the owners cant give refunds.. this creates another load of problems due to this...

We're talking about minecraft as real life.. but in reality its a fun game where you try to get rich...

I hope this gets read and thought over.
Thanks

I think you've missed the point of Minecraft here....

Also, reread the first post if you don't understand why we are doing this as it's been a long time coming.

[Mattkkk12345]

Well actually tobs.. i think your missing the point in some aspect...

People either want to build or pvp but others like to do a mix including making money..

My aim.. to become rich and play with others.

Some affected some not.

I really don't get what damage it is causing at... all

Uh oh.. AFKING. dun dun dun! Let people play the game how they wish to play? Why don't staff like it.. at least players don't bother them xD

also about the money thing.. i dont do it on other servers cause i dont play any others

Can't we just make the prices of gold/iron conciderably lower. Origional
Iron: 25$ each
Gold:75$ each

why cant we have it like
Iron:15 each
Gold:25 each

or less... i just wish there was some value of ingots at the market
