Hey guys! So just starting this post off Wave was banned for ten days (RIP. He is unbanned on June 19 at 16.26) and muted until July 9. He was banned for "server and staff disrespect" by the console. Nothing more was said. So bless up for Wave. On a slightly less depressing point, I am bringing up the problem that Towny is overpriced. To the max. I know it is to make players work together, but 1k for a plot is a bit overpriced. It will just make players grind and grind! This also brings up the point of making money on the server. It is getting harder and harder this reset as the rich become richer and the poor stay poor. For example, a player has 5k. He is an Ultimate and has fly, etc. He can use this 5k to buy the resources he needs for his new house. He can also use this money to buy rare materials, and then sell them for a lot of money. Another player has just joined the server. She starts out with no money. Not $25, no money. This player wants to build a house. She mines wood, cobble, and goes down into the cave. She sells some iron to buy red clay, which she can't get. She is only losing money and resources, not gaining like the first player. So the first player (lets call him P1) wants to make a town! After investing, P1 has 9k. He makes a town, but he doesn't have enough money to make any plots. He uses his left over 1.5k to build a huge grinder to make lots of money. He can then make a sucessful town. The second player (p2) doesn't have that much money to begin with. She can't make a town, a shop, or anything because she can't buy a rank. To an extent, she has lost at AEM Network. This is my argument and my personal opinion. I am not attacking any staff or decisions, just bringing up a point. Please leave your counterarguments or agreements in the reply to the forum. Thank you!
People who have a rank, also have to grind and mine their stuff to build a house. Yes they get an amount of money because they have that rank, but if you vote you can get $400 a day. If you get a lucky vote you can get $750. And if you open your vote crate keys, you can get money as well. Before the reset it was too easy. You could get a lot of money with voting and you could sell a lot of things in the spawn shop. People had a lot of money, so they could buy the rare stuff really easy. Everything came on the market and because there was a lot of rare things in the market, the prices went down. There was no economy before the reset anymore. You could grind and get money, but everything became cheaper. And I guess that is why they made it harder to get money. If you make a town with some friends on the server who you trust, you can share the costs of it and it would be much cheaper. This is why they want to get people work together. Bring people closer to each other and work together to build a great community on the server. This is my opinion, I didn't intend to offend anyone in this post. Correct me if I'm wrong, because you can learn from each other =)
Like what @CR7Joyce said. P2 could vote, instead of making a town, why not join one first? If P2 doesn't want to join a town then make a temporary town, set it up and make it appealing for others to want to join. Some players also have grinders they are willing to share which will be an advantage to both of them. P2 can make a shop (or sell in /ah), she could sell resources/mob drops prices lower than what the /shop has. Perhaps have a donor who is willing to share his /warp , even trade items. P2 could always make auto farms as well as grinders too. Don't forget survival is supposed to be hard, if she is unable to donate, she could always try to get top voter or save up and make deals with other players.
