    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Forum ECD Price Adjustment
    What are you suggesting:
    I am suggesting that, although the forum ecd medal requirement was just doubled along with other ranks and such, that it should either be lowered back down to 10 million ECD or at least 15 million ecd.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    The only point in getting the forum ecd medal is to get the collectors prestige, and right now to get that prestige it would cost roughly 45 million ecd.

    Diamond Collector : 1m <- market price
    Nether Star Collector : 4.5m <- new market price of 1300 per with voting change
    Emerald Collector : 10m <- roughly less than 3000 per emerald block, which is market price as well.
    14 Mojang Heads : 100k
    50 unique spawn eggs : roughly 500k
    14 unique star/magic tools : if you were to do it in the most ideal way, around 6.5m

    So, even without the forum ecd medal being added to this prestige, it is already almost 23m if you got everything at market price, which is hard enough. Comparing this to another prestige like, the ecolegend prestige, which is 18,560,000 ECD, it doesn't seem reasonable to myself that a prestige that helps with +3% sell hand bonus cost close to 50 million ecd.

    With that being said, prestiges are meant to be hard to obtain, as they are end game prestiges. That's why the forum ecd medal is essential, but I think that having the forum ecd medal set at 20 million ecd seems pretty unreasonable as it makes it an almost unobtainable goal for anyone that doesn't already have the prestige. Considering the up side of getting a mythic for around, 30, 40 million ecd, most people would rather get that than get a measly +3% sell hand bonus, and working to get it should be hard, but it shouldn't be this hard imo.

    I think a balance of either 10m or 15m for the forum ecd would overall benefit all users, as it seems a bit more obtainable than the massive 20 million cost that it is set at right now. Although i did see the reasoning behind raising other application prices, i believe that this one should have either stayed the same or should not have doubled in price as 10 million is a lot for the regular player in itself.

    personally due to inflation and how the economy is, its a fair price, prestiges are not suppoed to be easy,
    it would also discredit those already purchased it for 20m - if this was to happen i hope to see those who paid 20m refunded the diffrence
    but other then that i kinda agree that 15m is a good fair price.


    edit --- after thinking about this for a while i have decided I agree the price should be a little lower then 20m
    thats alot of money for the total rank - althought u can get the mojang crate in one shulker from me at /warp station4 for just 50k! ;)

    u gotta grind hard for this crate prestige and i found it a big challange so a little discount wont change much for the grind

    I'm going to +1 this because I feel like there are some prestiges that nobody will even attempt anymore because of prestige shops. I'm honestly still an advocate for making prestiges more appealing to obtain; I personally don't attempt prestiges when I play since I need like max prestige +mythic to beat prestige shops, so why would I waste my money on a prestige like this rn.

    This is a really well thought out and written suggestion and earns a +1 from me.

    Keeping the new collector crate changes in mind and the increase in nether star price/value due to voteshop changes, I believe that the change in price for this application is much needed.

    The 14 magic tools/armor that would now be needed would be :
    Magic Pick, Magic Shears, Magic Bow, Magic Xbow, Magic Shovel, Magic Axe, Magic Hoe, Magic Pvp Sword, Magic Armor (4 Pieces), additional magic tool (magic rod, melon sword, or magic item)

    Since nether star prices are now around 1300 per, the prices of these tools have now gone up and I estimate that the price to get the 14 magic tool medal would now be increased from around 6.5 million to 10 million ecd +. This is partly in fact because of the new rule of only magic tools allowed to complete this medal and the increase in nstar price.

    Additionally, this crate now has to include either a magic rod, magic melon sword, or a magic item as this is the only possible way to have 14 unique magic tools/armor/items. Magic rods and melon swords go for upwards of 10 million ecd, so it would be smarter to go for a magic item, but magic items have increased in price from 1m to 2-4 or even upwards of 5 million ecd because of the booster feature.

    Because of all these new additions and changes, I believe this suggestion is still necessary and even more relevant.

    I agree with this for a whole different reason, it can be quite difficult to save up 20mil before the tax man yeets part of your balance into oblivion

    Forum ECD Medal now only requires 15,000,000 ECD to acquire the medal. This change has been made live everywhere.

    The two users who applied for the medal since the 10mill -> 20mill change have been refunded the difference
