1+ love this idea , we need exp price up!

 

I like the idea a lot. However, I think it would become very "untraditional" and annoying. I do like this thought though. +0.5

 

Kuke. I sort of like your idea, and though I don't really pay much attention to the exp market, I think you may have indicated something more important.

Demand.

Obviously we don't have a way to chart this because we don't have enough tools and data, but if the demand is below a certain threshold, it may not matter much what you do to the supply besides severely reducing it.

I don't know what could be done to increase purchase demand. We really need more things that need exp... minecraft doesn't really supply much else... and I don't know what a server mod could offer that would not require the users to use a mod as well (which would hinder new users from joining with ease). ...

What if the required exp for enchantments and combinations were increased? Or, I remember in WoW that some trade materials could only be made so often because of a global cooldown... perhaps after Z number of exp used by a user, enchantments and combinations require even more exp.

As for supply, you could create a bell curve system, where a user can start earning exp at rate X in a server cycle. And as exp is earned, the earning rate decreases through the server cycle for all forms of exp gain. If gain > 825, then X=X*.75, and so on. This way, it may only be economical for a user to earn say, Y exp a day before it slows to a crawl.

 

Stop server sale of exp.
If you do that, you need something to replace server offering of exp.
This idea has floated around before -- but make another pvp game mode where participants can get small amounts of exp for defeating mobs, or get exp for defeating other players. This way exp totally needs to be worked for in some fashion, and the price of 'exp shop' items is now independent, and the server still provides a fun way to get exp.

I'm thinking of what could be an item that people would want to buy from a 'Exp Shop'...
A lot of people enjoy fly... What about a pair of shoes, or a hand item, that allows temporary flight, and once it is first used, a countdown begins till the item's expiration?

What about warp signs, or perhaps some kind of sign that moves people across a distance? Doesn't need to be an alternative to portals, maybe it may only work within a certain radius... work out the rules and logistics surrounding this later... i'm just throwing out ideas that I wish were on server..

Or even an expendable item that uses tp+ functions for a distance?

A sign that acts like a piston, but is not a piston item? I think someone told me that pistons and hoppers and such things caused lag... could a sign take their place?

What about a block that is like bedrock, so that non-town member people can't destroy it, but it can be destroyed by those who have perms to a town -- this way, say if I wanted to protect a horse, I can use a 1 block thick enclousre, and not fear non-town ppl from breaking in and quickly clicking with a lead, or using tp+ to jump inside at a cursor point.

 

idk how many users have used up all their 16 town buys and claims,

but what about a very expensive town establishment or claim with exp? and if you get a town made with this stuff, the only way to get features, would be to use exp as well.

 

I like it

 

Looks like the EXP prices are rising back up slowly.

 

I can think of a few things. One would be spawn eggs for things other than horses or villagers. Regardless of whether they can be used, people will want to collect them. Unobtainable ebooks that can't be used, for the same reason. If there's some way to do it, add a "Wizard/Witch" or "Sorcerer" forum medal that costs not just an insane about of exp, but a ludicrous amount.

 

Kuke rarely makes a suggestion, but when he does, it's usually good.

I think this is an extremely creative and intelligently thought out way of increasing Exp price. Bravo Kuke. Kudos to you.

I entirely agree with this suggestion.

 

Agreed, builders CANNOT get exp easily without wasting hours setting up a spawner and then risking someone break it to place water.
I would love to see this +1

 

I want to wait more time to see what happens with the exp market after 1 or 2 more resets. I think the price is still volatile because of all the exp that was stored before the mining changes.

 

Agreed
