But, but, your only doing this because you have buying tons of gold, and then when the price increases your going to make a ton! although I do like the idea overall, and the facts add up.
I only started buying Gold Ingots way after this suggestion was made. It doesn't matter about other people, the facts add up like you said. Like I already mentioned to thecreator, player market shouldn't affect the server prices of items.
It has nearly 1000 views, 70 posts, and has been on the front page of the suggestion forum for over a month and it still hasn't been looked at by wewin and andrew. I think it requires some attention.
Either are pumpkin prices, yet they are looked at and rejected or accepted very quickly. I feel like the server just doesn't care about mining, I would like my suggestion to be accepted or rejected and not left ignored, majority of suggestions which have a lot of support are added or rejected by andrew. This post has so much support and no one has any negative reasons why it shouldn't be added, if you can explain why this shouldn't be added please do. I and everyone else, can see no negatives, so unless there are negatives why shouldn't this be added.
I do have one reason why it shouldn't be added. NO ONE USES GOLD! It's used a little (nuggets) in brewing, but besides the armor/tools it's only used in clocks and rails. Basically it's only decoration. The market usually goes on a rarity/demand scale. The higher the rarity and the demand, the higher the price. Currently gold is pretty rare in minecraft. But the usage hasn't made up for the rate it's being found. It's being mined faster then it's being used. Aka, you suddenly have tons and tons of it, with nothing to do with it. No one wants it. And it's piling up. If it was impossible to sell gold to the server, prices would dump into the few dollars range. The only thing holding it up is the server price. And now so many people have stocked up on gold because they think this will go through. Changing gold price would be like throwing a bomb into a cache of gunpowder. BOOM! Matty is tycoon now! Sorry, if you can knock my idea down, feel free, that was the last (and only) reason i disagree. Other then all that, i see no reason why not to accept.
I have sold all my Gold Ingots apart from a few stacks of blocks. There is a chance Gold is actually getting less common in the economy as people /sell hand Gold as well as use it for brewing and God apples. If you got rid of /sell hand for iron or lapis the price would dump just the same. Mining materials need a /sell hand just like farming materials why should they be treated differently. Prices are not judged on a rarity/demand scale they are judged on money per hour, where mining is quite a bit less than farming methods. I originally chose out Gold Ingots because they seems to make the least every mining trip, apart from diamonds maybe depending on your luck. You claim I am knocking down you idea, I am not, I am counter arguing. Big Difference. I am giving a reason why not just saying no. That is what you are supposed to do on the suggestions thread it is part of it.
i say gold needs to go up and i really think that iron should drop for the simple fact that i can get almost 2 stacks of iron ore before i usually find like 5 gold ores +1
Yup, 3-4 stacks of gold blocks won't do much... Lets assume you have 4 stacks of gold blocks. That's 256 blocks. That's 2,304 ingots. Right now, at 10 dollars a piece, thats 23,040 dollars. If they went to 12 dollars a piece, that's 27,648 dollars. If they went were you wanted them to, say, $20, that would be 46,080 dollars. You would make a nice sum of money. Boom, your tycoon
