I think landscaper should be removed and world edits back to normal

 

i mean really i no the server needs money but this is pushing it i have towns i need to work on no way in hell will i do it by hand if this doesn't change i think this will be it for me the server has just changed to much from when i started 1 year ago dont get me wrong there has been some really good changes but this no sorry.. at least let us do world cuts

 

the reason i choose world edits over builders is because most ppl help for 4 mins then leave and world edit prices could be increased.... Also when you have a town full of abandoned houses and lwcs it would take soo long to get every single lwc removed because they dont do whole town removals so there for you cant rebuild towns if you ever choose to. if it is a money issue i see many more ways the server could make money at least let us do world cuts world fills idc but cuts yes

 

ive tried whole town lwc removals before they said no also using workers is much more annoying because it takes soo long and for people who just like to build i find this annoying and what if you have a ton of water under your town ?... or the only flat space is the water what do you do then take 4 months to fill it in?

 

I agree with this

 

WorldEdits are a privilege.
Lots of people started getting WorldEdits, therefore, andrew turned it into a donator service.

This will not change.

 

Likely not.

 

That 1 being Kuke, Andrew, and probably all the staff. Its not worth arguing over (not saying you were, just saying where its heading), but I do have one suggestion.

Make it so that Landscapers could somehow sell services.

 

This probably has less to do with getting more money for the server (it's quite the niche donation feature) and more to do with reducing Andrew's workload. While I'm sure he's not opposed to more donations, you can be equally sure that he'd be even happier if nobody ever buys Landscaper and he never has to do a worldedit again.

In any case, this "feature" is absolute garbage. I understand that doing worldedits is a pain in the ass (especially given the current lack of a decent fly mod), but raising worldedit prices and then within days making it donation-only at an additional cost of $30 USD while adding absolutely zero advantage is going to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. This feature needs to include either a free or at least cheap worldedit once a month in order to even approach being worthwhile. Or as is suggested here, reduce the USD price of the feature itself. As it stands most will feel (and rightfully so) that they're paying for nothing.

Of course if I am right and this donation is intended primarily to curtail worldedits as opposed to raising donations, Andrew can simply leave it as is. Few will buy it, he'll do a couple worldedits a week at most, his workload will be reduced, and the rest of us will lose an incredibly powerful and useful privilege we had come to rely on. (Not all worldedits are for clearing towns - how long would it have taken hired workers to clear the 25x180x65 [i.e., 300,000 blocks] hole I had cut for my farm? Or the three full 200x200 towns for Wolvie's pixel art museum? Impossible.)

 

If I may, perhaps keep andrew's server money high, keep his work load at a minimum, and make te donation feature useful. Make it so that you can apply for other people to get a world edit through your feature. The employer of the landscaper would post saying they approve of this application on the forums.
Realistically there is no good solution. More landscapers means more possible workloads for AndrewKM, so lowering the price isn't a good idea. My idea has the same problem, it just makes the donation more like investigator. Removing it causes, again, a bigger workload. The current way it is, is the most effective way and best for AndrewKM. Besides, a world edit team seems like a cheaper and only less effective system.
