    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Make grinding more viable
    What are you suggesting:
    Im suggesting that ecc isnt centered around making money with magic tools. Yay magic tools are great and all but little people have access to them especially as a new comer. Something everyone can admit is that player count is lower than it has been in the past months and personally i think thats because it is just so hard to make money its just not fun anymore. Take into example mining, something that all minecraft players (hopefully) enjoy. Mining isnt as profitable as you think it would be because the server rates for minerals are so low. Ecc is supposed to be more of a player economy and recently it cant be that because of the amount of people that play is low. The market for items just has little demand because of the player count. Rank ups and town applications, which is what people are more geared toward on ecc, takes hours and hours of grinding to achieve, and my educated guess is that newer players dont really want to spend many hours just to place their first town.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    This is a good addition because player retention would potentially be much better. If there was a set way to make money outside of magic day then there would be something that you could do on the server other than hopelessly grinding for a magic tool to finally be able to make decent amounts of money. I know there are a few things that you can do like farming wheat and fishing but those methods require star tools to even be considered and star tools arent generally cheap. Overall there should be more of a goal when trying to make money other than that goal being grinding for a magic tool for your main source of income.
    Other information:
    I understand that "We do not take suggestions on the economy" however this is something that should really be considered. Ecc is losing players and it isnt as fun as it was 1-2 years ago so maybe something should be done about it. Yes, its easy just to see that someone is suggesting an economy change and deny it but if ecc was to gain more players, something needs to be changed.
    Plugin or custom addition:

    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    +1 pre 2021 reset ECC may have been super inflated but it was the most fun I've had in nearly 10 years on this server

    Some suggestions: raise pumpkin price, increase mineral price ie diamond, make cod and salmon worth more (Since magic rod doesnt catch these i dont think?), sugar cane, there could be more that im not thinking of right now. Also @ClarinetPhoenix's wandering trader with random items is a great idea that could be built off of. Maybe have a plugin or something that will randomly buy items for increased prices

    the thing about cod/salmon is Polar Bears drop a lot of those especially with magic tools so you can't raise the price too high. But making pumpkin farming and mining more viable would be cool

    Maybe increase the price or the viability of grinding markets that don’t have a magic or star tool attached, like cocoa bean farming or even magma block farming. I like what Clar is doing with Wandering Trader, and I might make a suggestion for a weekly thing with it, with an incentive maybe (that way people don’t just do magic grinding)

    Edit: I did make that suggestion, and it is a fucking doozy lol

    A wandering trader that only trades with new players for the first three days after joining ECC. Only the new people would have access to this trader to sell at maybe three times the normal rate for 72 hours. That would definitely give them a good start in grinding money. It still would make them commit to the grind but lessen the burden a bit. The amount of days could be adjusted if too many or too few.

    This trader doesn't have to have everything increased, but maybe just mining materials like stone, cobble, granite, coal, redstone, etc. I'm not even sure if such a thing is do-able, but hey, why not float the idea?

    This is a good idea, however dont just limit it to brand new players, make it a event like maybe 3 items per day have boosted sell rates, nothing crazy just something thats decent enough to spend time doing

    Because we haven't advertised since November 2021.
    There's not much else to it. We used to advertise every two months, and then suddenly we cut that due to external factors for 9 months. Now we are back at it.

    Suggestion marked as Acknowledged, we will review sale prices, but that's about it.
