I think it's a good suggestion!!

 

So yes, this suggestion is mostly about reducing scam, and yes, scam is bad. But if there is no scam, the economy will just fall apart. We all dislike scam, but in reality, we can have it occasionally. I mean, the suspect gets in trouble and everything, but when/if someone loses an eff7/msword, it helps the economy because it has the person go take more money out of the economy.
Sure, what I just said sounds like a horrible thing, but it's the truth.

Find some other way to help the economy if scamming is prevented with a feature like this.

Yes.

It won't be "hardcore" without losing some as well as gaining some.

There's always the lottery, but even that may not be enough...

This is an awesome suggestion, I must say. However, as we often see with many suggestions is lag issues.

Trades happen frequently, and while I'm no expert on this kind of stuff, I think we best wait for kuke's prospective.

Wrong! After a scam is over, people are unambiguously worse off than before, and while the quality of their play experience does in fact recover, given enough time, they still are not better off having experienced the scam. This is because resource destruction is always, by definition, bad for an economy. Economies rely on trade between individual parties, where the object of the trade is preserved instead of destroyed. By destroying resources, one reduces the chance of potential trade; thereby, reducing the GDP. And, in the rare event that the GDP does increase, like in the case of grief, the utility (how enjoyable the game is) will surely decrease. Utility is by far more valuable than the economy, because the economy relies on the players enjoying it. Therefore, in no case, is destruction of property ever beneficial.

 

Although I agree with the most of what you're saying, but some of what you're saying just isn't right. The economy is also reliant on "trading" with the server. All the money comes and goes into the server, that's how the money is managed. In the case of a scam the scammer can either stay banned or work to return the tool. If the user stays banned then eventually his stuff will be cleared. Money/inventory/enderchest will be cleared. and the tool may disappears. In the end, an item of great worth was permanently removed from the server and this in turn slows down inflation.

I do agree that the economy relies on players enjoying it and destruction of such valuable property would not ever be beneficial. I just didn't agree with a part of what you said. :b

 

I wasn't talking about money, I was specifically talking about resources, like star tools and similar. Without the star tools, money is not 'traded' with the server, because the goods are not produced due to lack of resources. Don't confuse lack of trade and deflation, because they are dissimilar. Deflation is a change in the purchasing power of money, whereas lack of trade is an absence of goods. You can't deflate an economy by removing the amount of goods in trade, but instead you can deflate an economy by changing the value of those goods.

If one attempts to deflate an economy by destroying the means of production, then he would actually succeed at decreasing its size. This is where the confusion comes from, because the lack of work can cause a deflation-like effect. If less people can trade with the server, then the server will be creating less money; however, this is not deflation, but instead is a reduction in the size of the economy, the number of people employed, and the diversity of the employed. It is like proposing that we cut off the hands of poor people, so they can't produce goods; thereby, making goods worth more. Again, not the same as deflation.

 

@kukelekuuk00

Kind of similar to this case, but a little different.

 

I agree with what you've said here, but as people have said countless times, money is better out of the economy, so it can be worked on to produce more, then again, losing more.

Is this possible to code/make?

 

Did you make this glooble?
