    Plan on buying this feature when it is on sale - problem solved. AUS conversion - it is not like this is the only thing our wonderful world partners "from the south" :D take a hit on.

    Based on what I understood, it allows you to toggle an explosion when you /v.

    Yes.... Literally a trail when you vanish. Now you're suggesting to double the price and make it 100 USD for A 100% COSMETIC FEATURE - A purely cosmetic feature that people don't even see you using 99% of the time shouldn't be 100 USD lmfao. You're essentially saying that a trail is worth more than fly and the ability to smelt and worth as much as the ability to use ereps or to vanish. That's bad pricing and it isn't logical nor does it make any sense.

    I only want it increased so when I do buy it (yes, I plan on buying it.), I can say I have donated more to the server. But for getting more people to buy it, I (sadly) agree with both your post, and the suggestion.

    +1 though vanish and investigator should be different packages. One person said that if they lowered it, everyone would be in vanish. I don't care about vanish, I care about the logblock.

    EDIT: Whoops, I read the thread as investigator and didn't realize you said investigator+ :(

    You're making an argument out of self-interest then - Suggestions are meant to benefit the server not just a select group of people.

    Don't know the problem with agreeing with the suggestion (You added "sadly", lol) though.

    But that "select group of people" are on the server, so they should get a say just as anyone else. Plus, how is saying "we should make this donation cheaper" not out of self interest?

    More people buying feature = more money into server = happy server = not purely self interest.

    Or...

    I want this feature = Post suggestion about lowering the cost of said feature = lowered cost of said feature = bought said feature not caring about how much the server made from it.

    Notice how I said "not purely self interest"?
    Just because there's a part of self interest doesn't mean it's only self-interest. And even then, self-interest can be justified by making a server-interest. All suggestions are out of self-interest. People want to see stuff, so they suggest it.
    But the arguments are rarely "I want this so it should happen". It's more often something like "I believe this to be a good idea that would improve the server" kind of thing. Which is not an argument out of self-interest.

    I did notice the "purely". and it could be people using that as a cover and resoning for a mcuh darker and selfish reason. and honestly, why do I get the feeling you and @UnitedStates2002 don't want people to spend more on donations? *goes off and makes a suggestion out of "self interest"*

    We already provided our reasoning to how it's beneficial to the server. You are yet to provide yours.

    Personally, I have found a better way of handling my idea and a suggestion has all ready been made for it. So my posts here regarding increasing the price have been rendered useless.

    I.. what?
    Have you understood a single thing I said?

    Why the hell would I care if people spend money or not? I've been making the point that lowering the price would result in more people buying it, thus more money going into the server. I don't even have investigator. I really couldn't care less about the price, because it wouldn't change anything for me. There is literally no self-interest in my supporting this suggestion. I argue because it makes economic sense to lower the price. It increases donations. And that is beneficial to the server.
    How hard is this to understand?
