I would love to see the plug-in you had in mind because almost all of the plug-ins I know of create money and that just wont work with ECC.

 

-1 Wouldn't this just put money into the economy at a rapid rate? We'd need to raise the price of Res, Mayor, etc. if a bunch of noobs lived off of their job money. Our user-user jobs are just fine.

 

+1 it would help builders rank up faster

 

Ummm... Builders aren't supposed to rank up fast. It's supposed to be a challenge.

 

This plugin would be great! It'll give more ways of earning cash.

 

More Ways of earning cash means increase in the Economy, Builders will rank up to res to fast which means they will be seen as a trusted member, eg. Res are more likely to be accepted for Loans, Donation Selling but with money making ideas like this Builders will just play it for about 1 day and become a trusted member to probably scam someone.

most people get frustrated when they cant rank up and this would be a great way to have more players online

 

It rules out the people who don't take the server seriously.

 

im pretty sure more than half the builders take the server seriously whats the point of trying to make money if im not gonna take it seriously

 

Still, the jobs plugin makes things TOO easy. We're not the #1 HARDCORE Economy Server for nothing.

 

+1
Is there a way to manipulate the plug-in so that there are checks and balances? Maybe people with certain jobs sell things at higher prices than others, but on whole prices would change very little.

And more to the point, Hardcore shouldn't mean mind-numbing mining and farming. Jobs, if done correctly could invigorate the economy, and draw in more people.

I've played with this plugin before. It has a seriously negligible effect on the economy. We're talking pennies for fishing, brewing, mining ore, cutting wood, etc.. and a limit to applicable jobs.

I think it's more useful when you stick to one skill as the cash bonuses increase as your level in the profession increases. Mining a coal ore may earn you $.02 at lvl 1 Miner, but $.10 at lvl 50. It creates incentive for specializing and grinding, while not providing too much of an immediate incentive if you figure out early on you don't like that kind of grinding.

 

The only way I can really think of to make this an acceptable plugin is if the money you could make were to be incredibly needed so low that it really wouldn't be worth it. This way people can't live off of the money from the plugin. A positive I see from this is that if it weren't needed to low, builders would rather make money from that then from other users making the users with the job offer have to do their own work if they want money. If the plug-in were to go into effect then the amount of money able to be earned, I think, should be a crappyier way to make money then say farming, that way things on the server don't change to much.

 

No. I don't like it. And i don't want it.


I've used this plugin elsewhere, It's not good.

It's just gonna be laggy, buggy, economy sinking, and practically useless. We don't need more money, and we don't need to make it easier to get money.

This is hardcore economy, if you want softcore there are plenty of other servers out there for you to try.

 

Assuming you are talking about this one, I personally have used it and I hate it. It's too confusing and I don't think ECC really needs it.
