    Suggestion: Let users apply for a 'warp credit' for $120,000

    Reason: I'm sure it will have many uses (such as advertising, setting a warp outside someone's town, etc) and it will take money out of the economy

    Any Other Information: In the application for the warp credit, players will decide the name of their warp, which world their warp will be in as well as the X and Z coordinates of the warp. The warp will automatically take someone to the highest block. Players will not be allowed to set warps in other players towns without their permission. There will also be a limit to how many warps someone can buy.

    Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: This would probably be a custom addition

    I don't think this is possible with essentials at the moment, so it'd have to be a custom addition yes.
    -1 from me, it just seems like this would be a bit overpowered and current warp owners would be getting the short end of the stick.

    If anyone has any suggestions that might make it better or a bit less overpowered please post them!

    So basically spend 20USD at ~6k per USD, so 120k, for 3-5 warps worth 75k each accumulating to 225k-375k? That... seems to make server warps useless as they are just expensive compared to that. :/

    I think a better and more practical idea would be to make a town feature app for adding a new warp to your town, at the cost of 75k

    I think it should be 1-3 or maybe add a new teleportplus3 feature?

    Because most people seem to think this is way too overpowered for a $20 feature, I've edited the suggestion to make it 1 warp instead of 3-5. That's 120k for the ability to set warps (worth 75k), but people will be able to delete/remake their warps with different names in different locations.

    Then what would be the point of adding it if you can just apply for town warps?

    Maybe if it was made like $50 or $100 permission to use /setwarp could be given.
    However even being so expensive it could be abused so easily... :/

    I don't like the idea of allowing players to pay real money directly for something that the server charges ECD for.

    I can tell you personally that this won't happen. I do believe this falls well under the category of "administration command which makes no sense to sell".

    -1 for many reasons.

    a) hard to track who types in /setwarp CrazySwagMaster1Sucks (or other, much, much more butthead warp names)
    b) it'd take less money out of economy then making them apply with ecd
    c) it would replace /back or add an extra home... There are already too many ways to get around.
    d) the list of warps is already massive. adding user's custom ones to the list of town warps would be.... not fun.

    Because this would be a location warp, not a town warp.

    The idea of giving players /setwarp is very unpopular, so I've completely changed the suggestion to applying for a 'warp credit'. Does anyone like this idea more?

    I mean the thought is in the right place, but with everyone being able to /warp to existing warp locations for free and the fact that you can buy multihome cheaper than $120k ecd... what's the point of this? I mean for less than $120k ecd, you can have a warp set at a location of your choice in your town. The people without a town can just purchase (or have someone else purchase multihome for them) cheaper than $120k ecd.

    I'm sorry, I fail to see the benefit in this suggestion as players can already do things similar to this... if not in a better way... at a cheaper cost.

    A warp is accessible to everyone, while a home only to yourself and a tpcoord only to teleportplus2. So, if I want a specific area of my town to be accessible to everyone, I can't.
    That being said, I think that the ability to place warp yourself would be overpowered. Also, warp should not be as flexible as homes (e.g. ability to set, delete, change a home with no effort) because other players will use them too and therefore moving a warp should cost money. So the ideal solution would be the ability to apply for additional town warps paying in ecd, just like town warps.

    Just simply apply for a warp via the Town Features Application. There's no real need for this.
