+1, I believe that this would be a legitimate way for players with prestige to actually benefit from getting prestige. Prestige shops have now been set at max and are not being used for profit. Of course, players could find a way to still sell fish to people with higher prestige so that they could make more money, but it would be more difficult without chestshops and such that fishing may become better for higher level prestige players than for lower level prestige players. As nicit stated, it's not gonna remove the entire problem around fishing but I believe this is really a step in the right direction.

 

+1 but we can do so much more with this. Any item that has a magic item version of it should not be available in a chest shop or just outright ban prestige shops all together. It's nice to finally see the shops buying at max price though, so none of them profit.

Another idea could be to just rework prestige entirely and move away from the sell bonus aspect. Perhaps its a % off taxes or something else. Not sure, but wanted to at least throw an idea out there.

 

1. You can't tax fish. To discourage players from selling them is to encourage hoarding, which would take less out of the economy.
2. Players already hoard. For the vast majority of players, this changes nothing anyway.
3. Shulkers of fish would become a currency (because it would be easier, you forced it), again meaning they would never see taxes.
4. It wouldn't be long anyway before all prestige shop owners knew the exact worth of fish shulkers, and the trade could be done in 15 seconds.

Suggestion would have the exact opposite effect as intended. You are guidng everyone to tax avoidance and holding their hand the whole way.

I would, in fact, go even further to argue that, in bulk, this would force the sale of fish to be easier. Have you ever tried unpacking a dchest of tropical fish shulkers to sell them? I haven't, I'm poor. However, one payment of 19,244,424 and the shop owner breaking the chest sounds much more pleasasnt.

TLDR: no

Were we not told to do exactly this? Buy items and shit and stockpile to avoid tax? Andrew has said it many times in the past. Everyone who has too much ecd stockpiles something, fish just happens to be the easiest. And shouldnt people who worked their ass off for max prestige and boosted items get to enjoy that work? Personally ive spent alot more money getting my prestiges then ive earnt from my shop or saved from taxes.

 

Make Mining Great Again!

 

, not food.

Also hoarding bad.

I imagine you wanted to help the economy in some way, rather than make it worse. To make hoarding easier is not a winning strategy. Sorry :(

 

Bsqt said it best

 

To avoid making shulkers of fish tradable at a chestshop, we could also just make is so any shulker with MBT data can't be used in chestshops either. Making fishing less convenient is the way to go.

 

Simply just need to buff other money making methods.

 

Shulker trading is helpful, I know @coow_coow was selling shulkers with all the mojang heads as a bundle in a shulker. Disabling all shulkers with MBT data from chestshops is 100% not the way to go

 

@Nicit6 said it best. Put a cap on what shulkers can be sold for then. Just remove the convenience of fishing entirely. Other methods need to be more desirable.

 

oooh nooooo, im just gonna have to wait for lopp or coow or anyone else who buys fish at max price to get on and manually trade my fish for their ecd. whatever will i dooooo. i really dont understand how stockpiling and selling it without a chestshop sign is any less convenient.

I place 10 shulkers of fish, they pay for 10 shulkers and break them. soooo inconvenient

 

This suggestion doesnt affect me since im prestige 10 blah blah anyways. I am just stating that I dont see how this would change anything. people will still make the same amount. they will simply have to trade the fish in a different manner. what will this change. You say its to make it more difficult, but is this change really going to make it difficult in the end? Going from clicking a sign to placing shulkers down instead isnt really that difficult.
