ECC restricts all the cool new features... and i'm getting really annoyed with it too.

 

Some people just don't have the computer power, but hey, if you want to lose residents because your town is too laggy, that's your business.

 

Unrelated; the first day we had nether star voting, I crafted a beacon and tried to place it in my spawn shop. what a waste.

I was thinking i would have a searchlight to attract customers just like actual businesses sometimes do.

 

this right here is why there disabled you cant place them in high traffic areas cause of fps lag.

 

Well if this went through of course you would only be able to place them in your protected towns. But if you owned a town next to spawn...hmm...

 

Guys, they are not disabled because of lag...

They're disabled because they can make it so you can insta-break melons, among other things.

 

I still think they should be usable, lockable, but cost like ~200k+ to place.

 

lag comes for waiting on a player to come in and get the buff without the buff it is a ok thing

 

Kinda the point isn't it?

 

Although, this would be true, beacons would still be a great item to have placed and would look great; but you would not want a whole town filled with cheap beacons, right? So, with the high price, a town would get very few beacons and still be able to use them as a decoration.

 

Dragone,

Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to see these enabled!

 

Andrew barely thinks about the middle class or lower class people when making decisions. Yes, i said it... he looks at the rich players and sees if they could abuse this in any way and get even richer or lag the server. Like with farming, it maxes out at a certain amount with each crop, so rich players do not get too much money and ruin our Hardcore economy. Poorer players really cannot ruin the economy until they get rich, so they have the resources to do so.

 

So true

 

What is not understood on ECC is that the Capitalism will ALWAYS work to REDUCE profit. The market force will always abuse a specific industry by means of production to the point of market saturation. It is an illogical argument to assume that the rich have the ability to prevent saturation and sustain high demand in the wake of excessive supply.

Adding Beacons would only cause a reduction in the amount of money created into the economy, AND would promote new innovative industries.

 

I like that idea...
