The reason that the prices were about 750 a set was because of an exp crash caused by mainly by mining, so no we do not need to change it back.

 

I personally think the higher prices are good. With the price of exp as low as it was, eff 5 tools were selling for only a few thousand. If we forget about msword/star tools for a minute (as these are only used by a smaller percentage of players), the 'max' tools for the vast majority of players are eff 5. I personally think that the 'max' tools shouldn't be obtainable for 30minutes of farming/mining etc. I think that it is much better that they are something which take a little more saving for. Even at 8-10k for eff 5 tools at the moment it doesn't take very long to be able to afford them.

This is meant to be a 'hardcore' economy server after all.

 

No.

 

I say reverse the exp change only once the average price for xp sets is really high (somewhere like 5-10k).

 

I would say raise mayor but overall don't raise at all. Keep exp for the rich also it benefits the poor. You can find a XP Spawner and make a lot more money. Something like 10k from exp a hour.

 

Xp.. Expensive?? Ha, hardly. Let the prices keep trying to rise.

 

So... here is a crazy idea. Temporarily remove all possible forms of making exp. Once the price shoots through the roof and exp gets used up, we put back exp making to the normal level that it was a few months back.

...Yeah that was a lot better sounding in my head.

 

No.

 

I doubt it will get that high unless Andrew removes exp completely. Even now it's cooling down, at 2k a set now and I expect it to continue to decrease because exp does not have a supply:demand ratio that is favorable, there is simply too much and not enough usage, especially when the majority of presidents+ Use star tools, there is no need to enchant.

 

The only need to enchant is for fishing rods, hoes, using books, or making pumpkin axes. Really it, unless you're adding unbreaking or fortune or silk or something to a tool

 

I for one think it would be interesting if the server were to stop exp gain for a month or so. Then have it so that only mobs drop exp, and even then it's 1/4 the current drop rate. Having cheap access to the best tools allows for more users to farm/mine quicker which increases the flow of money into the server. Back when I first joined, it was difficult for me to get my hands on an eff 4 pick, and now even fresh builders can get one in a matter of hours.

 

Hehehe, those were the days... 50k per set... Man, it's been a while...

 

Yep I loved the 40k+ per set..
