    Suggestion: Add an option to pay 200% of the current server price.

    Edit: As I have found some new information regarding how donations work, I will be changing this a little.

    I suggest that you could have mutable levels of donations that do nothing. Say a "15 usd donation" that would also have a "15 usd donation+" and a +2, +3, +4... all valued at 15 usd. This way you can still donate to the server even if you bought all possible donations, but still get metals for them. End of edit.



    Reason: I think that some people (like myself) would like to claim they have donated more to the server without buying Eco dollars.

    Any Other Information: This suggestion is/was made completely out of self interest.

    Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: N/A Buycraft may be it, but I would think this is something the staff could do with nothing extra.

    This is possible with buycraft from my experiences.

    Edit: sorry, I read this as sell and not buy.

    Guys, guys, I know this might sound crazy, but has it ever occurred to you that you can buy more than one donation feature and spend more money on the server?

    Buycraft has a feature that lets you set a "minimum" price and anyone who wants to can easily increase the price. Not many will actually do that, though. (At most a few extra bucks to get the most out of that giftcard, but that doesn't really affect anything. Or someone who has $17 to spend, and buys something for $15 and decides to add the other $2 just for the heck of it.)

    I don't see a downside to that, so.. Sure.. +1.

    Are you saying that you want to only donate $20 for the slimeball/$ tag, but instead get the redstone/$$ medal for the same price?

    No no no, I am (trying) to say this.

    Donation A costs 20 usd.

    Person A wants to buy donation A.

    Person A also wants to spend MORE than 20 usd on donation A, but does not want more donations.

    Person A can buy Donation A for more than 20usd, but get nothing more other than the tags/metals. Edit: just re-read this and I thought this could be a little misleading, you would also get donation A.

    The tags are calculated based on the worth of donation features. So making it optionally twice as expensive won't actually affect your in-game tags. I am uncertain about donation medals on the forum, but I reckon it follows a similar system.
    What you're suggesting literally cannot affect in-game tags, and possible not the donation medals either.
    All it does is let you pay a bit extra. Which I already explained is a good thing based on what I said in my previous post.

    Okay, then do you think adding something like a "useless" section of donations on the shop that can be re-bought would work?

    Example: in this new section of "useless donations", you can buy a donation that's value is 15 usd for 15 usd. there would also be other intervales say, 20, 30,40,50,100... usd. you can re-buy these to count up for more donations.

    Something I just thought of regarding this, what if you wanted to buy a donation/s from a player with ecd for an increased price, how could you confirm they used that price and not a lower price? They could use that and get away with a few free usd worth of payments.

    We call those "Pets" and "Trails" :p

    Seriously though, as more servers are released there will be more features you can get (though I do believe they won't be reflected via tags or medals, at least not soon.

    True, but I was think (if possable) rebuyable ones that do reflect on players taga or medals.

    The system isn't designed to have rebuyable features represented in tags / medals. There's a reason why rebuyable features (ecodollars/mcmmo levels/custom tag) don't count towards your total for tags or medals.

    There could be multiple levels of the "Useless Feature $15" though, so people can get "Useless Feature $15Plus4" and so on. Not infinitely rebuyable, but with multiple levels would cover just about every case. I don't see these used often, but if they aren't hard to set up, then it might be worthwhile.

    Theres an option in buycraft to simply give a "donation" to the server. Meaning, the user enters the desired price and that is how much is donated.
