If it was needed, there would be no question and it would be put into the game, but its not. It has nothing to do with the effort required.

It's very easy to argue that realms, realm credits, and teleports aren't "needed" either.

Although I could be wrong, I think what Intelli's trying to do with this server is enhance the vanilla Minecraft experience by only adding things that will hugely benefit the players without severely modifying how the game is played. To support this I'll explain how each each of the current additions to the server support this. Realms do this by hugely reducing a player's ability to grief while being somewhat difficult to obtain, and realm credits do it by rewarding players for doing things other than gathering valuable resources as efficiently as possible. Each of the teleport commands also does this very well by enabling players to easily access a few important areas and trade with one another without allowing them to rely entirely on teleportation for transportation. Player created shops would also have this effect.

So, I think just because something isn't "needed" would be a very poor reason not to add it. As I've already listed the numerous positive effects this system could have on the server in previous posts, I really think that the main factor involved is, in fact, the effort that would be required to create it. However, if anyone else has any other reasons that this shouldn't be added, still feel free to post them here so they may be discussed. Otherwise, keep showing support with positive feedback and hope that it gets noticed.

I never said that since it is unneeded that it should not be added to the game. Please read what I wrote again.

After rereading it I see you chose the word won't instead of shouldn't for a different reason than I originally thought, and you're probably right about the fact that it won't be added, due to the whole "too chocolatey" reason, even though from what I can tell it'll only make the server better without reducing the feel of vanilla gameplay. I still think though, that maybe if the idea receives enough positive feedback from the right people it may at least be considered, and so far just about all the feedback gotten has been positive, it just hasn't been in the overwhelming amounts I was hoping for. Although, that could always change.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

In short I say thumbs up for this idea

My thoughts:
+ easier to sell a small amount of stuff
+ no staff needed in place all the time
+ easier to keep local shops running (if it's easier to sell/buy stuff)
+ local prices
+ you can still use the system used today if wanted to
(+) probably less chatspam
- much work to implement?

I like the idea, but I would prefer it being a chest or even a large chest. Where you can place your items, set price for each and let's say with a right mouse click you'll buy the item, of course checking that you have the credits for it. Now that would be awesome and handy. Just like you can buy the land, the admins/mods could set up an area where players could buy a 1x1 slot for a chest to sell stuff in or hell 2x1 for a large chest. Just trying to evolve the idea.

I think most servers do it with the combination of a chest and sign, but I'd be fine with whatever's easier to make. A system like that with a chest would be more compact and efficient for selling multiple items, but I'd be glad if anything at all got added. Although I don't think something that requires mod or admin attention will or should be added. I was thinking more along the lines of something completely done through player input within their own realms.

Yeah well like I said, just evolving the idea, but that players creating their own boxes within their own realms seems like a efficient enough idea. Like it, only thing I'm looking for is a way to sell much stuff without using too much space.

I'm going to go ahead and bump this ancient thread of mine, as I would still love to see something like this implemented and there seemed to be a decent amount of support for it. Plus, as I'm rereading these posts, I'm seeing that the main reason people seemed to think this was a bad idea was due to "chocolate." However, since this thread it's become apparent that Minerealm is ready to head in a direction much more open to this sort of thing.

So please, everyone, share your thoughts.

My ideal system would be player run shops where people could put stuff in chests marked with signs, and when non-owners open them and take stuff out the owner gets paid.

No no no no no. We should not add this. At all.

[RyGuy130]

No no no no no. We should not add this. At all.

Would you care to explain why? As far as I can tell, it would have a purely positive effect on the server.

Intelli doesn't use other plug-ins. He only uses the ones he makes

I'm aware of this. It's the reason why this thread is titled, "iConomy Style Shop System," instead of simply iConomy.
