    No support. It's your fault that you use ATMs with gold in them. Mob arena awards aren't going to just change and stop giving out gold because people with shops that use gold as a currency don't like it.

    No support. Like Anna said, you're the one who chose to use gold nuggets as a form of currency for your trade shops. Just because a few players do this doesn't mean the rewards should change for everyone else.

    LOL, You may disagree Krissy but Drogos facts come from near on a years trading in this way.
    Drogo wouldn't buy out others gold, but someone may do if they simply want gold. if it's sold at the same price as warp trade then there is no loss.
    Yes, we could use cobwebs, but if i end up with a surplus somehow, say if someone has some stocked up, it's pretty much worthless. Not likely to happen, so might go down this road if I get too much gold.

    I think your missing the point. I chose to use gold as it allows me to sell at cheaper, more reasonable prices. Yes there may be only a few people that do this, but there are many, many that benefit from it. So many, many will lose out if us few can't trade in this way. You all seem to think I made this suggestion because it suits me but it won't be me who loses out if I cant trade this way, it will be those that come every day to buy cheap stone and wool.

    Read my reply to Fatal, same applies to your comment, you seem to be focusing on me, while I'm focusing on all those that benefit from my being able to trade this way. As for mijiperki suggestion, that same suggestion was made a very long time ago and went no where. It is certainly an annoying restriction to the tradeshops, one I overcame because I chose to use gold in my tradeshops. You need to stop thinking about me and think about all the other people who benefit from reasonable prices available 24x7. (Many mods included, yes, even Krissy buys Drogo's stone)
    Frederic has chosen to look at this suggestion for what it is and made a good suggestion of using cobwebs. Perhaps others can learn from this sort of constructive commentary that one would expect from a suggestion thread.

    Take your pick Drogo.

    Block of Coal (9 coal) has the same exchange rate as gold ingot (9 nuggets), coal cannot be placed unless it is a block, just not quite so pretty to look at, cuz it is coal, can be used readily in a furnace though.

    Lilly Pad, 8 per 1 grass- semi rare to fish it up, not often used, so won't really be lost to being placed in water.

    Ghast Tears, 4 per 1 grass- has absolutely zero use in the server(except potions), only at /warp trade, cannot be placed down.

    Lapis Lazuli, 4 per 1 grass- already a mineral, pretty to look at, controlled only by /warp trade, can't be placed unless made into a block, only used as dye, about zero percent of people use it for enchanting, already has some value/desirable qualities by being a semi precious item from vanilla minecraft.

    Lapis just got overlooked when we needed to divide grass the first time because gold was gold and shiny and could divide smaller, 1/9 instead of 1/4.

    What not to pick from /warp trade:

    Tulips/flowers - People have flower generators, tulips have too much variety
    Anything else from the bottom row of villagers - Stuff easily gathered/bottle exp can be drunk/spawn eggs are dumb
    Mob Loot - incredibly easy to collect
    Glowstone - cheaper at /warp donor, gives donors unfair advantage
    EndStone/Soulsand - just doesnt sound cool


    And I think it would be funny if you and Mingo eventually sold smoothstone at 1 stack per netherrack (1/32 of a grass block :p)

    He does?!?! Anyways, how many people have access to that spawner though? Ghast tears lose usefulness if even a few people he trusts uses it regularly.

    I'm gonna have to no-support this in comparison to my suggestion to fix this issue. It's a potential reliable source of income for non-donors.

    Neutral, if you do Zephyr's suggestion then this won't matter.

    And Krissy's opinion comes from knowing that non donors shouldn't be stopped from getting gold because a few people have shops which use it as currency. I have a stockpile of gold and grass. Might as well make a gold shop.

    Both achieve the same thing.
    Swap ma gold for grass and people can buy gold if they choose.
    OR
    Add a grass to gold trader and excess gold can be traded for grass.

    How will anyone be stopped from getting gold when it's available at /warp grass? I'm suggesting gold ingots in ma be swapped for grass. People can choose to buy gold if they wish with that grass. The main aim of this suggestion was to ensure trade shops can operate as they have for nearly a year offering fair prices. It seems the non supporters aren't taking a this into consideration.
    Frederic and Cyk have put a bit more thought into it and come up with work around that will most likely solve the issue, rather than just posting unhelpful comments like "it's your fault", it's your choice", "just find another way"
    All the knockers (mods in this case) seem to think I make this suggestion because it suits me when the main aim is to keep prices low and maintain the convenience of tradeshops.

    No support, as it is our own fault that you use gold. I may agree that there is no other thing to replace gold, but like they say, ITS YOUR PROBLEM. you are the one that chose to sell the stuff for gold. Also, now that gold is cheap I can buy up your inventory even faster.

    Believe it or not, your post actually reinforces this suggestion by showing how quickly tradeshops will cease to operate supplying cheap prices for everyone. I thank you for your narrow minded opinion.

    I couldn't agree more Zephyr. I point out a legitimate issue.
    _Cyborg_Ninja_, in his attempt to roast me has now highlighted how real it is and how quickly the current tradeshop system can be brought down. A system that has worked so well for so many for so long. I'm really surprised the mods knocking this, couldn't see the real issue here.

    No I am not trying to roast you but I would like some roasted beef for supper.
    You see my point is (now typing in a humanly manner) is that you shouldn't blame others for the change in the skyblock economy. Gold is now added to the mob arena, and I doubt that is going to change anytime soon. My suggestion is that you raise the prices in your shop, just to even things out a little bit.
