    This is only my second day on forums. So, you may ask yourself, why should this greenie with no experience be commenting on the topic of diamonds, when they probably have very little or none at all? Well, that is part of my point. Let me explain.

    The Problem With Diamonds At This Moment In Time

    Many players on the server right now, mostly people of rank Donor5o and above, hold on to their diamonds with an iron fist. Why is this a problem? If people want to save up diamonds to buy things, then why is that wrong? These questions and more are probably running through your head right now. Well. This means that when people try and buy diamonds, most of the time there are none available. This means people who do have them begin to sell them for more than 22 grass, the price most people deem to be appropriate, to make a profit off of those who are desperate. Inevitably, this will lead to a drastic change in the diamond market, with prices rising. As a result of this, new players will find it harder to fit into the economy if they cant't afford the ever more expensive items that most players believe to be the most desirable currency. This could be a genuine problem for the SB economy.

    This may seem like a stupid and totally irrelevant problem.It may well be. You can reply 'If you don't like the way the server works, then don't play on it' all you want
    and it wont bother me. I started this thread in the discussions section so that we can have a discussion that no-one has probably ever brought up before.

    TLDR: Basically, I'm a bit angry at rising prices for diamonds xD. to put it in simple terms.

    How To Fix The 'Issue'


    There is probably no clear way to fix this issue. However, if you have even the faintest idea, please post it below. I would love to hear your opinions. :heart: ;)

    Please post a reply with your views on the situation, this took a fair bit of my time to type up and then edit so it sounded the best it possibly could. Also, thanks to all those who have managed to read this far, sorry the post is a bit long-winded.:)

    Hm actually it might be a good idea. SB should probbz make a diamond shop or a grass shop so people can buy unlimited of them

    That's a good suggestion. However, that may devalue diamonds because those with lots of grass will suddenly have many diamonds. Thanks for the reply.

    I don't think every donor50 or higher hold on to the diamonds with an iron fist. Fir example, I always like to donate some diamonds to players. I love it how you are new to the forums and you are really "wise" ;)

    Just because he is new to forums doesn't mean he is new to the server.

    Diamonds are falling in value due to hundreds entering the economy every day; not rising in value.

    Well, maybe you are right and therefore Skygods and others should get a smaller amount of diamonds in their kits.
    However, in my opinion diamond prices are rising. Here are some examples of why I believe this:

    1) NaderBOI,old IGN xNaderTx and new IGN WonderWeapxn, now only sells diamonds for 30 grass because he holds on to them. People like him are the main cause of the rise.
    2) Today I saw an auction for 1 diamond. The highest bid was 29 grass. From a greenie. This proves my point from this post: people are desperate to get there hands on them.
    3) People are always buying them in chat, basically pleading as they can't find any deals.

    I appreciate your post and opinion.

    If anything grass is overloaded on players so people want to buy diamonds but no one sells in fear of not being able to buy any.

    Diamonds used to be 64 grass. Skyshop sells for about 22 grass.

    Well, mabye they were. But now the set price is usually 22dias and its rising fast. I underatand that prices will inevitably rise and fall, just I think now it is too rapid for the availability. Remember, this is a discussion not an argument :heart:

    Welp...Im not much good at stuff like this and I hate to admit I dont really understand... However, keep the reply, that spreadsheet is good for other players.
    So, I guess what you mean is the spreadsheet shows the current worth of diamonds and grass? I made this thread to say why I think diamond prices are rising (IMO).

    Sorry if this reply is jumbled, as I said im a bit confused haha.
