    Yes it does seem like the grass has changed into 50 grass which is a very good start! I do agree with you however in saying $50 grass is not enough for $5 and you are right. Even a a stack of grass (64) seems of a better value. I can still trade the $5 for 320 grass with an in game trade, so I still believe the shop will not be frequently used still. Players are more likely to buy these items if there was an overall shop change to these items and prices as they can be seen as absurd. You can still get a beacon for $10 (100 grass shop value) or an elytra for $15 (150 grass shop value). I am able to trade the $5 amount for in game currency, and can get more than a $15 value on shop, with over 64+ remaining grass. Some players might be buying increments of 50 grass instead of an elytra or beacon, which still makes them lose money. However, there are still some other items in the shop that still really need a change or a total rework. Some of these items are not relevant to most players, or could use a price lowering.

    Even a change to 100 grass for $5 would make sense. The current prices do not make logical sense being compared to each other and that is the main problem. The beacon on the shop is $10 meaning it would be closer to the in game value of 200 grass instead of just 100 (x2 50 grass = $10).

    Some pricing
    $5 for 50 grass (current) - $5 for 100 grass (possible rework) - $5 for 320 grass (in game value)

    $10 for a beacon (current) - can stay the same - $10 for 3 beacons (in game value)

    $15 for an elytra (current) - can stay the same - $15 for 2 elytras + remaining grass (in game value)


    Thank you KhalDrogo for bringing awareness to these players about the pricing however, it should not have to be done in the first place. Alerting these players of what they could be getting by gift card trade, would only bring less sales to the shop. It seems a large portion of the community trades with gift cards and such to get grass, while select few buy these items from the shop (most unaware). I still believe a large portion of the long-term players, would continue not buying these items, especially the grass rework, due to the pricing.

    If the item shop wants to keep consistency and sales on players buying these items, it would need an entire overhaul rework. Bringing some new items and reworking the old ones would definitely bring some more attraction to the shop, and more players buying items if they were to be of acceptable price.

    Paid $63
    If bought by trading gift cards for grass cost would have been $10.00

    Drogo fully expects the web shop prices to be greater, but not to this degree.

    The server and its economy have evolved, the web store needs to evelove with it.

    Yes that is true, or that player could have even just sold gift cards for in game currency and gotten 4000+ grass (OVER A DOUBLE CHEST). However, if we want to go by the shop pricing with gift cards then yes you are correct. So to see a player buying items such as these for prices such as that, is a little absurd to me.

    I agree, while it makes sense for the shop to be slightly more expensive than in game trading prices. $65 is far to much for 4 spawners and 50 grass

    It looks like this player bought all this for the Economy server where grass is worth even less. You can earn over 3 grass per minute running profit shops.
