    Why is a trader offering 20x more than /shop?
    Atleast put it at a discounted rate, I mean

    Right, I mean even if those items aren't "useful", they could at the very least be cheaper than /shop.

    Or am i missing something

    I honestly thought it felt useless on survival, but seeing how it works on eco is even weirder and seems such a waste

    what...

    /shop is infinite.

    In real life, why would one walk to the back of the store to buy something for the price of 200 when the exact same item (same brand) right next to the entrance is 10. /shop is more convenient so there's 0 trade-off here. It's a wasted opportunity..

    I’m not sure if there is already one, but, a suggestion to change the traders could be created here on our forums.

    There should be a restriction than the trader cannot be worse than /shop as it kinda eliminates the purpose. Having bad trades such as deepslate is still apart of the trader but prices shouldn’t be terrific, they should be reasonable. If you gonna buy from there at least cheaper than /shop.

    • Netherite Scrap
    • Shulker Shell
    • Ender Chest
    • Otherside
    • Beacon
    • Nether Star
    I find these ones to be worth buying, alongside some others like glowstone.
