Can we disable the fortresses so diamond currency cant drop much anymore it is almost 2 for 1 and people are going to start 2 for 1 in November. Either disable the structure or find a way to replace the diamonds in the chests with like grass blocks so diamonds don't suffer anymore.

Short Suggestion but can help dias

 

Skytitans get 3 dias a day, the demand isnt very high for them. Its not the nether thats causing the issue.

 

you can get like 20 by just by like nether fortresses in like 2 hours

 

Which is a good thing because it allows for players who dont have these kits to get diamonds relatively easily

 

or fly hackers, lol

 

The idea behind purchasing ranks is to gain items that are not easily available such as diamonds. Having them in the nether does diminish the value of the ranks we purchased.
If a fix were implemented it might be easiest to simply restrict the movement of diamonds through portals. Just as an inventory check is done before going to ma, can the same be done for the nether? Just stop people taking them in or bringing them out.

 

Support iv already made a suggestion about this somewhere but it will help bring up the value which is better for the economy

 

They aren't going to be much of a rarity when each skytitan gets a potential 1100 diamonds per year.
Proof of diamonds not being a rarity comes from the price in the last years on both classic and the new server.

If your objective is to keep diamonds rare, then you should reduce the amount received in kits from 3 to 1, and for skygods from 1 to 0. That will help magnitudes more than the pitiful amount of diamonds from the nether - which does not compare at all to this source of diamonds.

If your objective however is to keep the kits as the primary source of diamonds, then yes, no diamonds should come from the nether or anywhere else.

But if you want to keep diamonds rare and have them come only from kits, then you need to significantly reduce the the diamonds received from kits and remove them from the nether.
Solely removing them from the nether is not going to make them much rarer. The effect is minimal

If you define "issue" as the price dropping, then this statement is absolutely wrong. The influx of diamonds due to kits has always, and before the introduction of the nether solely, been the reason for the price drop. (excluding duping for both cases)

​

The fix to retaining the idea that items from purchased ranks should have any kind of rarity is the creation of a way for items to be used and be removed from circulation, thereby balancing the creation and expenditure/removal of diamonds. As Sean once said,

"This is the life of an economy server with no way for items to vanish. The only time things go missing is when they're used or dropped and CLAG takes them. Balancing 'eco' servers is hard because if it's unfair, people will leave, but if it's easy, they leave as well. When small issues aren't addressed, they begin to grow, and grow, and grow until they turn from that small issue into one that's towering over everything else."

But on the other hand this is supposed to be a player driven economy. If you want diamonds to be rare, there needs to be an actual use of diamonds for players. As long as there isn't one, I see no reason to start artificially inflating the price. I call Adriansop's attention to this point as well.

Either way, if there is no scarcity any commodity will not be rare. The scarcity for diamonds is being reduced through kits - the nether is hardly a cause.
You could increase scarcity by creating a reason for using diamonds - giving an incentive to "spend" them. Not by removing a small source, which people not spending money benefit from.

No support.

 

See my post above too, but please explain in-depth, in your opinion why would a high diamond price be better for the whole economy?
