    So basically, players should be able to choose which server they can claim their DP on. How this would work is if I were to get a head in the drop party, I could type /collectables in economy and get it in economy. The same would work for survival. This would make collectors in economy or survival more happy because they wouldn't have to do a cross-server trade. This would make sure there would be less scams because there would be less steps in order to do the trade. That is less of a chance people have to scam you. The only thing you have to do to trade is exchange heads for items and/or economy balance. That's it! Let me know what you think!

    This would create an uneven balance and would not be fair to players. It’s evenly split for both servers and doing this can let more people claim on /skyblock compared to /economy. I think it’s fair how it is now, cross server trades arent that hard to do.

    lets say 19 people claim the same head on skyblock that leaves a 1/1 rare on economy... it's like what Trin said an unbalance of rares, I don't see this being implemented.

    I like to collect heads on economy. I sometimes get survival heads. I just trade them for one of the same type on economy and usually a couple extras. I don't see a need to reduce the amount of heads in total and leave uncertainty on how many exist.

    While I see the logic behind the suggestion, I think it stems from the blurred lines DPs have now. Back in the day there were literal drop parties at spawn on each respective server, where Noobcrew or whoever would drop the heads to the crowd below. Since then, to combat lag and make it more fair for everyone participating, the drop party plugin was introduced, and later the separate events server where both DPs occur in sequence. It's not a 200 head drop party, it's a 100 head drop party for survival and a 100 head drop party for eco that are now done in the same place. The point is to have a DP for each playerbase, not give more shots at winning to survival players.

    yes lets all make sure to only claim survival dp heads from now on so the economy on eco crashes and they dont get any updated rares :thumbsup:

    The only way I can see this working is by dropping the events server and running DPs on net and org at the same time, forcing players to choose between one or the other.

    Of course this would also introduce its own set of issues like alt control, lag, player thresholds, staff distribution, double rewards. Most could be resolved pretty easily though.

    Still, no support. An org head and a net head aren't the same and shouldn't be treated as interchangable.
