Remove gold from MA rewards.

Gold is being used by many tradeshops as a way of making prices cheaper for everyone. But this only works for the seller if they sell the gold for grass initially. If players bring their own gold, sellers will get no grass and will end up with a surplus of gold which may see prices rise if sellers stop using gold to effectively break up the price of grass.
Currently MA rewards players with gold ingots (9 nuggets). Perhaps this can be removed or swapped out for a grass block as people can then buy gold if they wish from /warp grass.

 

It's not likely people will buy gold from /warp grass to spend at Drogo's shops when it is far more convenient to buy from Drogo. After many months of trading this way there has been little fluctuation in the amount of gold Drogo has.
Drogo challenges anyone to find another way to sell cheap through tradeshops. Drogo doesn't think there is one.
The use of gold is the only way around the tradeshop restriction of not being able to trade more than a stack of anything.
Sorry Krissy, Drogo finds your reasoning invalid and suggestion impossible.

 

Honestly I experience the same issue as you Drogo but still I prefer the solution suggested by Zephyr as to add a trade at warp grass to swap Gold for Grass. There are more benefits to it.

Trading with Nuggets is actually a Bypass for the bug that prevents trading more than one stack at the time through trade chests. We could indeed use something else, but it must be something that is solely available from warp grass where you get several Units of it for one grass. I believe that's the case for cobbweb, for instance. Would that be another solution, KhalDrogo ?

 

I agree with this, giving tradeshop owners somewhere to trade the gold in wouldn't be a bad idea. It works in favour of the shop owners, as there would always be somewhere to sell gold to, as well as for greenies who want grass, as they could trade in the ingots they've won from MA.

 

He suggested to replace it with grass... better income

I don't see Drogo building with Gold, but I might misjudge him

Anyhow I think it's up to the shop owner to decide what he'd rather do with his Gold. I have strictly no use for it beside selling for cheap. So we Need either this or Zephyr's Suggestion.

 

Being able to trade 9 gold nuggets for a grass block at /warp trade would resolve the issue but swapping out the gold ingots won at ma for grass has the same effect and perhaps more simple to implement.
And if people want they can spend that grass on gold.

Drogo is not trying to remove the ability of obtaining gold from players, more trying to ensure that tradeshops can be used to sell at fair prices.

Drogo agrees, they both achieve the exact same thing. It may come down to which is simpler to implement.

 

Such an Agreement is impossible in such a scattered barter economy. If a Major Trader or even several small ones start to sell 10 or more Nuggets for a grass, we will all have to follow if we don't want to get our Shops flooded with foreign Gold more than they are already by now.

 

If you try to sell 8 nuggets for 1 grass, people will just buy from warp trade and you get no grass. If you try to sell 10 nuggets for 1 grass, your competition will buy you out. This fixes to price at 9 per grass which makes it ideal for use in tradeshop systems.

 

If the competition (you) don't want the Gold from MAJ, why would they buy the Gold from the competition?

I suggested cobbweb as an alternative. If I remember right, they are sold at 8 Units per grass, which would be even more convenient because 8 x 8 = 64. They are not available anywhere else, neither in kits, nor in MAJ. They cannot be crafted or farmed. And they are very uncommon among the Players.

On a side note, I already have 2,5 stacks of Gold Ingots from maj You can have 10 for 9 Grass

 

*rates like* impressive Demonstration Cyk. Sherlock didn't choose you as a Manager out of no reason.

However this only works if Skyshop has the guts to wait it out on the Long term without moving and let his shop being flooded with foreign Gold. He will only do so (if ever) if he is sure about the origin of the Gold that is appearing in his Shop. And Information is not what's the most easy to get in Skyblock economy.

Remember the aim of all Shops is to earn Grass, not Gold, as there is almost no outcome for Gold (except selling it to Cyk so she can build her golden mansion ). So If they are flooded with Gold they will search a way to convert is back to Grass. They cannot do this by buying even more Gold from their competitors. They will sell their Surplus Gold in Bulk for cheap and/or adjust their Price in the ATMs. Both ways, the Price for Gold dropped.

 

Yeah they aren't cool, but unlike fish, they aren't available through any other means. And they do brake into string or even nothing only if they are placed and then broken with anything that has not silk touch. However, when I get on, I will look through warp grass for something better.

 

I'll tell mojang to add iron or diamond nuggets to help you Anyways no support

 

No support, allow tradeshop to go over 64 instead
