Currency: What do you deposit/withdraw form bank?

[Magpieman]

I had a thought, the thing i dislike most about banks is the fact you can swap currency with them. If a bank was solely a place to deposit your ores and you could only withdraw exactly what you put in, i wouldn't mind it. The main issues with swapping currency is that the items you withdraw are spawned in so we end up with more diamonds round the server than there would be if it was vanilla. The other problem is valuing each ore for both bank and gen. For example i am happy with lapis having a higher value if it is just used to power a gen but if it can be swapped for diamond (2 lapis blocks per diamond) it becomes a bit over powered so it is very hard to find a balance. Without banks swapping currency we can make items such as lapis have a slightly higher value to make running a gen a little bit easier.

That's a great idea Mag, but Mojang beat you to it. They named it the Ender Chest. :3

 

[Magpieman]

Im aware but the feedback im getting is the ender chest isn't big enough and if they fill it they cant use it for transporting stuff etc, and thats why people want the bank.

That's the point. Why would you want to give players room to store everything that is of value to them thus putting raiders out of a job?

 

[Magpieman]

hence why i say remove the bank!!!

 

[Zor95]

But you just suggested we keep it and allow for ore storage

 

[thelineguy]

If we were to remove the bank, what would happen to all the credits we have stored in it?

 

[Magpieman]

We would give players a couple of weeks to withdraw cash with no tax.

I still don't think we should remove the bank, but if the mighty unquestionable Magpieman says so, then I guess it's settled

I still like the idea of keeping banks and reverting generators back to only accepting emeralds. That's my opinion anyway.

Yes, go with Crypts idea. It is much better than Mag's

Indeed it is

Done. Only emeralds can be deposited now.

Done. Only emeralds can be deposited now.

You mean withdrawn? Is there still a 10% fee?
If so, can we still deposit other ores? (diamond, iron, gold, lapis)

He has said that only emeralds can be put in generators now, nothing else.

 

[andrekeroxd]

Derp. Thanks

 

[Zor95]

I don't see the point in doing that unless you're saying that the bank will stay, and then I don't understand the point of that.

 

[Cryptite]

The bank will stay afaik. What don't you understand?

 

[mopb3]

Just ignore him, all is good in the world ^_^

 

[Magpieman]

WHY? You have put no argument forward. I don't understand why you want it to stay and why only deposit emeralds. It makes no sense!!!!!
