I'm voting no on both of these and not just because "I always vote no". On the second one I do think some people might find a way to abuse the system in some way just to get "a friend" in or them self even... On the first, I don't think it's that easy and I've been to all 4 edges of the map twice already. with all this adventure I've found not even 1 beacon, I could probably tell the ore counts in a normal pirate town and white sail ship because I've runinto enough to know white ships have 26 emeralds and the towns have none. If anything I'm finding a lack of things, I'm finding tons of empty chests and it's easy to think "maybe they were found already" and that's what I thought too in the beginning. But when I go into a temple looking place, build a bridge over the lava pit, disarm the traps, dig through the lapis/gold/quarts pyramid and place more water for the lava there to get down into the secret room just to see its yet another empty secret room... That isn't what I'd call overly easy, and its not just there it's happened in the large towns that look like spawn, those cemeteries are empty just like 100% of the otherchests in there even the secret room that I wont point out how to get too because why spoil it. That's not saying maybe there are some very lucky people out there but its definitely not normal, I would have seen something by now if it was normal with how much adventure I'm doing. [EDITSSSSS] topic1, still a no with the same reasons BUT I did just hit a 32 diamond vein above ground so I can see how that might be a problem. I also see how this is a good thing because once all these easy diamonds are gone we have to work hard to find the meat that's left especially with the money of the server, these emeralds don't regrow once it's gone that's it. Plus we do still have to make tons of new gear or pay for repairs by paying diamonds on the anvil dwindling the supply. what about other Golems, diamond, gold etc? That would burn thesurplusquick. topic 2, still no, same reason. topic 2b, if handles right could be a good thing I'veseen the helper thing handled both ways before so yes on that. other topics 3&4, 3, I don't really care about the money stuff, want spawners or a new exclusiveworld or whatever then go for it, I don't have the money to spend anyway so I don't have any real input. 4, as long as I don't have a wither or dragon blowing up my house then sure, sounds good.
