    After a while, the jail is full of coal, since everyone hates coal and refuses to mine it. This makes the jail time for people immediately after a reboot incredibly short, while the jail time for people who come later is much longer.

    Not every player has the option to wait for a reboot, so RIP fun for them. Here's my idea to even the jail experience out a bit:

    When you go to jail, there will be an option to select Regular or Coal Miner.
    Coal Miner gets an efficiency 1 diamond pick, twice the amount of bounty reduction from Coal, and none from any other ores.

    There will always be a worst ore that nobody wants to mine, if coal is removed it is iron and so on.

    The balancing of this idea should be done so that both options offer similar time in jail (for an average ore distribution). The details, such as the Coal Multiplier, and whether the pick has Efficiency, are easily manipulated.

    Not everyone has the luxury of waiting for reboots like me lol.

    Also: Hoping to hear some feedback from people who have actually been in jail.

    To be serious, we have added a system in which you can bail players out (/bail). However, the time it takes for players to get out of jail isn't supposed to be such a short task.

    Here is some feedback. If you remove Coal will Iron be mined? Honestly, I beg to differ. Statistically Coal does nothing mining wise and doesn't affect how long you are in there. Mining Iron compared to how long it takes the bounty to decrease makes sense. The time it takes to mine coal and run to another vein just seems pathetic. Increase the amounts mining. Wild West might not have been how you visioned it but there are a lot of great businesses out there that changed and weren't how the owners pictured it. Why fix something that isn't broken? Wild West had glitches to work on and stuff that needed to be fix. So why change the economy? If the server is "Broken" anyway, fix the real stuff first before downgrading it. This might sound really one sided but coming from someone who has really thought this out... it isn't. Wild West is so dull and really just a sit and wait game. I myself have not been in a gun fight once, and if someone dares mention shooting a sheriff...

    My recommendations -

    Take off coal completely. Make mining 20% profitable or make it 15% more and safer. Sheriffs are not going to protect someone when they don't gain money... or add a freaking tip system :stuck_out_tongue:

    Add more ways to make money, a lot of arguments are don't do the crime if you don't wanna do the time, but what else are we supposed to do? I mean we could all go play War or SPvP instead... Y'all need to remember that this isn't just a life for being... it's a game. So you can't FORCE us to play. We can get bored and move on.
    Example of making money

    Bandits -
    Bounty - Right click nearest rogue (You gain money equal to their bounty divided by 1.25) So 10,000 = 8,000.

    Indian hunting -
    (Racist I know) make this way more worth it. Put more chest, less Indians and better equipment.
    That's two right off my head. I can make a huge list if requested.

    Wanted -
    when you are "Wanted" you get a money making bonus of 25% so every 10,000 = 12,500

    Sheriffs -
    Tipping system - Let people tip our sheriffs 1,000... No harm? They do a good job now here is 1,000. It's the small things in a server that make the biggest impact

    Bounty hunter -
    Bring in a top 3, you get their EXACT bounty.

    Make the diamond armor 15,000 in total. The server was fun due to being able to get into huge fights. I made my team from scratch, every single member minus Viva, I met on Wild West so complaining about team is not an excuse.

    Making processing more interactive. Keep it the same and just have two options, you can actually make it faster or the normal speed, but to do it faster you need to craft random things (Like a minigame). Something to keep someone entertained. Plus they are focused on that they won't be paying attention putting a bigger risk.

    I could go on and on but at this point I think you guys need to sit down and discuss what is good for the majority playerbase. Japan, Hot, and OF were planning on playing a while, and those were really decent players. I enjoyed having them on. The ONLY team to survive after the update is CROW and that is only because of how much I get them to play. So please think about the community before your own gaming experiences

    P.S I want to say they were thinking about adding Skills you could upgrade. +1 from me on that. That will help a lot more for game dynamics with fighting and the economy. Great job on that if that is a thing.

    We want skills! We want skills! I really like the idea of a coal miner, because that's what I do anyway. When I get in prison I mine all the coal in a corner of the prison, then wait for everything to respawn and just mine that section over and over again. That works pretty well for me, but it would be cool to have a coal miner option.

    If you choose to play Wild West that way, it must be dull. Try using Bandit or Rogue tracker, or Raiding a base, and you will soon find a gunfight.

    Your recommendations are far-reaching and deserve their own thread, rather than being tacked onto this one.
