    Please make a voting thing for wild west. I think this would kind of solve the issue of "no daily rewards". Maybe something like a wagon pulled by horses comes buy when you use your votes. The wagon would have goods in it such as whiskey, morphine, d armor, illegal guns, gold, processed ores, and the rarest would be a special horse (3 most expensive horses). The special horse's chances are like 1/300 so don't overreact to this please.

    For the next update, we're planning to add voting crates with rewards unobtainable through in-game currency. Tier 4 guns and diamond armor will only be able to be obtained through voting or killing other players who have the gear aforementioned.

    Voting rewards for Wild West was already added under /vote, but there is a system planned for stuff after that.

    So you can only get these items by voting, or killing someone who got it from voting? I don't really like that idea, the tier 4 items should still be obtainable in-game without voting, imo.

    So you're saying, if people vote, they *might* get diamond armour? Might as well then give everyone diamond armour because it would be that easy to get it, doing /vote and hopefully getting it

    EULA only applies to donations. Well technically it doesn't, I think, but Mojang doesn't enforce anything to do with voting.

    It would definitely prevent the economy from over-inflating, like the case right now. It seems that lowering the prices to everything only benefits the rich.
    Yeah, as I mentioned earlier, we don't want the economy to over-inflate. We want something that even the upper class can work for. Though we haven't worked out the exact percentages of getting diamond armor from voting, it definitely won't be an absurdly low chance.

    It also means the best items in the game are essentially given to players for free. Voting takes no skill, there's no risk involved; you're not really playing the game by voting. If you're able to get the best stuff via such an easy method, even if there's a low chance, then it removes the point of earning money to get good items.

    Valid point, though many other servers have voting systems that don't inflate the economy. With this update, we plan to allow gear to be easily obtained/kept through the use of kits, permanent storage, etc.

    Gear which is good enough for players to survive should be easy to obtain, since otherwise players will keep on dying to others who have good gear and that's no fun. However, it shouldn't be that easy to obtain the best gear in the game. As long as someone with easily obtainable gear will still stand a chance against someone with the best gear in the game, it should be fine.

    The difference between the tier three items, the best items obtainable in-game, and tier four items, which are only obtainable through voting, won't be as great as you assume they'll be. For example, the tier three rifle takes the exact same amount of consistent head-shots to kill a full D player as the tier four gun.

    There's more to guns than just how many headshots it takes to kill people. However, if tier 4 items aren't a huge amount better than the other tiers, then that's not a huge issue. I don't see why they should only be obtainable via voting, though.

    The server is designed to be noob-friendly of course, so if EVERYONE can get the armor, it's more fun for everyone. More diamond fights, PvP encouraged, etc.

    I know. But, Mojang doesn't blacklist servers or anything for doing this (even Hypixel breaks the EULA like this).
