Raid and the upcoming gold inflation

To add some context, mob spawners are categorised into 4 tiers, each based on their resourcefulness, and cost more XP to change accordingly. Pigmen fit into the 4th tier, costing 65 levels of XP. Making them cost, in total:
- 65 Levels
- 1 Pigman Egg
- 1 Dragon Egg

This spawner changing is brand new this map, so we expected there would be some potential meta, and economy issues. Options open to pigmen spawners could be:
- Reducing the spawn rate from pigmen spawners
- Preventing them being created
- Making them harder to create
- Announcing in chat when a custom spawner is made, and by who - potentially encouraging tracking of that player. If setups of spawners are constantly being raided, the work/time put in could counter.

 

I agree with Colonel Graff about the problem and and have also brought this up to Eil in game.
However i do not at all like the way how you illustrate the problem. It makes it seem as if Lebron and I were the bad ones destroying the economie and you are the holy saint and saviour of the economie. (Carno got his Gold from Voting rewads). May i remind you that you are trading every map relentless with villagers millions of items converting every rubbish you can find into emeralds later into enchanted book/armour and finally into Gold. So if everyone did this it would break the economie as well since a quad spiderspawner with a loot3 sword gives you an endless amount of strings to trade with Fishers. I tried this out. I traded 3 Dubs strings and 3 rows of coal and got 2 stacks Emerald blocks beeing op as …. once i have good villagers.
Moreover may i remind you that you were the one using a paper dupe glitch by the end of last map creating unimagineable amounts of paper converting it probably into thousands of gold pieces.

Finally we have this map a repair NPC at spawn which takes 60 Gold every time you reset a 19lvl tool/armour out of the game. Even though i can easily live with that since i have tons of gold i think its too much for a casual player who deosnt know all the secret tips and tricks to get a lot of gold on the market or elsewhere.

To Eils post:
Increasing the cost of changing spawners wont Change anything as it is a 1 time problem and spawners if used correctly last almost forever (Using them in the morning of School days).
Decreasing the spawn rate would help to Prevent 99% of the Players to get a lot of gold out of them however not LeBron since he can afk all the time when all of US and EU is asleep and still get tons of gold out of the spawners.
Announcing that a player changed a spawner wont help either since everyone will do it when noone (who can track) is online.
4) completely removing them is not good either as it takes away an intresting part of the current map. You can get "Rich" spawner Raids now and it will be funny to see how Teams will arrange when they track each others spawners.
So i suggest that pigmenspawneggs should only be obtinable in the end Event/koth loot just like the enderman spawnegg. This will/would make it really hard to actually get a double pigman spawner. If this still doesnt fix the problem, then you can still nerv the spawnrates of pigmen.

And @lebronjames0 you are the biggest meme/legend/troll of the game i know. I think I would have quitted so many times if it wasnt for the funny moments with you. <3

 

I think that there should be a command such as /spawnerlist which allows you to see current custom spawners, who made them, and what they were made into so that people can track custom spawners easier therefore there is a greater risk of making and using them, which means that the output is more finite.

 

1 or 2 pigmen a minute will stop any edrag purchases immediately. Not good but atm its 4 pigmen per spawn. With koth/End event rewards beeing the only way to get a pigman spawnegg it should be no problem to have such a high rate as there wont be a lot of spawners out there and for sure no double/ triple pigmen spawners. If this shoulf still be the case then staff should thing about lowering the spawnrates by 25/50%

Again obviously you didnt read my post. Since i am studying now i can be online at any time of the day. On schol days in the morning lebron and i are the only 2 players online (apart from some noobs). So it wont help anything that everyone knows who has spawners. Moreover our spawner is up since 10 days and noone even attempted to track it so this is no solution at all.

 

I have faith in lebrons. He will lower prices and fight inflation xD

 

Already exists - We track every custom spawner, and it's type. Both for this reason, and so the server knows which spawners to drop a dragon egg if broken.

 

Just remove pigman spawners entirely.

 

How about making t4 spawners take 2 draggon egg? and maybe more XP ratehr than 65.

( I don't know if its been suggested already or already dismissed but I cba to read all those posts)
