I still find them at 14s a stack, so your price increase will get you nowhere.
Locum, dont u see that the problem is not what you are selling them for? its what you are buying them for? It's the amount of diamonds that is in the system and the big % of it that is illigal that made this, not the selling prices.
Yes, destroy all the diamonds, all the creative gates, all the diamond armor and tools, then the economy would be "fixed" and only the people who have lots of silver (or iron) will be "breaking" the economy. (Sarcasm)
We have a Medieval economy, most of the wealth is held by a minority of people, and there is not a lot of upward mobility. These "nobles" also presently control all of the spawn shops, which is the traditional avenue for upward mobility of the working class. This should be fixed for a time with the release of Regalia. Patronage is the most effective way to advance in the game at present.
The fact is that most people use the diamonds and they go out of the economy. If you are a member of the nobility, then I would suggest a stance of "this too will pass." If you are a part of the middle class, be thankful that you can get diamonds for good prices and work to build other assets. If you are a moderator, continue enforcing the rules to the best of your ability. We have a working economy, even if people don't like the prices. When trading stops, then we will need to consider an intervention.

i personally think that factions that estart off when first created should start off costing 200s (meaning if the owner would like to sell in his facs first month he wouldnt gain anything) however if he waited 1 week or month the factions value would increase like to 210s[DOUBLEPOST=1358293760][/DOUBLEPOST]im saying that due to the fact diamonds and facs are the problem to the economy

that would be abused, wouldn't be very rp, and would basically griplock all beginning faction owners
Im tellin ya. An event where people spend diamonds to attend or play or whatever would help. It may not fix the problem but it would still get people to spend the diamonds which would then be burned. Hell I bet a large number of people would go to the event just for the good cause of trying to help fix the economy. The prizes would then be something you cant buy for money. Something like, first place gets there characters name forever marked in MassiveCraft lore or 2nd place gets to help build their own dungeon instance with the assistance of moderators. The event could be like a Massivecraft Olympics or something where contestants utilize everything from parqour to combat techniques to building abilities and compete against each other. To enter you must put down so many diamonds per event... Etc. Etc. Etc..
Personally I think this is something that can at the very least help the economy but at the same time it will give players something fun to look forward to and gather people together. It can even be an annual event or even a twice a year event to continually try and help keep the economy flowing with less duped diamonds in the world.

im guessing those who say yes are the sellers, a buyer, (me) doesnt want to buy a diamond for a silver when i can go get one for .45 copper, or go find some in ithania while i have the chance. a lower cost for things really means a better economy, not a worse, if you bought diamonds for a silver then sell for .45, then im sorry for you, but thats how the world works
