Why buying plots should be taken away: It is devalues the Ranks even more. The fact that default can have the same amount of plots as Elite+ unless Elite+ buys more plots.

My opinion: Plots are already Very undervalued but buying more plots makes them more undervalued.

If and when it should be implanted: If this is going to be implanted there should be at least more value to rank and maybe even overvalued for this to be implanted for it to be fair to other players.

Please leave feedback!
 
Actually, we should let them stay because we should sometimes think of the people who cannot afford a rank and not only focus about the perks of ranks. Do you know how hard it is for defaults? They make a plot in the sky as a second plot which would take them forever and we have many plots. Again they'll have to buy it, it's not like we are giving it away for free and I don't think it'll really affect anything. And something that was just implemented being removed wouldn't be possible. -1
 
I see both sides of the argument as reasonable. I personally was shocked when they released this, as it has been stressed that Elite and Elite+ aren't worth as much as they should be. We really need people buying ranks- not plots. However, many players have Elite and up and want more plots without having to pay for the rank with extra stuff they probably don't see a point in having. Maybe make buying plots something only donors can have, perhaps? That's one of the only ways I see it benefiting both sides of this. The ranks could pull in the people looking for the purchase of plots while increasing the money we receive when people want these extra plots. In all honesty, I don’t really mind the implementation or purchasing plots as much as a once did. It doesn’t seem like something that is problematic to have at all despite the devaluing of ranks.

No. If some people want something specific, then they should be able to go for it if they can afford it.
 
At first, I didn’t really like the idea, but after better explanation and persuasion, I didn’t really mind this anymore. It’s nice to be able to buy extra plots, to create new and better builds. Not just for elites and vips, but for defaults. If they can’t afford a rank, they can atleast buy something they really want for a suitable amount of money, and help contribute to the server. We can also further donate and gather more from this new feature aswell.

In some ways, yes it does devalue our ranks slightly, but know we’re trying to implement more perks to other ranks to balance this out in the future. Plot merging did just come out after all, which is significant proof that changes and developments are being made.


Overall I’ll have to vote no, sorry.
 
I'm not entirely sure how this works, but I want to give my opinion regardless. But, if a default rank can have as many plots as a VIP who hasn't spent more money on extra plots, then the system should be revamped or removed. I can see the argument that some people may not be able to afford a rank, but if you are buying so many extra plots then I don't see why buying a rank would be a problem - it would only be a few pounds more. Even if you buy as many as to catch up with an E+, surely it would just be more effective to just buy the rank and get all the other perks such as name in murder, world edit (especially seeing as you would have multiple plots to work on with even larger ones thanks to plot merging,) and others. Another reason would be the devaluing of ranks. Many players buy ranks for the plots, such as me, but enjoy the other perks massively such as the previously mentioned world edit. There aren't many active players with higher ranks on this server anymore, and essentially removing one of the perks specific to people who have bought a rank would further devalue them and especially reduce the profit MCPZ makes.

However, this is just my opinion and I am going to have to give this a +1. Feel free to respond to my points and I'll try to get back as soon as possible. ;)

I see your point but why add something that devalues the rank even more when they are undervalued

I already answered that in my previous message. We’re implementing and coming up with new perk ideas now, for example, plot merging.
Another thing is, the ability to buy this perk is technically beneficial for us aswell seen as we can also purchase more plots. It’s a general perk now that requires us to buy it. Defaults who buy plots need to buy plots to receive extra, while we already have plenty, which we can add too.
Defaults deserve a few creative abilities aswell, it’s not really that fair, they’re already so limited in everything so what’s the problem with giving them the ability to buy plots? They’re still paying after all. It’s equal to what we do, and we can add whatever we want aswell. They’re paying for a perk we get in a package of multiple other perks for an equal price to what we get inside a rank, except minus the other perks ( basically they’re paying the same amount for plots as us, they’re just not paying to get our other perks. ) So I don’t really see an issue in devaluation. Especially if we can buy extra too.

Sorry if this didn’t make any sense.

Thinking about it in the perspective of a ranked player who spent a significant amount of money to obtain a rank to only get 12 plots.

The entire problem with this is the ranks are undervalued, giving defaults a major perk for us, devaluating it even more, and the fact the prices are so low is also the problem.

By all means, defaults should be able to have some type of perk, but giving them one of our only perks that we bought for a huge price, while they’re getting it for say around 7 dollars (and 9 of them)

There aren’t many perks to begin with, people buy ranks for extra plots in creative, and for worldedit in creative.

I’m fine if it gets removed, but if it doesn’t I’m fine as well. I think they need to change the price points to make it fair to us, or give each rank more plots.

I’m neutral.

what since when can you buy plots?
 
girl BYE
 
Not arguing for a side, but let's just do the math because no one else did, and I want to provide some facts.

[With Spring Sale]
E+(+9 plots) vs 9 extra plots = 77.59 USD difference
Elite (+7 plots) vs 9 extra plots(2 more plots) = 41.59 USD difference
VIP+(+5 plots) vs 9 extra plots(4 more plots) = 17.59 USD difference
VIP (+3 plots) vs 9 extra plots(6 more plots) = 4.89 USD difference
VIP (+3 plots) vs 3 extra plots = 8.79 USD difference

[Without Spring Sale]
E+(+9 plots) with 9 extra plots = 123.99 USD difference
Elite (+7 plots) vs 9 extra plots(2 more plots) = 63.99 USD difference
VIP+(+5 plots) vs 9 extra plots(4 more plots) = 23.99 USD difference
VIP (+3 plots) vs 9 extra plots(6 more plots) = + 4.01 USD difference (in this case, buying the plots would be more expensive)
VIP (+3 plots) vs 3 extra plots = 3.99 USD difference

(I may be wrong, correct me if I am. I did this without checking twice.)
 
Buying plots is now only available to ELITE+ players, does that SATISFY you?
 
Hello and thank you for the suggestion. Because e+ is the only rank that can buy plots now, this isn't really as much of an issue (as stated by OP.) So because of this change, the base suggestion won't be implemented
