No More Ores!

Recently, I needed cash for a chest lock. So I voted, which comes up to problem #1:
Voting is broken for me. Almost all of the 9 websites said "Syn.Error" and I ended up only getting 300r.
So, I opened a chest, and grabbed some ingots, and ran to the oreshop, where problem #2 pops up on my screen.
Changing the ingots to ores in the oreshop!?
I am not VIP V, chest locks are expensive, and thus my storage space is limited. I cannot afford to keep all my ores as ores, I need blocks. I heard it is happening because of automatic Golem farms, which if that IS the reason, auto farming mobs is illegal, if I do recollect correctly. And gold too? Gold is rare-ish and pigen are not too easy too kill. If you can easily kill a group of pigmen legally, then you can most likely get the equipment to mine very well, and get rich. Please keep oreshop with ingots!

 

heheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, if you read the giant post on the front of the site, you'd be aware of what's going on Iron and gold farms will be allowed after the map refresh.

 

It is ingots?

 

There's a neat notification telling me that it will be changed to ores after the 1.7 update

 

I'm going to assume there's a banner on the forums that I can't see?

If we are switching to ore, I'll make sure I've got plenty of rupies and lots of room for people to sell iron ingots to me. Gold? No way.

 

Anyone would think it's impossible to store items in normal chests.

 

Just outlaw those 2 farms and leave the shops how they are, storage can be an issue when you mine a lot :/

 

Simple, just chest lock for the actual important things.

I'm happy if a random takes some of my cobble because there's so freakin much of it.

 

When your iron alone would take almost a full double chest, processed blocks seem like a much nicer idea

 

Different playstyles I suppose. I don't maintain massive amounts of excess of stuff I don't need.

 

Fair enough

 

Too much to read >.> I'm going to assume you're talking about Iron Golem and Pigmen farms are going to break the economy...? Just a thing to add on, Iron Golem farms are hardly inefficient and you would hardly make a profit off of one along with the server being able to provide that much power to let everyone do this...

Instead of making it more complicated with the ore shop, why not just have max/blat / majestic_moose(who is apparently in charge of the voting sites)/ sharqman / Dynodamon fix the damn voting sites. They still need to be fixed and it's been almost a year. Sorry if I sound harsh about it, but if people are still complaining about voting sites not working, then that's a huge issue since voting is what brings in a large portion of our players.

 

btw you're supporting the argument being made

I don't have access to server console, plugins, config, etc or anything to do with the website, so yeah. Also, the problem isn't with voting sites (except with the craftstats link, should be minecraft serverlister), it's with votifier. People can still vote, they just won't be rewarded for it.

 

Anyone would think people would not steal from normal chests.

 

Ugh, can someone just buy me VIP V on survival so I can get a discount?

 

I figured you probably wouldn't be able to fix it since it's a console problem. :S And yeah, the oreshop should stay the way it is and just have the voting sites fixed. ez pz, lemon squeezy case closed bring in the dancing lobsters! (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

So I just checked all the voting websites....
Looks like I managed to get money from five of them.
CS doesn't work for obvious reasons.
MinecraftServerFinder seems to be having issues with votifier.
Minecraft-Server-List seemed to have borked for me. I voted but it doesn't seem to count it.

Minestatus, planetminecraft, minecraftservers.net, minecraftservers.org, and minecraft-mp all seem to be running correctly.

I'll see what I can work on today.

 

I'm in contact with minecraft.serverlister.com in order to reclaim our voting page.
Everything checks out on our end with MinecraftServerFinder so I assume something is messed up there.
http://minecraft-server-list.com/server/101684/ if someone could test that while they are online that would be great. I think I fixed what was wrong, but i've already voted for today.
