Eula solution

Hello meepcraft, I have come up with a way meepcraft could make eula not apply. This idea may not approve with some people, but it does avoid pay to win. All meep needs to do is put a villager in spawn or wherever, that lets you rank up with in game money. Sort of like prison. But there will be a catch. To rank up with in game money e.g. To VIP it would cost more then its average price. This is so people don't just buy ranks with in game money but will also donate to the server. If this gets added, all the commands can go back to how they were. If you agree with me do a +1!!

-1 as this would probably cause a lot of rage amongst many people with ranks, especially those who have paid with their own money. It would also be a major loss of income for the server.

 

+0 It seems like a good idea but just like twomoo said it would be upsetting to people who bought ranks with there own money. Maybe we could make like "meeptix" (crummy name) and have that so you can only buy them online. You would buy your rank using the meeptix that you bought online in-game like with a villager. It would be a ripoff to mojang because I think this would work

 

Why would people get mad when buying ranks with meebles has always been a thing? If anything, they would be happier that the rank they purchased would be worth more.

 

-1 funner to have rank sellers, that's how they get their meebles. And villagers would take it and do nothing. Some people will like it because it takes money out of the economy in meep

Also money NEEDS to be sent to meep in some way for ranks. Not meebles in the game. Meep needs real money

 

it's still an advantage because the people who are willing to pay real money will just skip right through all the time spent trying to get meebles

 

Like Bloopers said it is still sort of an advantage. Also, the server won't be getting as much money as it usually would.

Also why would donators be angry? I donated knowing I could save up for meebles but I thought it would be easier to just buy it.

 

This is why rank sellers exist.

 

I feel it is a good idea, as I suggested it previously.

It was denied due to
"Denied. It ruins the point of buying ranks. It would also devalue what people payed for."

 

That's such a lame response. There's no substance for the logic used. I'd argue that removing the perks from every rank is what ruined rank selling and devalued what people paid for. Not creating a system that gives us the perks back that we payed hundreds of dollars for. That denial doesn't seem very thought out, they were probably just rushing through suggestions too quickly.

 

Well, looks like I need to do some clarification for everyone.

Clearly, Mojang didn't feel rank sellers eliminated "pay to win."

Yes, it is still a slight advantage, but tell me, why would anyone donate if they don't get something or save time? No one ever donated for Premium to get /dis pig, they wanted /feed!

By adding the option to buy ranks in-game (Though vastly overpriced), it makes it cheaper to pay a rank seller who will pay hard currency.

Isn't it causing rage already that people payed their money for ranks, only to have the reason they bought it removed?

Ideas like this are always hated on because people automatically assume it would reduce server revenue; however, it would not because it they would be vastly overpriced (like everything you buy in /warp shop).

 

i agree with you that less people will pay for cosmetics but the EULA says that you are not allowed to sell advantages for real money - everyone should have equal chances

 

The key part of this:

Everyone has the chance to get it. Buying it with real money is only saving time and work, not offering a exclusive advantage as it was before.

 

-_-

 

This is a no from fuzzl pe and all staff, and I'll explain why. THAT IS MEEPS ONLY INCOME. You think it's free to run these servers jat? Meep has to pay the people to rent servers, and for the server itself, advertisement, and fizzles life. No jar no, you can't remove MEEPS only money.

There's also rank sellers. That way if you want rank with meebles you can buy it.

 

Do people not read the comments before posting on a suggestion???

Again, read through comments before automatically taking a side.

Also, is it not killing Meep's donations already to have absolutely no perks? You in particular, are a Supreme. Why would you donate for Ulimate/Legend with the current perks it has? (Were it still available)

 

-1, the point of donations is for meep to get tangible money to help fund the server. Removing this would remove that option of getting that money to help support the server.

 

If in game meeble options were up, no-one plain out would use the site to donate with cash.

 

Don't think this sort of thinking is gonna get anywhere, guys reason EULA is in place is because it believes in equality for all players, stop thinking about the previous ranks and what you used to have because it does not apply anymore, we need to start thinking about meep as a community and not for your own gain e.g. having fly or fix again.

 

Again,

EULA was put into place to provide equal opportunities. This is why we can't have /fix for only those who pay $80 Usd. I know for a fact this works, as I know of several servers that use it, and they can't be touched by the EULA because of it. One has a "casino" where you can earn money only good for buying ranks. Then it clears that rank every 6 months at reset. Still, while you have the rank, it gives you the full advantages of the rank. By doing this, they (not naming specifics due to Meep rules) can keep donor spawners, /fix, and everything else at ranks costing more than $100 Usd.
