I'd like to suggest a drastic change to the way the Market currently works in Herocraft. Some conversation always happens online about it, and some Ideas are from those.
Firstly:
The Market is way too easy to just pawn raid stuff to, and It costs so little in tax. Now I know most people can only ever get as little as 3c for a stack of diamonds, but the tax is partly to blame.
Secondly:
I took a walk through the market sector earlier, Aside from a few people using them as houses, it's pretty dead. Why use the Advertisement signs when no one even goes to the Markets?
Changes:
Part 1: Market Chest
I'd like to see the Market chest removed from it's current place; But not entirely. In fact, while we're at it, the entire Exchange should move along with it. (The Market Chests people can get in their towns can stay.) But the value of selling things on the Market should be Taxed by 20%. Market should have it's name changed to Black Market, and be relocated in a Back Alley of the Market, connected to all 4 sides of market, in a circle around spawn with all the Exchange NPCs. Also, you should have to go to a Black Market chest to start selling your stuff.
Part 2: Market
The Prices of the Market stalls can stay, but make sure people know that the stalls are meant for shops. I mean, if they can pay the fee and not have a shop, let them, but intended to be shops.
Updating the Market like this, we should see a much busier Market District around town, and would allow for players to actually make use of that part of spawn.
