Hi all,
So I've recently had issues with theft in my shop in the Shopping District. I know, it happens, and with most stuff I wouldn't care because the all powerful mods and magic rollback can fix it and make it all better, right? Well, that's what I was told, which leads to one of the reasons why I'm making this thread today.
Turns out rollback can't replace enchanted items, including tools and books. Turns out mods can't replace said items either. Also turns out I have to get robbed 3 times within 3 days for a total of about 7 enchanted tools and 1 book before I learn this. Maybe this is one of those things that everyone knows and I'm just the server noob who should have known better, but I was told by multiple people when I was setting up my shop that stolen good could be replaced. So kinda frustrating, cuz lets be real here... diamond tools with Efficiency 4 don't exactly grow on MC trees.
I would like to thank Kitty for giving me the emerald reimbursement for the first few tools that were stolen from me (twice) that I was able to rebuy from my villagers. I wish I had understood that that was literally the best that could be done or I wouldn't have continued selling that way. With all of the craziness that was going on that day, I thought it was just the fastest and most convenient solution. Lesson learned the hard way I guess.
So my suggestion to the mods... You might want to give new shop owners full disclaimers about what you can't replace and discourage them from using the trust-based system for selling non-replaceable items.
Which leads me to my second point: is there really no better way to run shops on servers? Can mods not be given access to Creative Mode to replace everything? Is there a server download that can make shopping more reliable and secure? It seems like the Shopping District is such a popular feature of the server, and yet it causes so much trouble for mods, shop owners and the occasional player who somehow gets wrongfully accused of stealing. I mean, I can't be the only one who gets frustrated by the stealing, right? No better solutions? Anyone?
Thanks for listening... Overall, I really enjoy this server, and I would like to thank all of the mods for their time putting up with a lot of crap.
