I've noticed that the glass blocks in the RoF shop are absurdly expensive. A stack of the things would cost you 512 cookies (over 1 gm scookie).
And glass isn't easy to get unless you grab a ton of sand and smelt that. Dyes are cheap, but damn is glass hard to get.
So I've come to this idea -- a player shop of glass.
Basically, whoever has the time and patience to make glass can then sell it at a price. I've made one trade already with the rate of 1 scookie = 4 stacks of any glass color.
It's efficient and user-friendly for everyone. The seller gets money and the buyer saves a LOT of money, based on the rank. Below are the prices in cookies for a single block if we follow the 4 stacks/256 blocks = scookie.
2 cookies for Grandmasters
1.2 cookies for Masters
0.6 cookies for Experts
0.3 cookies for Journeymen
0.1 cookies for Apprentice
(not 100% exact as I don't want to write long decimal numbers and I don't know how many cookies a scookie is worth to each rank)
I like building with glass and I've noticed a lot of people like it, but unless there's a staff member or somebody who's VERY rich online (or somebody like me who collects sand and makes his own glass), there won't be any glass on the maps.
As it stands, I'm only doing this with glass but some other items (such as nether and stone bricks) could also work (but I doubt that since it's very easy to make stone bricks and nobody uses nether bricks unless they find them because they're useless compared to the easily obtainable stone bricks).
