Spawn eggs

Afro_ · June 11, 2013, 10:45:04 PM

Hey. I've noticed the lack of animals at my place, and its not cuz I kill them all. With spawn eggs in the Market, it would make it much easier to get animals etc. For the price it would probably cost like 10k per egg, depending on the mob/animal. And having to earn the money wouldn't really count as lazy, would it, if you staff told us we were being "lazy"?

So many times this has been suggested, the answer is no.

This has already been suggested. The answer will not have been changed: No.

I'm curious: Why is the answer no on these?

Spawn eggs only have 1 use per item, so it's not like people could spam them.

Also, I've seen this suggestion before, but that thread was deleted....did the poster delete it or am I going crazy?

well having spawn eggs will not help the fact that this is a survival sever but I do like the idea we need a better way to get the staff to attention and think more about it but having to find animals is hard but what if the eggs despawn then you got ton's of members' yelling and or helpoping about there eggs. Also if a egg is stole the staff I don't think can find it and even so what if the refuse to give it back causing ton's of trouble for both ends but indeed I still like the idea but if they say no its a no D:

The answer was no because they are too much trouble. Ex 1:

I buy or donate for one at the market. I accidently right click after I buy it and I spawn it in the market. I complain to staff and annoy them.

Ex 2: I buy or donate for one at the market. I spawn it wherever I want( At your home or whatever). Someone comes by and kills it. Simple as that. I complain to staff and annoy them.

Portal meaning that one topic could link you to another. But anyway, I have seen this as a donation package, but never just in the market. This could cause less people going to staff if they lost it or something.

I just noticed something,

under donations, someone could pay $5 for 50 experience levels.

Only issue is that if you die, you lose all of those levels, correct?

Has there been any issue with players donating for that package, and then complaining to staff about it? I assume it hasn't for one reason or another because the donation package still exists.
Spawn eggs would be the same as there would be a couple ways (such as death) that could cause you to lose the eggs. If people haven't complained about losing their exp from donating, then why would complaints from spawn eggs be any worse?

More likely than not, people that buy that package would use it too quickly to die and lose it.

I think if spawn eggs are implemented, it should only be passive mobs and should be quite expensive, as you only need 2 to breed your own. The primary market for spawn eggs would be those that want to start up a farm but can't find the mobs for it or can't lead them to where they want the farm. Villagers can be the most difficult to acquire.

Curing zombie villagers works for me. Pushing them into a mine cart for transporting them works as well.

it would be amazing to have spawn eggs for the horses, which by the way, are comming out on monday!

Yeah, and it works for me too, but it takes ages to get the zombie villagers to spawn in the first place. It also requires you to get 2 splash potions of weakness and a couple of golden apples.

Not majorly difficult to acquire, but if you don't already have access to them, it can take quite a while.
