Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Frequent Customer Discount

I haven't thought too hard about this, just a random idea I thought of, so it probably has a lot of flaws.

So basically, the more of an item you buy, the cheaper that item gets. This kinda like something that someone else posted about dynamic shop prices, except that was global but this only gives you a discount. It could work similar to the login bonuses. It could be based on the number of that item you own, or how often you buy that item. I think maybe it would be better if it was based on the number of the item. This would be quite helpful to those who want to buy loads of a single item (like me who bought 700 switch doors/gates).

Re: Frequent Customer Discount

Awesome idea, would have been very helpful when I first started buying 101 spawns, 100 checkpoints, 500 portals, 400 invisi portals and 100-110 of every other block except world portals, cake and hologram.

Could have saved me some time...

Re: Frequent Customer Discount

This would be very useful, and would stop the need for making these unlimited, it'd make the prices more reasonable.

The reduction doesn't have to be too crazy either, only like 10 energy off, per purchase.

@tomkazaz
Well, we know they can get a count from the PayVault, as well as the starting energy price. From there they could just create some formula that decreases per purchase # from start price... + a bottom limit.

Re: Frequent Customer Discount

How about milestones? Bought them for your first time? You get a lower price. Bought it Ten Times? You get an even lower price. Bought them 25 times? You get an ever lower price & so on.

That's not as effective though, because it only affects few of your purchases.

Re: Frequent Customer Discount

What if you got builder's club, and every item in the shop was 10% cheaper? Or, your energy cap would increase depending on how many times you visited?

Re: Frequent Customer Discount

This could make building worlds a whole lot easier when it comes to multi-purchase items, I like it!

Re: Frequent Customer Discount

i would prefer a more realistic discount system

say, for example, ee has a -50 energy discount on zombie gates today

the next day zombie gates price turns back to normal and blue/gold coin doors are -25 energy off

it is basically a random discount system that happens every day, or maybe every week
it is also global, so everyone gets a fair share of discounts

Meanwhile in the staff room...

I personally like the original idea of the price decrease every time you buy an item.

what Hexagon said, but also EE isn't real life and I came up with this idea to make the shop more builder-friendly.
