Try to avoid using exploits such as that, instead please report them. It makes our job a lot easier.

To all of those for whom I caused problems:
I'm sorry. It wasn't okay for me to use the exploit. I didn't think about the problems it could cause nor the moral implications of it. Challenger is right, exploits should be reported. Diamonds clearly had an intended price, and I ignored that. It was a bad decision. Challenger took most of the diamonds I had gotten, and I'm ashamed to admit that my first thoughts were of how much iron they had cost, rather than how my actions had affected the rest of the server. A while later, I realized how incredibly wrong that was. I have since thrown the remaining stack of diamond blocks on the floor of my house, and they were subsequently deleted by clearlag. I don't feel like that's enough, but it's a start, and I can't help but hope that there's a chance you all might forgive me.

Quite alright, it's good you brought it to our attention.

Removing ores from the shop is better than switching to iConomy, mctopia is the only server I've ever been on that uses iron shop to such an extent. It made it stand out in my eyes, and I found it easier (when I wasn't a spawning rank) than other servers with different methods of commerce.

Yes, and I'd rather out my time and effort into getting something I can use not only in the shop but also elsewhere.

And corr, you're fine.

Exactly. With the system we have now, iron is not only an item and a block, but currency. Multiple uses, haha, which I haven't seen on other servers too much.

I was just throwing an idea out there, if you'd like I could go through and try to find any other exploits and write them down.
Personally I think things are too cheap to buy, you can get fully enchanted Armor and Tools for close to a stack of Iron, which isn't hard to get.

True, but Enchanting the armour makes it break faster, so it evens it out, but it should be raised a tad.

You can put unbreaking on them and then you can repair them for like 16 iron ingots.

Yes that is true, although if you get attacked by a player you cant go to shop, repair it, then go back, and if you aren't into anything like that using a lapis block to repair is much more efficient.

Exactly, once you enchant if you have a lapis block you keep it forever.
