Vending machines will never be added to Pixel Worlds. This is because they create unfairness and inequality by letting only a select few gain monopolies on items and making it more difficult for the rest. PWE was implemented as the solution for selling items automatically because it’s a fair and level playing field for everyone.

OK I need to explain some things. Vends are not necessarily what most people think. Before I keep on explaining, I’ve recently joined Growtopia again and I’m doing fine. But anyways, vending machines help everybody, not select rich people. Yes, rich people will make more money off of vends, but that doesn’t mean it’s unfair and difficult. After rejoining the game 5 days ago, I’ve managed to earn 52+ world locks in profit just from vending, and coming from me, that’s huge. So, is it difficult and unfair like most people say? No. Us poor people in the game can focus on one thing to farm and sell in one vend, while the bigger and much more rich people have to focus on restocking 300+ vends every few days. So in this situation I say the poor people have a better advantage, only having to worry on farming every few days and restocking one vend. All I’m trying to say is, the more poor, the less work restocking. The more rich, the more time you spend restocking. And no, I’m not choosing sides, but the vend needed to be talked about.

PWE is completely fine right now. If you want to dump all your stock, then you are expected to sell it at lower rate to entice people to buy in bulk. That’s always how it is both in real life, and in most games. When you sell items individually, you can charge premium for the convenience of not having to buy the item in bulk.

Nah, not really. That might be the case if there’s regular traffic to your world. In reality, unless you have rare name (those stupid BUY+ names), then your worlds won’t be visited ever. Unless when you’re there, and it gets into the active world list.

Well no, what most people would do is go to the buy world and say something like this every few seconds, “Sell Rock 200/1wl go to AFAAS”. That’s how you would get people to buy your things. Trust me, it works very well.

Well, that in itself defeats the whole purpose of vending machine or at least nulls most of its benefit. The main attraction to vending is that you can sell while doing something else or even offline. You do not get this. Instead, you have to spam the message on those worlds to get perhaps one or two people to buy. Your ‘poor man’s advantage’ is very miniscule that you could do the same thing without vending. PWE however allows you to do this while being away, doing something else. Granted, you pay a small fee, but not only is it a good way to money sink, but also you can do something else while your item is selling. This, in most cases, would lead you with more money even after the fee.

What would you vote for?

“Offline” Vending machine where you need to have a bot army to spam messages 24/7

or

Offline Vending machine where it’s universal and everyone gets the access free

PWE has simple endless competition to reduce and sell faster its fair playing all have same changes to sell or buy…
If you require special stuff add order in PWE and wait often u shall get if there is players who want sell items.

ps. Small update should be implemented in PWE UI orders and inventory, when accessing PWE order tab items in your inventory should get highlighted if there is order for those and you could check price easy.

Vending machines are pointless in this time and in future - its for those who want buy all out control market way more strickt and abuse it to earn. It ruined markettin in Growtopia and all other games what had Vending machine, as its main purpose is have items 24/7 endless as owner doesn’t even need to be online other than his friends to buy in stuff to keep up monopoly of item or items.

for those who want benefit from not being online, endless selling with no time limit sadly Pixelworlds aint offline game. I used to play GT havent been there for more than 2 year’s … having 100s thousands WLs in Vendmachines and they still are filling. due controlling market there even not being active is Ruining community after all.

Don’t see any problem with having both in the game. The “rich will only benefit” argument is pointless, if you are rich you benefit from anything, for example rich people can buy the best gears and earn the most gems from mining, does that mean we have to remove mining or fishing?

You guys keep saying that “rich gets richer” so no vends, but now pw economy still works the same way, the rich can just buy limited item like dp when it’s cheap and wait for rise. Also with PWE you can’t sell expensive stuff, because you will lose a lot of bc.

For casual players there might be no problem with PWE, but for a player who actually wants to achieve something, PWE might be not good enough.

Even better, you could also advertise your shop on discord.

Yes rich can buy … this means 24/7 watching after PWE so none else will buy, how intense is that would be to watch over and try control, then lots players who even wont sell due waiting rising prices and controling ends
Vending Machine offline selling isnt same system and controlling Buy+Item world. It’s soo easy Buy+Item name worlds can be 1 on each, so u can control without actually even being present.

Auctioneer in WOW, Auctioneer in Neverwinter, Auctioneer in EVE, and in 100s of other games always proven to be more equal and PWE is based on Auctioneer system exception there is no Auction. Everyone can set price to sell everyone can buy in price range as they want in order. In my oppinion Pixelworlds have allready best buy and sell system after auctioneer.

Games with an Auctioneer you mentioned have players, while pw hasn’t much. Most of them would just buy items that are cheap and not rare. Yes, with pwe you could sell and buy these easily. But some items aren’t worth selling there. BSP, baits, booster stuff… if we had more space for selling and people could choose how much of an item they want to buy, then I wouldn’t have any problem with PWE.

Tarm u have no idea but player amount in PW is around 500k / day. Possible more, there is just so many players who dont react spams to join worlds.

ps. I do not spend in Buy world spamming messages allready headache with those.
I believe others feel same.
You should ask question from yourself ‘do i spend my time in Spam buy and sell world or do i spend with my game time to do productive stuff ?’

500k lmao even gt with all its bots has only 1/10 of that, in pw it’s a blessing if it reaches 3k daily

also gt with its “economy breaking vends” has a better and more stable economy than pw
also if u want to sell or buy any item in gt it will take u a couple of minutes, while in pw selling or buying an item can take hours over hours
