I don't think setting a price is going to work, not in a game where you can trade and price literally anything at any price you like. So i propose 2 solutions to avoid what happened in Helmet Heroes.
1- Limit the purchases you can make with emeralds to cosmetic stuff only.
Obviously if area teleportation is added and is only accessible with emeralds, the price is going to skyrocket making the game kind of pay2win, or at least pay-2-become-rich-as-heck. So i think just keeping all purchases cosmetic would solve that issue to a certain degree since emeralds wouldn't be a necessary thing to have in the game. Plus there are so many interesting and attractive things that can be cosmetic only and still be tempting for people to buy.
Stuff like :
Idle stances (as mentioned in another post i couldn't find)
Skin color or some sort of unique art design for your character or your set of armor
Footsteps with a customizeable color
A cape maybe? Or a flag similar to the guild flag in HH
The list goes on
2- Simply make the emeralds non-tradeable (hear me out)
Ofcourse this is assuming that payvault items in Eliatopia won't be too powerful or important, like 60% resale or double drop rate in Helmet Heroes for example. Just make it so that the economy of the game is not affected by anything you can buy with real life money. And if something like area teleportation is added (not super important but is extremely convenient) you can get it by supporting the creator of the game with a purchase.
I know it's kind of late to make a suggestion like this as emeralds have already been made tradeable and lots of people have bought or sold emeralds, but i really do hope that some sort of fix or workaround is prepared to ensure that emeralds won't just be the new tickets.
Emerald Pricing Issue
Re: Emerald Pricing Issue
i basically agree but..
1. teleport isn't gonna be added but i think he said he is still adding fast travel of some kind
and
2. guild flags are coming i just don't know when
I agree with the rest of what you said
