User blog:Midnightmoonlight1/The shops will change value to almost all items.

'''Animal jam has recently released a Shop den item, where you put in your items you own and sell them for your desired price of either gems or diamonds. This is a super new fun idea aj has created and all, but theres MANY problems with it I think we can all see. '''

'''1. Having people use gems and diamonds to pay for items which we used to only trade other items for will change the items value. So now instead of a spike being worth den betas it will also be worth a certain amount of diamonds. This will greatly confuse everyone, since we are all used to only trading items, after spending so much time learning the value of a variety of items, it gets difficult, especially as the values of items were already changing everyday to begin with. now we have to figure out the specific value of diamonds/ gems for every item because we are worried about being 'scammed' out of our gems or diamonds due to not knowing the proper amount a certain item is worth. '''

'''2. People will want to stop trading items-for item as much because now we can simply find someone who only wants gems or diamonds so it will be way easier to get a spike when just using those. And gems and diamonds are fairly easy to obtain, so no one will be working that hard to get there items, when they could just pay for them with in game currency. As it took everyone a long time to earn there items way before this happened.'''

'''3. People are arguing about this, saying that what the person is asking for there items is unfair, and this will continue to cause arguments. This is like the nightmare of letting animal jammers to decide all the games item's values. Its a complete mess and I dont think it will work the way aj wants it to .'''

'''4. Overall, this  will probably stop people from trading item for item drastically, and I dont like that. I liked how it was before, because now the only thing we need to work for is gems or diamonds to get what we want. But before it took us time, and we actually had to work for items and trade up to get our desired item which in my case is the proper way to do it. Because this is basically like putting all the items in one big store and you can just buy whatever you want if you have enough money. It takes the whole purpose out of trading.'''
