[PJJ] A Better Economy for All: Bring Back Trading and Money Commands!

The Issue

Project JoJo is a game I truly love and support. Though unfortunately, recent updates have removed the ability to trade stands and money through the use of commands. After having played with these changes, I feel that these changes have restricted the flow of PJJ's economy and here's why.

First, let's start off with the removal of money command (!pay {Player} [Amount]). Since the update, money can not longer be traded in return for goods and services. Which makes money in the game virtually worthless, as the only things you can buy with your money are overpriced stand arrows and other items at Shop. Some people say, "Oh, but you can just use your money to buy arrows and then trade those arrows for goods and services." We'll what if I don't want/need stand arrows. What if I'm selling an rare item that took me 5-6 hours of farming? What's the buyer gonna do offer 100 arrows? What if the seller already has his preferred stand? He has no use for a stand arrow. Also, arrows will despawn in your inventory. So, see where I'm getting at? Money before had the versatility to be traded for anything. Money at it's current state only serves one purpose... a stand arrow.

Now onto Stand Trading. The only way to trade stands currently is by using White Snake which requires 3-4 players (depending on whether your trading, a stand for a stand which requires 4 players, or a stand for an item which requires 3 players) to complete the transaction. Considering how difficult this is to perform as White Snake is one of the rarest stands in the game, you must also trust the people who take part in the trade and hope that they don't scam you. This way of trading stands discourages players, and punishes players who do not have the luxury of having a White Snake. I strongly disagree with forcing the economy run through White Snake, as all it does is stump the flow of the PPJ's economy by limiting only certain players to partake in trading. White Snake should stay with what it originally intended for "stealing stands".

To our beloved developers, I understand that money command was removed to prevent "money duping" and to stop exploiters from giving out infinite amounts of cash. But in doing so, money has lost its value in trading. Removing the ability to trade money was a very rushed solution. I truly believe that there is a better solution to solve this crisis of exploitation, as I too do not want illegal/exploited currency to go into the economic circulation.
As for stand trading, I understand that you guys were going for a more "accurate to the JoJo Universe" approach to game. But it sacrifices your players ability to freely trade stands (that they've grinded effortlessly to get) among other players.
I appreciate all the work you have put into this game, and really enjoying the new leveling features. Thank you, Project JoJo Development Team.

Instead try to go about this in a good manner. I do not wish to harass the developers in any way over this petition. My main goal is to share with them community feedback on improving the game.
