I think what many really want to know is if the following items will be present in Cash Shop at launch:
-Lunar/Solar/Stellar Scarecrows for Credits.
-Treehouse designs for Credits.
-Parrot / Anywhere Mailboxes for Credits.
-Majestic Trees for Credits.
-Mining Drills for Credits.
If the first three are present, could you please consider removing them as they completly change the nature of the land rush, enabling level 1 characters to just rush to a location and lock down a sizable area of land, not to mention key locations like Kraken Island?
Your efforts are greatly appreciated,
100% agree with this, atleast the -Lunar/Solar/Stellar Scarecrows shouldn't be available till atleast a few days or a week after launch, this would be great.

Lunar/Solar/Stellar scarecrows are also a problem no matter what as the 8x8 quest allows you enough tax certs to put some down.
Imo, it's either remove tax certs from marketplace or remove lunar/solar/stellar/treehouse designs AND anywhere mailboxes.
These completly change the nature of the land rush and favor level 1 mount rushes.

Yes, above listed items are available in the Cash Shop for Credits, and after careful consideration, the Administration decided not to remove them.
Scarecrows 8x8 will cost you approx 1 hour of playing, whereas scarecrow 16x16 might take just a day. Also, please remember about the limit of 2 unbuilt properties. It's absolutely possible to get several small scarecrows and lock down some area just in one day.
In addition, Scarecrows from Donate have a limit of 1 per account, you cannot buy more than 1. You can not transfer it anyhow.

I have a few issues to address with this.
1. Having 2 (maybe 3) 16x16 scarecrows which are auto built when placed means 1 person can take between 4-5 16x16 spots. Simply buy tax certs and be mailed cottages by guildmates. Meaning guilds who are large enough can mount rush specific areas and completely lock them down.
2. The screenshots posted do not show all items in cash shop. Many of the posts say 1/5 or 1/7 which indicates a possibility for things that would break a launch ie. 28x28 treehouses, anywhere mailbox.
3. This method completely shuts out f2p players and forces those who want to be competitive to pay money or lose out.

So does this include majestic trees and mining drills? They will be allowed to place these things on the farms, bringing thousands of wood into the market for free, completely killing any early game tree growing or illegal tree farm.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Will Credit Boxes be in?
P.S: You do know we can get one Lunar, one Stellar and one Solar scarecrow per account, right?

Yes, we're aware of that, but the Tax Certs themselves being on the Cash Shop is what's breaking this.
This is also 2.9, so Rokhala, Sunbite, Ahnimar and Airain Rock will not be present including all of the land plots they brought into the game.
As mentioned above, just buying the two 16's from the credit shop and a few taxes lets ONE person block off quite a bit of land if placed right. Now any semi-organized group could easily block off entire housing districts within a matter of 20 minutes.
Removing the Tax Certs from the shop alone prevents this as they still require taxes to be put down, so you can place your 8x8 if you want, but the real rush to level to 52 to be able to craft taxes comes into play.
@IronLady - Remove the Tax Certs from the Cash Shop please. They are launch breaking.

You act as if this server will be as populated as Live at launch. There won't be the massive land rush that you're imagining, and no matter what they do, there WILL be a land rush but one way they make a bit more $$. Either way I'm ready.
