C$ Bank!

[amarok.]

oh i like the idea of having multiple saving stashes! my current bank has the same feature and it's been incredibly useful for me to manage long-term goals. i can absolutely see how useful this would be on cs. support!

thank you for the support!

I think this seems like a good idea.

No support for the suggestion of interest though. Since C$ originates from real money, this would benefit those who earn C$ through trades, etc. more, in that I don't have to spend a cent of real money and I'd get it saved up. Also building on someone's point, the money goes to support the site and keep it running.

Another thing I haven't seen anyone bring up (unless I missed it, then my bad), but could be useful, is perhaps a feature in the bank to limit withdrawal? So you can deposit unlimited amount of times to your bank, but maybe only withdraw "x amount of times" per week or per month. And "x" can be a set number globally for all users, so individuals don't have too much control otherwise this feature would lose it's purpose. For those who really need extra help on impulse control. (Now, if you go ahead and withdraw all of it....can't do much for you there )

Support! Something that I don't think has been mentioned is that it's currently hard to keep track of C$ if you have a lot of transactions going on. Every time I make a c$ trade I have to check myself. Okay, I'm giving out 150C$ in a contest so I have to save that... Oh, and also I've promised another 30C$ for art, and yet another 10C$ for a smaller piece. I have enough- oh wait, I have another trade with this C$. It's confusing. @-@ Putting the money I can't currently use into a savings account would allow me to see at a glance how much I actually have available for spending.

thank you for your support! I'll add your idea to the front wspeare ^^

i don't feel that limited withdrawals would be a great idea. a lot of users including me enjoy ordering lots of art of their characters and so would have to take out a lot of withdrawals fairly often. also, people can get things wrong a lot with pricing, so what happens in a "i thought this was x c$ but it was actually y c$, but i've maxed out my withdrawals so i can't fix it for an entire week" scenario, or a "i thought this shop/these customs were open and send a trade but they weren't and now i can't withdraw any more to buy something else" one?

if this feature was added there would be a very low chance of me using it. i have poor impulse control on a lot of things, but i feel saving c$ and not spending it on everything that catches my eye isn't one of them.

As someone who constantly deals with c$ this is a wonderful idea! Support! Only thing I do not agree with is limited withdrawals. It’s my c$ so I should be able to access when I want it. NOW for those who do need help in only withdrawing a bit of a time maybe there could be an optional timer?

thank you both for the support!
and thank you for your input jellyphants c:

i've seen some people saying they don't support because they wouldn't really use it or they are responsible enough to just not spend their c$, and i wanted to say that this would probably be a system more for parents than actual users. especially for younger players, parents are typically the ones to pay for c$ and the younger you are, the more likely you are to spend your c$ more frivolously. in general, younger children don't understand finances, savings, and the like as well as older players do. i know when i was playing this when i was younger, if i had as much c$ as i do now, i would be spending it left and right on anything that caught my eye because i had little self-control. now that i'm an adult living on my own, i understand the concepts of saving money and only spending it when needed. having a banking system would allow parents who pay for their children's c$ make sure they are not spending it unwisely by toggling withdrawal limits, transfer options, locked bank accounts, monthly/daily payment limits, and the like, which are all functions available for actual bank accounts in the real world. as i mentioned before, it would also be a great way for kids to learn about banking and savings in the real world, which is something that is not taught well enough in schools (at least in the us).

idk, just my thoughts.

I know that this hasn't seen some replies in a while but please please PLEASE impliment this. It would be really helpful to seperate what i have and whats owed to users.

As well as for saving up for personal goals.
