[Suggestion] Bring back the labor bench

Discussion in 'Suggestion Box Archives' started by HazardousCode, Sep 7, 2020.

  1. What happened to Labor Benches? Why has it been so many years since they were possible to purchase?

    For reference: Labor Benches are a promo that were released every year from 2013-2017. It is disappointing to be a player that has joined since that tradition seemily inexplicably ended.

    Why leave the rest of us out? Why not keep up with something you've established?

    This seems to be a common theme... we're not good at keeping up traditions.
  2. I think it was because the market was so saturated with labor day benches, the older population got tired of the tradition. As similarly with the remembrance poppy, there has been discussion on keeping it around and I think this was voted out
  3. Do you know where this was discussed?

  4. Should bring the labor bench back but put soul bound on it.
  5. Honestly, I'm kind of split on this idea:

    Yes, we should bring back the Labor Workbench, mainly since EMC has had a good past of doing promos (pre-2018). Not only that, but I'd argue that the Labor Bench is probably one of the most useful (and functional) promos that was still released. A lot of players would be happy to own one of they were not here for the 2016 or 2017 releases.

    However... not many new players are asking for it. Also, the market is quite oversaturated in... well, everything. I do not think that adding more promos to the market will do anything but grind the market to a screeching halt, more than it is now (If it hasn't already). Essentially, the new promo would be almost worthless, but useful.

    I really wish that things were a bit more better on EMC than right now. (In terms of the market.)
