Going off of what is happening with this thread(https://wildercraft.net/forum/topic/818-diorite-notalrite-pick-changes--new-rules-after-the-fact/#post-1647)

In season 7 there is a huge surplus of diamonds and it has ruined the economy for all the older players. This is mostly because of haveing 4 servers into one and with over 200 players a day getting it from vote rewards. With the extra diamonds from the diorite pick and voting rewards it makes it hard to somewhat limit the curency. My idea is in season 8 we should get rid of the pick and you only get diamonds for a weekly reward and for you first 3-12 votes. This will limit the amount of "free" diamonds you can get and make it so you can only get them how minecraft intended for it.

I very much have to agree with this, and people who have money irl will be able to get all the diamonds, and that is being worked on, but as for the vote rewards, you also have to think about next update. There will be a new valuable resource: ancient debris. This will affect the economy everywhere greatly, and will be another, rarer currency. However, people who are fast will get the easy debris from the bastions, but people who are slow won’t be able to get the easy stuff and will have to go mining. This brings up some new questions: what is the value of ancient debris? Will diamonds inflate the economy as much? Will ancient debris inflate the economy? We don’t really have any answers yet, but we can hope that things will go well season 8.
