Thoughts on this hype banner?

[Justis]

As some of you may know, I've been working on my plugin AutoEconomy since summer of 2016; when the alpha version ran on MC-Market's old official MC server.

However, that's only some of you. The rest have never heard the name, and that is precisely why I've created this banner.
AutoEcon is finally nearing the stage I deem acceptable for public sale and use.

Does this hype banner do its job?
Does it make you curious about the plugin?
Does it make you want to learn more?
Does it make you question why you're using a crappy shop plugin with static prices that don't adjust with your server's supply and demand as should be expected of a real economy?

Constructive thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

The quote is my favorite part. 10/10

It looks great and I think that the banner makes the job very well

Looks like a nice and clean banner! I am intrigued by what the plugin is about and would definitely follow to see what it may be, I like the quote as well! I'm guessing it is a plugin which generates custom prices for shops etc and it is balanced? I look forward to seeing the outcome!

Definitely a crisp clean design, but as for the quote maybe instead lead with a question and brief description of the plugin. Because for someone not familiar with the quote stated, they may be less drawn in. Something more grabbing for the reader as say "Looking to make your servers shops more adaptive and realistic? AutoEconomy kicks the players shopping experience up a notch, constantly adjusting prices to fit the economy." Not the greatest example haha but I hope it gets my point across. Just a thought to reach a larger audience and explains to players who may have no idea about shops and price balancing. Pls don't bite[DOUBLEPOST=1511403440][/DOUBLEPOST]Like even as an example of what i' trying to explain, the reply above my first one. "I'm guessing it is a plugin which generates custom prices for shops etc and it is balanced?" Instead of people guessing what it does have people sure of what it does.

StrictlyZen I had been worried that the critical quote + the implied promise of a better alternative to come, might not be clear enough for those simply grazing it over and not thinking about what exactly it means, and let's be honest, most of us don't apply much thought to the ads we see.
However, I struggle to come up with a brief explanation of the plugin's core purpose without butchering the whole thing.
That's why I went with the quote, because the fact that it doesn't attempt to explain everything the plugin does means that people won't read it and assume that it doesn't do anything more interesting than the small explanation put in front of them.
The quote itself was of the very thoughts I had which inspired the creation of the plugin.
I figure for a hype banner, it's my best bet.

Though you are right about the lack of clarity; and I think, to combat that, I might push my appraisal thread ahead of schedule, and have the banner hyperlink to the appraisal thread with all the general information about what the plugin offers. Two birds one stone.
Then I might replace the "coming soon" with "click for info" or something along those lines.
What do you think?

I'd use it if I had a server

Sounds like a really interesting concept. Should be very good for economy based servers if done right. I would totally buy this if I was still running a server. GLWS!

 

[StrictlyZen]

Justis Yeah that would be a good way to tackle the clarity issue, I would definitely include the "click for info".

think you should commission a better one from me
