I'm tired of this back and forth blabber. I think this, you think that, I'm done debating (believe it or not :p)

 

Matty, debating is my FAVORITE thing to do. We could go back and forth about this for days. I believe this, you believe that.
I'm not getting out.

It's like religion. You believe this, they believe that.

 

I find this arguing unnecessary. I don't think andrew would want to see this.
Fact:
Farming is much more profitable than mining and MOST LIKELY always will be that way.
Opinion:
Gold should go up (Which does need a little bump)
I rest my case.

 

Unless theres a reset. For about 5 hrs mining is better :)

 

Bumping gold ingots up 2 dollars won't make mining tons more profitable. It's more like the server giving you an extra dollar for each vote. It won't make it much more profitable. In the long run Maaaaybe, but barely noticeable.

 

"Positive effect" is a matter of opinion. It might have a positive effect on your balance, but it might just deflate the value of the ecodollar even more. People are trying to take money OUT of the economy, not put it IN. So it might just be a negative effect. You can't add a suggestion based solely on the fact that you think it's a "positive effect".
If the masses see ALL the pluses and cons and agree mainly on one way, good or bad, then I'd say that in ECC it's a good reason to add something. But Andrew has the final word in everything.

 

Well not really,I found lots of spawners and temples yesterday., but I agree gold is SO rare it Definatly needs a huge bump so +1

 

Why is this thread not being addressed?
It hasn't been addressed by a single mod.

 

What do you mean with addressed?

 

I think he means that this thread has so many likes yet nobody who can do anything about the prices has commented on it.

 

They don't have to comment to make a decision. He could just be ignoring the thread because he disagrees with it. Or maybe andrew hasn't made his mind up? Likes aren't much, arguments are what matters most. Andrew may have yet to be convinced on why this should be added.

 

Ok, now a mod has posted.;)

 

I thought you were arguing, not debating. Farming is just more reliable than mining. That is what I think, but gold as I said earlier in the post does need a bump. I also never said that farming should be more profitable as well.

 

Bump

 

As long as there are users buying gold ingots for more than the server price, there's no need for a price change. Server price is for items that have no significant demand from users (like pumpkins - apologies to everyone who is actually building a pumpkin pyramid), but should still be able to serve as a source of income to users.

Furthermore, exactly because gold is so rare, it's not a good idea to increase gold price if your goal is to give mining an advantage over farming. Increasing redstone from 2.50 to 3 or coal from 1 to 1.50 would probably increase the average profit of one mining run more than increasing gold from 10 to 20.
