ok today I have been talking to the mods (along with a lot of people) and I think that since i got my residency from pumpkin farming. that it shouldn't be any harder for a builder now (or in the future) to have to wait longer to get resident. When I was talking to the mods they said the "we"(meaning the non rich people) were selfish. when all along they are the ones who are selfish because they are not thinking about the builders stugle to the the 15k and that took me about a week. but since the price a dropped to 1$ its going to take just under a month! Synwanabe apparently wants people to suffer, meaning take a year to get tycoon!!!!!! One suggestion is that I think that they should just keep the server how it was with pumpkins at $1.50 and help and encourage the builders to get resident,mayor, president, and finally tycoon!!! like i said, i just became a builder and I want to help the server to prosper. but I think this move with the pumpkins is going to make the server go down hill. I also don't want builders to take about a month to get resident!! if U agree with my opinion plzz try and bring it up, and if u don't well then you are cool (sarcasm intended)
There are alternate methods of farming that have become much more profitable in comparison. Or take up mining. And please can you people not rage about pumpkins for sanity's sake.
Considering the fact that you're only factoring in Pumpkins as the only source of income, your figures are completely Misconstrued. Its very easy to get residency, infact there are users who managed to get it in under a day on this server, Purrguin being an example of someone who go to Tycoon within a month or two. In my opinion, residency needs to be bumped in price. It'll denote a harder work ethic, especially if pumpkin prices are dropped. Farming shouldnt be the only way for people to make their money, especially in minecraft.
Prices of pumpkins have fallen by one third, yet you claim it will result in a fourfold loss in profit: Explain how your math is in any way close to sound. Also consider: at previous pumpkin prices I made enough off farming to buy residency, a 100x100 plot, enchanted tools, and ultimately fly/speed in my first week. I have a full-time job and a full-time girlfriend. I don't like getting less money for my work either, but understand that 90% of your complaint (and everybody else's) boils down to: "waaahhh, I'm getting less!"
