    Item/Rank/Feature:
    Logs.

    Current Price:
    $0.20

    Suggested Price:
    $0.30+

    Brief Description:
    Now let me start off by saying, woodcutting SHOULD be more then pumpkin farming, I will argue why below. Logs currently make me 5k per hour and I have 1033 woodcutting, and mcmmo bonus plus. Woodcutting should make 15k-20k per hour, once again, I will argue why below.

    Open Discussion:
    For woodcutting to actually be profitable you would generally need 1000+ woodcutting, this takes hours upon hours to achieve. You also need fly, e repairs (major, I bought ++ and it is a major help), you need mcmmobonus plus, and to even have a chance at training woodcutting you need mcmmo+++. In total this is 250 dollars in donation features. You also need a good axe to even break the trees using tree feller. Not to mention the fact that tree farms are incredibly more difficult to make and maintain (replanting, getting rid of leaves), where as pumpkins just re grow without any effort. Although to make pumpkin farming profitable you do indeed need a good axe, and fly. However e repairs is not a must, when you are tree felling trees an Eff 5 unb 3 axe goes down about 1/8 the durability making it quite common to break a tool which is now ~8k-10k , this will get more users to donate for ext commands ++ for the auto repair. Pumpkins however are 1 break at a time, and the tools last a TON longer than when you are tree felling. So I will list what you need to tree farm, and what you need to pumpkin farm.

    Tree Farming -
    $250 dollars in features, possibly $300 (All mcmmo perks, Ext commands++, Fly, buying mcmmo levels)
    More of a risk of breaking a max diamond axe(happens very often)
    Manual replanting
    Hours upon hours of labor training Mcmmo
    Can only farm for 25 seconds, then have to wait ~3 minutes

    Pumpkin farming -
    Really only need $60 in features
    Less of a risk of breaking a max diamond axe
    Automatic replanting (pumpkin regrowth)
    No Mcmmo is needed
    Constant farming, very easily to be made automatic using macro mod.

    +1. This would also increase the market for eff10 axes.

    You dont really need to buy mcmmo levels to get to 1000 Woodcutting,
    Its probably the easiest one apart from Acro :p

    I dont see why it shouldnt go up i guess,
    But 15k an hour doing logs is like melon sword rate...

    It doesnt take very long to get to 1000 woodcutting. Even without the mcmmo bonuses.

    In my opinion tree farming should make more than melon farming, it requires more donations which equal more ecodollars than an eff 7 is worth. Plus just like pumpkin farming there is no replanting and no mcmmo needed, no donation features need for that matter. @Mission001

    Tree farming should make ~11-12k/hour, which is still a lot of ecodollars IMO
    But otherwise +1, logs are way too low.

    I agree with Shane, woodcutting should make around 11-12k/hr.

    Raising price of logs would increase their price, making building and all other needs for wood more expensive. Things like stone, stonebrick, dirt and wood are building materials. Most logs, like jungle logs, can already be sold for $0.75 each. (Coco farms). Logs arent something you want to expensive.

    As a user with woodcutting 1620+, I believe this should be implemented as there are only a select few who have gotten over woodcutting 1000, and this is done mainly by purchasing mcmmo features. It would boost the eff10 axe market as well as push more users to consider purchasing mcmmo supporter features.

    +1 A slight increase in price is needed for woodcutting.

    I don't think it should be worth the same as melon farming but I agree that it needs a price increase.
