    Please take time to read all of this before someone simply says no and locks it.

    Minecraft ign:

    Suggestion:
    Raising cost of melons back up to $3 each.​
    Reasons:
    1. Every other method of farming has significant perks. Nether warts, wheat, potatoes, and carrots can all be auto farmed with the use of a gate.
    2. Wheat lags extremely bad when used in large auto-farms. By increasing the price of melons the server would have a decreased number of players experiencing client-side lag due to large wheat farms.
    3. Andrewkm said himself that he wanted 15k-20k an hour as a salary. With my eff5 unb3 silk tools I can get 10k. If I am lucky.
    4. No other method of farming requires the cost of tools that melon farming does. An eff5 unb3 silk pick will usually cost someone 25k at least. An axe that goes slightly faster is close to double that amount. It would take 2-5 hours of farming in order to simply pay off the tools spent in the first place.
    So to sum it up:
    Melons take the most amount of effort, the do not lag the slightest bit, they take the highest grade of tools, and still don't even make the most amount of money per hour.

    I agree, however Andrewkm does not agree. He believes they are just fine as they are sadly :/
    He`s probably denied this suggestion at least 5 times :/

    Last time I farmed I managed to make roughly17.8k in 1 hour and 15 minutes, that's 3.56k every 15 minutes or 14.24k an hour.
    This is in a relatively small farm(relatively small being theyounggun's farm), with eff 5 silk touch 1 unb 3 axe. (without fly, with enchant repair)

    with the new prices that would be roughly 19k an hour, which is WAY too much.

    How is 19k too much, when pumpkins make 20k a hour? Fly makes no difference when it comes to melons, and theyounggun's farm isn't small, it's one of the best melon farms on the server.

    You know, you don't have to raise the price by $0.50 each time. Maybe $1.75? Or $1.60?

    These two quotes proved exactly what I was trying to say. Despite the extra money you have to invest to get a silk touch, pumpkins still make more money currently.

    This post isn't about me simply making more money. It's about all forms of farming being evened out. The two ways to do this would be to either ban auto-farms, to decrease the price of pumpkins and wheat, or to increase the price of melons.

    Bringing this back up after the bukkit problems. I'm not very well informed on the 1.4.6 update, but I think that swords can't get silk touch, therefore melons make much less now.

    I agree because in 1.4.6 ECC made mining a melon slower. +1

    Just to point out a eff5 silk1 unb3 tool would only cost 5-10k in the current prices and the price will only go down with 1.4.6.

    It's a bukkit issue, not a part of the update; but I do agree melons need a little bump in price.

    Chargers efficiency 5 was nerfed with 1.4.6, along with the bukkit issue.

    $3 per melon is just stupid, you cant compensate for the eff5 bug as it could be fixed at any moment, id maybe suggest rising them to $1.75 and seeing what happens.

    Still i think its good farming is at a low price, the server used to be full of farms if prices keep low then sooner or later less people will farm, towns will become actual houses and the server will look nicer to new users.
