    Item/Rank/Feature: Fish (Raw and Cooked)
    Name of item/rank/feature that you wish to discuss about.

    Data Value: Raw Fish = 349 and Cooked fish = 350
    Data value of the item. Please click here for a list of item data values. (This is non-applicable for Ranks and Features).

    Current Price: The current price of both raw and cooked fish is $20 to server.
    Current pricing of the item. Type: /worth <itemname> ingame, to find the price of the item.

    Suggested Price: My suggested price for rboth types of fish is $40; read below for reasoning.
    Suggested pricing for the item.

    Brief Description: Raw fish is obtained by getting a fishing rod, casting it into water and then reeling in when a fish bites. Cooked fish is obtained by getting a raw fish (How to catch a raw fish is shown above) and then cooking it in a furnace.
    A brief description of how this item/rank/feature is obtained.

    Open Discussion: Before, when fish was $50 to server, I didn't think of it as overpriced because when I am at spawn just lending a hand in chat, I got a decent amount of money, of course much less than farming, but still, a decent amount to keep me through my ECC day. Now, at $20 to server, I am having trouble making money while at spawn. I realize that auto-fishers were the ones who ignited this change, but I asked in global how much they made per hour and most of them said 5k-12k, which is fairly good. There were also some odd people out who said less than that or more than that!
    Present your case as to why this item/rank/feature would need to face nerfs or buffs.

    Posting a poll for people who fished to say what they made per hour!

    Personally, I think that fish prices were not overpriced at all. Even with melon farming, one could make just as much as we did with fishing, when fishing was $50/fish and melons were impossible to farm. I'm sure many, many others would want to re-increase the price of fishies.

    +1 i think fish should still at least be 40 because it it still time consuming.

    $40 with auto-fishers or $50 without auto-fishers are the 2 options being debated right now.

    As long as it's non AFK, it should be allowed! I'm too lazy to click, and it's already destroying my mouse xD

    Personally, I think the first option is good.

    I say ban every one who uses any modification to minecraft that takes any action away from you the player any automation = boting = ban even if they are donators and DONATING SHOULD NEVER BE A REASON TO GET AWAY WITH CHEATING and automation is cheating ask any game admin who use economy in there games bots and automated stuff is the biggest headache along with multi accounts and exploiters.

    If its ok for auto fishers to auto fish its ok for people to auto mine use bots anything with the argument "as long as Im not afk then its ok" lets see a bunch of bots run around all day see what that dose to economy Id like a answer to this and reason why you allow botters and automation of this kind on your servers

    this was so bad a move in my honest opinion the price is too low for time spent legitimately farming fish
    those that used fishing tables are not auto fishers cause they still have to click the fish and use clever game mechanics to do things like using water to farm wheat stuff like that that is smart playing

    but seriously ban all botters and players who use automated modifactions

    Do we have an efficient way to catch autofishers without actually seeing them do it?
