+1, Great Idea! I hope this happens!!

 

Changed title to "[suggestion for increasing the price of cooked fish and possibly potatoes]".

 

[edit] ---> [more options] ----> change title

 

The price is the same because you make the other money from the exp you get from cooking the meat, should you decide to cook it.
Also moved to the right forum.

 

Not to be negative on this, but when I see the price of fish in general I laugh. We are supposedly a "hardcore economy" yet diamonds are cheaper than fish (cooked or raw) now how does this happen? How long does it take one to find a diamond and the tools needed for it? For $30 you buy a fishing rod, and about a minute later you can have the price returned catching a fish.

Not disputing your idea with the fish and the reasoning, but personally I would like to see fish below the $20 but same principal. Raw fish $19.50 cooked fish $20.00 per say.

Flame away but this is my personal opinion for pricing, not the idea behind what you suggest.

 

If you want to know how this happens I shall tell you.

A few months ago a User by the name of Camcliff decided to lower the price of diamonds from 100$+ per to 85$ per and he did this by buying them for more than everyone else and selling them for less than everyone else. and he did this over the course of a few weeks. Then fast foward to some time later a user by the name of lnspecthergadget decided he wanted them lower and he was told that he could never lower them to the price he wanted them to be lowered to. So he bought one of the best spawn shops you can get then bought all the of diamonds he could and then set the price to I believe 45 or 50$ per diamonds. Then he single handedly crushed the diamond market, and since we have so many diamonds in the market the prices stayed low despite efforts to bring them back up in price, the highest they got back up to was 70$ per diamond, then they crashed down again.

 

Are you serious Netsui ?? Why would someone want to do that?? Explains a fair bit to why the price is as it is. So diamonds are pretty well pointless to make money from these days.

 

Because he was told he couldn't.

 

While hiring people to fish for my diamonds, they have uprisings and just sell their fish. With 6 people fishing for me they get a bit more than the server while fishing if this was implemented. Cooked fish is pretty much nonexistent now due to porkchops from voting.

Cooked items should only be $0.05 more than the un-cooked item because charcoal is worth $0.40 and cooks 8 items in a furnace. $0.40/8 = $0.05, but no one is really bothered by that $0.05 so it is left how it is.
