No, this would cause economic inflation, the economy is fine as it is and doesn't really need tweaks. If you want to make better money farming, just save up for a melon sword, it's not that hard.
People with CJB/Fly and speed make so much money per hour.... If you don't have it, then it's VERY hard to make money farming pumpkins.
Raising the $1 is a very bad idea, $1.75 wouldn't be that bad as they still make less then melons but at least can let you farm your way up to a melon sword.
I dont think raising the price on pumpkins is a good idea. I let residents and builders in my town use/buy pumpkin axes all the time, and they are just AMAZED at the amount of money they can make. I do not think it is our place to say it "is hard to make money farming pumpkins" or "it is nearly impossible to farm pumpkins for a profit. If this is your opinion, then the amount of money you have is so much that you do not appreciate the income, and you should have enough money to buy a melon sword anyway. People just need to realize that there is a hierarchy to farming Wheat Farming --> Pumpkin Farming(with pumpkin axe) --> Melon Farming (with melon sword) Pumpkin prices are perfectly fine where they are. You just gotta appreciate it, like all the residents and builders.
Lol this isn't getting a price increase. It already makes 10-15k per hour and if it was bumped any higher it would make more than melons, which then people wouldn't buy melon swords. Also I'm pretty sure Andrew doesn't care about the lower class people when he makes his prices, he bases it on the top farmers and what they can make per hour.
If this was to go up and the income went up to 18-20k per hour that would make a Melon sword pointless. Not happening..
I make sooo little farming pumpkins that i just dont bother anymore- the only way i still make money is cuz i a mayor i have plots to sell and i have donations i can use.... An increase to $0.75 or $0.80 would be great and make it more worth it for the little people while not making it incredibly OP for the max people with max stuff.
Yea I think .75 to .80 would be good. To the people that say the server is fine the way it is: You probably have a crap-ton of money and materials from when the prices were hire (e.g. at one point pumpkins were $4). I feel like it would give people who don't want to buy or rent a melon a better option. That's just my opinion though.
No, I don't have a ton of money, and no, I never played when pumpkins were 2 dollars+ I still don't think they should be raised.
Sorry for generalizing but that is the case for a lot of the older players. Remember when the price of wheat went up to $1.25 from $1? I was on the night that the server announced the price was being raised and from what i've seen that hasn't recked the economy. All Im saying is that it wouldn't hurt the economy very much. Just my opinion. I'm just not really happy with the fact that melons dominate the economy and you need a 300k+ sword in order to farm them. I've watched a lot of people loose they're swords to scamming, the butcher or someone just plane breaking them. Either the price of pumpkins go up or the price of melon swords should go down.
-1 To much money would go into the economy.. But if Andrew some how made pumpkin axes rare to get then maybe... But considering how there are like 12312981273 pumpkin axes are in the game right now, nah
