Suggestion: Changing Melons back to $2 and Pumpkins back to $1

Reason: Well, staff has been saying all kinds of ways to making money, but its getting harder and harder every time.
I know this has been suggested a lot of times but I will keep suggesting it.
Now, I want to tell you Staff, this is a Hardcore economy server! Not a "Your making to money with this, this is unrealistic so were nerfing it" No! Like life, things have more value in certain times of the year, Im not suggesting you should change these prices completely and forever, just come up with different prices sometimes, maybe the next month pumpkins are $2 for a week or 2? and the following month the prices just go completely down and pumpkins and melons are $0.50, this is real life economy, prices change! And it´s not even that, I mean, lets see our other options here on making money.
PvP
Well, PvP involves no skill at all in ecc to determine weather me or you is going to win this fight, it just involves Mcmmo skill and Money, richness, good gear, in order to achieve that good gear you need to make money and farming is one of them, so Nerfing pumpkins and melons also affect how good you are on pvp and how much you make, and sincerely I do have full prot 4 and Sharp 4 fire 2 sword, but, I can´t even pvp, while im getting 5 hearts a damage im taking 1 from my opponent, so ye, ill train, but how will I if I have no money to buy the stuff to train with? Which is also quite expensive, this is also a reason why pumpkins and melons should be raised and lowered different times.
Mining
Also extremely affected, if you have the right amount of money or not, Personally me, I make around 1k mining a hour with no breaks, since my mcmmo is so low and since I don´t have a good pick, because I can´t farm and make money in order to have a good pick. True, some people do make a lot of money mining, but it just isn´t my case and of many others, not only that mining is extremely boring to do, and that, yes, should be something nerfed!
Towns/Plots
As for making towns and selling plots is also a extremely good way of making money, and easy, I agree. But, I never took any part of that action, why? because I am a horrible builder, and I know im not the only one out there, and if any of the staff wishes to see my town or give me some help, I would be honored to accept your help.
Xp Selling/Enchanting

In my opinion, xp is still a good way and source of making a lot of money, even after 1.3 came out and xp prices went down like crazy. I use a blaze spawner and in 10min I get around 30 levels of exp, which I then Sell for 2k only, which is a cheap price relating to others, therefore I have more buyers and make around 12k an hour, which is pretty good and well planed if I am lucky enough to get the buyers I wish.
When it comes to enchanting, it just doesn´t make profit, with the amount of diamonds you waste on tools and armour and with all the trys and xp wasted in order to obtain a good enchant it is not worth your time and money.
Farming
Nerfed, in every possible way. When pumpkins were good they got nerfed, then wheat, then Cane, now melons, farming is going down and down every single day.
It is impossible to make good quantities of money now days, but I think we shouldn´t be able to make large amounts of money every single day, but sometimes, in order to alternate economy we should be able to farm and make a good amount of money like we did in 1.2.5
Any Other Information:
That is all, I hope you enjoyed reading and I would like to ask that only Staff post in this topic unless you are wishing to support it or giving feedback.
Any questions or problems the staff/owner encounters please post below and I will try my best to answer and try to find a solution.

 

Thanks both of you. =)

 

Aren´t we simulating real life economy here? Yes, we are.
And you are correct, but maybe price variation wouldn´t hurt anyone.
Also Im quite certain I never spoke about changing pumpkins to $2 But melons.
And please, also tell me how you make 20k an hour.
