Counter proposal to the new anti-melon and anti-pumpkin ordinance

(1/4) > >>

caitslove:
So I'm sure I'm not alone in my displeasure of the new ordinance that will take affect one week from today because I, like many, have spent weeks upon months perfecting pumpkin farming techniques and recently expanded my automated farm with my partner Beugul.

However I guess I kind of understand (not actually...) your point about people making too much money off of it. I have a proposal that I think might benefit all parties involved. It was mentioned that the reason selling pumpkins and melons is being banned is because people are AFK'ing for hours and then hitting a button to make money. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that the cure for this is a 2-minute auto-boot from the server?

If it is a complete lost cause, however, I think new less-afk-capable options should be made available for money-making purposes. As a jumping point for this train of thought, I was thinking it might be a good idea to make meats (such as beef, pork, and chicken) sellable in the market because they take far more effort to raise in mass quantity. Another option is making wheat sellable (this is less lazy because it requires the player to replant the wheat).

Just thought I'd make a jumping point towards a solution to this mess because, as was mentioned in the news update, way too many people are going to be angry about this. If an upside can be presented, I think the backlash of people leaving the server could be prevented.

Just my two cents...

Nick made a topic for complaints against this action.

caitslove:
This is not meant as a complaint, it is meant as a suggestion, therefore I thought it more appropriate to place it on the Suggestions board.

cschurz:
2 minute auto boot does not solve the problem.

simply don't AFK - the amount of income from these farms is still exponentially greater than any other money making technique.

and please direct any further proposals here: http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,11202.msg102755/topicseen.html#new

This really isn't a complaint.. its a suggestion.
 I kinda agree with u, not on the 2 minute kick, but on making wheat sellable in the market.
