Farming for Resources

So let me get this straight...


Nobody has ever told me about cactus farms being illegal, and it is not in the rules about iron golem farms being illegal. However what confuses me is the iron golem farms. I know cacti farms are not illegal, but what I want to know is will I get banned if I make a golem farm (villager based of course)?

Is the removal because people are make a HELL of a lot of money from melon/pumpkin auto farms? If so, why don't you just lower the sell price AGAIN.

"We dont like the idea of players getting rich off of afking."
Autospawning and autokilling = allowing users to afk and gain iron, come back and click a button.

2.
"This has been addressed. Building an automatic farm provides too much income. It breaks the concept of survival."

3.
To people saying "those who created the iron farms had to spend immense time" etc.

"Sure you have to build the farm, but to actually get money out of it, all you have to do is afk for hours."

4.
"If people want to turn into enemies because we are trying to balance out the economy let them."

I don't see how keeping Iron Farms are "balancing out the economy"

5.
"Cacti selling is being taken away too, so I wouldn't waste money there."


Since the general decision of the higher community want to keep Iron Farming and ban all other sorts of farming to maintain their monopoly, this will be my last post regarding this subject.  But just going through the reasons why Melon farming was banned, most reasons are applicable to Iron Farming.

That's all.

I am not saying I don't enjoying playing on the server.  I have secured my own land after mining for a while, it's a concern over "balance" as mentioned by ALL the mods during the Melon incident which I was not even here for.

Chief149:
Well the thing is I'm not one of those players that want to buy everything I need for survival. My one and only reason for farming cacti in my case would be to raise the money I need to buy diamond protection stones to cover my island, and the whole area still needs 3 or 4 more of them, and I only currently have the money for 1 :((

ViperZeroOne:
I've taken a look at D00M's iron golem farm and it is a legit farm.  I don't even know if it creates golem's at the rate that D00M stated, since we were there for about a half an hour and I didn't see a single one appear.

Melons, on the other hand, were insane.  In an hour you could make MILLIONS.  This kind of Iron farming is actually a lot slower than going to get the iron yourself.  The only way it would ever be "useful" is if all the iron on the server was completely mined out, which isn't going to happen any time soon because even the guest world still has a ton of resources in it.

I've also verified with 2 Ops and 3 Mods that THIS kind of golem farm is being classified as a "legal" farm to have (for now) due to it's very slow production rate.

In addition, I've been made aware that players ARE selling villagers, so if you want to build your own farm go right ahead.

You are only partly correct.  The biggest concern with the automated farms (that have been banned) are the heavy processing being generated by the massive redstone circuits.  The economy was a distant second.  These golem farms will use much less resources, and as stated, provide much less financial income.  That's why, for the time being, they're being classified as "legal".

himajinizm:
D00M seems to be the only one that is selling Villagers.  Everyone else hasn't said a word out it.
Also, D00M and several others were lagging out cause of the NPCs, so it IS the same as Melons because it's a generator that you can't control.

Why not limit the sizes of melon farms and reinclude them? People are remaking them anyways.
