Ok, lets look at melons and pumpkins. They got out of hand. They were removed from the market...
Cacti... removed from market slightly before it got out of hand, but it was expected to get out of hand. Removed.
Hmm... What is the next farmable thing to move to... Sugarcane? Nah. Too cheap in the market. Only remaining thing is iron and gold. History showed that the farming of the other things were getting out of hand. Twice. So why were gold and iron ingots left in the marketplace when it was obvious that they'd be the next big farmed thing? We weren't setting ourselves up for this. The admins did. They waited until we put tons of effort into these farms, and now the items are being taken out of the market. This wouldn't be a big deal if iron and gold ingots were removed from the very start when it's obvious that people would move to farming them. And of course, this decisions so thinks of the player, right? Nah. More like the staff just doing what they want.

This is the biggest piece of psychological BS that I have ever seen.

Cute, but he really didn't. We (aka staff/"the problem") litteraly watched as dozens of you built ridiculous, ugly, fun-ruining, golem-murdering farms to make money. Which basically made the whole point of the market go to complete shit. Idk the exact numbers but you know youd make hundreds upon thousands of dollars a day by making the iron farm just to brag about how your high you are on baltop. Which isnt the point of the game in the slightest bit.

I'm glad there are people who understand the point of Minecraft (:

Does anyone on opticraft use an iron farm but then spend the money they make from it on blocks to build cool stuff? Because if you do, you have your condolences. This is the last thing you needed. For everyone else, you had your fun, now get to building.

That's what I need to know; if they actually use the money to build instead of to brag or as status

The murder is the worst part.
Think of the families in tears because their sons/daughters/fathers/mothers/etc have been killed.
Shame on you all.

I would like to put in my two cents.
This topic has seen much, pointless bickering.
Sure, it's alright to say what you have to say, and go ahead. But getting in arguments is a giant waste of time. Just calm down. Unless you provide a 110% valid reason to get Nick to change his mind, there is no point trying. Just calm down, and accept the fact that there will be no more hours on end of constant AFK'ing to get rich enough to basically make yourself have creative mode with the market.
Coming from a players, not staff, perspective, I find this bittersweet. I was 95% done with making an iron and gold farm, and I blew all of my cash to do this. All I would have done with the money was buy items to build new community projects. I never would have AFK'ed, I would have logged off whenever I left my computer.
The good thing is, all of the players who would stand still 24/7, and even use modifications to keep their player ingame as they went to work/school or slept will now be in disarray, and they will not handle their money well, and they will lose themselves from the /baltop. This will become an inch closer to a normal survival server, and I like that.

Even if we did present a valid reason, Nick wouldn't care. He's the server dictator pretty much.
