What's the point of melons going down when people can just buy money?

That sounds like a good reason to lower melon prices to me.

I'll explain again, you break 3 melons, you have about 9 slices to make 1 melon block. You break a pumpkin u get 1 pumpkin, no crafting. 64 melons are $480, to get that you had to break about 192 melons. In that same time if you broke 192 pumpkins, you would have $960 yes pumpkins are worth less but take less to make, and grow at the same rate as melons with no waste. so pumpkins are the way to go, thats why I've never bothered with melons. they take way too long to make the money from

yup lol

Honestly, I think player trade should be implemented in a more orderly fashion. they way that It would work is that you raise the prices of everything in the market by about 15% (Or more) and have a large area where people can 'buy' a shop. and these shops will contain chests and a sign above them just like the ones at the /warp market. But instead it gives the buyer X amount of items from the chest, for X price. and it's really easy to make.

It will require OP's to set the protection for the area. or you can simply place 11x11 protection stones for each 'shop' and allow the shop owner into the field. The prices of these shops would be significantly high since they are at the /warp market. they would cost as much as a diamond protection stone let's say. and each player is allowed to own one shop.

I understand that it could take massive amounts of space, but I'll leave that to my superiors to decide if they want to pass it or not.

Further on, the plugin could simply be made available to the Members + so they can use this at their own shops at their own /home. This would mean safer, faster & secure transactions when selling items. You cannot be cheated through this method, and the staff wouldn't have to deal with people complaining that they have not recieved promised items or money for whatever the two parties agreed on.

Why dont we all keep in mind that melons arm't strictly for profit. They are for food.

Well, they can be both. It's kinda like saying that we should grow trees and keep in mind that they are for planks, not for selling. And anyways, if there is a way to make money quickly, then we will follow that. We want to be able to buy whatever we want, therefore we like this method.

Yeah, I can see where you go with that, I make my money off of mining so thats why I say that

bigbeno37 · April 24, 2012, 02:35:27 PM

Well, consider people (such as me) who can go for days mining and only find a handful of items. They would prefer a different option. Why do something when you don't like it and you don't want to do it when there is an easier solution?

So you won't pay for melons, you'll harvest them.
