I do not think this is a good idea.
First, Pumpkins are already valued at the level at which it is optimal. This change would effectively remove a decent income stream for lower end players, Making it so that the only people with a decent income are the ones already with an income. Lets examine the effects of this change:
1: Severe Reduction of income to ANYONE without a melon sword
Impact: More people begging/scamming melon swords, Less disposable income for everyone WITHOUT a melon sword.
2: Severe Reduction in demand for Exp
Impact: less income from spawners, less income for spawnshop owners
3:To compensate, pumpkins would need to be raised in price to offset the lowered amount of people with a decent income
Impact:WAAAY too complicated, good luck convincing andrew to change prices that dramatically
4:Lowered demand for large farms
Impact: no need for fly donation, because all the people with pumpkin axes can harvest from one farm, farmbuilder's income reduces.

All in all this idea is a terrible idea for ECC. I do not think that policy decisions regarding farm tool pricing should be reduced to the tit-for-tat that this suggestion entails. I own a melon sword, and i use it very much. However, i do not think we should suggest a widespread (what i see as a punishment) to ECC as a whole. I see the larger impacts.

I am going to have to respectfully -1 this suggestion

 

*Hoards pumpkin axes*

 

Solstice there are other means of income for nonwealthy players. There are many other farming options. The server is called a hard core economy server, not an easy economy server. I also do not see a huge impact on Exp. Limiting the making of one item will not destroy the Exp market. The idea is to make pumpkin axes worth the same as melon swords, since they cost the same amount at the nether star store. This change would go along perfectly with the recent price drop on melons. The two items are capable of making the same about of money in the same time period and therefore should be similarly priced. No crops should change price at all and there should not be any increase in begging and such, people will always beg unless andrew starts throwing money at builders. On a final note, this may also bring back the fishing and mining sectors as new builders look for a way to make money.

+1 since I did give emongolab the idea and he just wrote the suggestion

 

I have 20+ Pumpkin axes.. I'LL BECOME RICH!!!

 

+1 from me!!! GGRRREEEATT suggestion!

 

There are already hundreds of "pumpkin axes" in circulation, what do you think will happen when you drastically increase their worth?

 

After looking at what like had to say, I mist agree. Players will just boost up the prices of axes and become rich off of it.

 

With so many in circulation already the price wouldnt rise drastically immediately, it would gradually increase as they become harder to find theoretically, they are still common

 

Umm, eff5 is actually a possible (though rare) enchantment, sooo...

Plus anvil combining 2 books off eff4 makes eff5 book. Not impossible!!

 

What is being suggested is that the effort. 5 book or the second effort.4 book isn't able to be added to the axe. Just like how eff.4 /off 5 books aren't able to be put onto a sword (making a melon sword a immposable item to make.

 

oh too much xp cost... now i understand.

Also efficiency, not effort.

 

just gotta love your sig lol.

 

+1 for sure
