Please nerf iron farms

  1. Also, as for the part about the price of them dropping, that's just part of the game.
    I imagine that the price of Cocoa Beans was a lot higher before they added the ability to farm them.

  2. Problem: what about those people that took days to build iron farms in the wild and might have used all their resources as an investment. Banning iron farms by changing the way their farm works would be unfair to them.
  3. GOLD FARMS?! :D how?

  4. Youtube it since there is few designs for it :)

    It's not efficient tho, I would rather make a "enderfarm" design in the nether for full efficiency :)

    That would give more stuff aswell :D
  5. That's true but it happens a lot...
    Entity limiter - I spent over 200k on 4006 for that sheep farm, then it came along just as I was finishing up. Actually, you had a sheep farm too :p
    XP grinders - a lot of people (including myself) invested time and rupees into grinders before they were nerked also (both on MC and EMC)

    It's a shame that I couldn't suggest compensation for those that did make them, it wouldn't work at all lol
  6. Then that's what we need to wait for. Mojang needs to ban them before they will disappear on EMC.
  7. Mojang needs to hurry up and do that then haha, because I'm serious when I say that iron's gonna be literally worthless soon.
  8. Sorry...we won't be banning iron farms unless they some how become a glitch that's against what mojang wants.
  9. That's a bummer. What about forcing players to be there to kill the golem when it spawns? Would that be a possibility?
  10. The entity limiter was an all around server thing though that was NEEDED for performance. It didn't just affect one set group of people...it was attached to the wild and town, both animals and monsters, even in grinders.

    What you're requesting isn't anything that is harmfully affecting the server, but just your individual play style. Think of it like this. What you're asking is like someone else asking: "Hey, giant malls like alexchance have ruins my chances to make more money, please ban big malls."
  11. Hey, giant malls like alexchance have ruins my chances to make more money, please ban big malls.
  12. Alex, you didnt seem to mind buying a cheap DC of iron from me yesterday :rolleyes:
  13. Eh, I dunno. I'm not really against iron farms, what I am against though is the AFK-ing and the fact that the price is going down and down.

    I think that the reason why Mojang isn't doing much about it is because multiplayer suvival servers with economies aren't their priority when it comes to making the playing experience tailored to their need. Whereas, SP (which is where the main, main focus is at) and basic vanilla servers are their main priority. You're not gonna hurt anything by using farms in those MC experiences.

    I would just hate to see the value of an iron ingot at 2-3r/1

    Of course not :) I was willing to buy them at any price haha, I needed them for building. But that's not the point anyway

  14. Lets just admit it, we've gone economy.

  15. Nah, we are survival but we're economy in the sense that... it's currently our biggest basis in town.
  16. Nope, i'm here for survival. I don't really care for the economy, to me its just an easy way to get things through rupees. Iron Golem farms are part of survival and will stay that way.

  17. Iron farms obviously make iron a much more common item, but I notice that Mojang have introduced new rare items such as beacons, so I suppose that's supposed to balance out the effect a bit?

  18. Althought it makes sense, I don't really think that's the reason why they're allowing it :)

  19. Well it's definitely not a hard survival with stuff like live map and such...

  20. If we ban Iron farms, sooner or later we will ban Gold farms , EXP farms or even cobble , obsidian generators. Which will make EMC a bit more boring.. since in real Survival, you can just build whatever you'd like.

    Also, moderators use iron farms too and they wont feel to great about that like ISMOOCH.
