The melon buyer in Storm's Landing has decreased his prices on melons and haybales.
The inflation from these items was getting way out of hand, and so the decision to change the price was made.
Bartooliinii The Melon Mafia has been nerfed
In all seriousness, the joke about the Melon Mafia came about because Retro_Hagrid told Bart he could make quite a bit of money through melons before showing us this absurd melon farm underground. For the next thirty OOC minutes, me and Bart we talking on a discord call (which I do not do often, I am not a very talkative person and it is rare for me to join any form of voice chat) whilst harvesting melons. It began to get dull quick, so I invented the
Mafia_Man voice saying "ae've been workin' thirty years fer the Melon Mafia! An' I dun earn nuthin!"
Because, quite literally, after half an hour of harvesting melons, we got about 4k for it. It may not seem like a lot to me, though I understand the inflation if somebody did it constantly
Even so, to put that much work into harvesting melons? Props to them for having the patience!
This is the origins of the Melon Mafia joke
