The Rich Get Richer and The Poor Get Poorer

I don't think this is true honestly. I'll use delvin as an example. Before he became a mod, he was a member. Heck, he was richer than every single donor and mod/admin on the server. He made a name for himself. Not to mention, you see people sticking up for others. Lemme link the thread when i find it

EDIT: Here is a fine example of donors sticking up for members. Or in this case, more well known members https://aemservers.net/threads/want-free-vip.2481/

 

Donators are upper class ya noob

 

Also, you have to realize that you sometimes make your own reputation. You don't instantly get "Hey <3", donor or not. You make friends and GET well known into the community, not buy into it. Even mods make their reputation, they can't just be a mod overnight.

 

Evanyoshi I consider you being WAY WAY WAY more popular and special than all of the staff members u just made a click to everybody that nobody else can do your definetly the highest popularity there is on aem

 

are you taking the piss? 90% of people that I know highly dislike him.. Well that's factions anyway

 

Well my point of view, and even if you're rich that doesn't actually make you famous, if you get cocky about it, you'll gain more haters than people who actually like you for who you are. I've seen a lot of players who aren't donors and they're really popular among other players in the server. It's the way you see things and your perspectives towards them.
And @Tree_Killer_ , I've been seeing why some players hate him, it's because he was trying to tell players rules and they actually flame him because he isn't staff and stuff so he should just mind his own business and stuff. And he gets angry and starts $%#$%^%$&*^&* , but other than that I think he actually ain't that bad of a player. Not everyone is perfect c: They have their flaws. And no matter how good you are, there are always haters as well.

 

Yes i agree, Anything is possible depending on the person himself. If you were born poor, you work hard and you get better, pick yourself up. Your friends can help you 60%, family 90% but it's only you who can help yourself 100%. Humans Fall, we learn from it and get improve. We don't sit around whining about how life sucks, how we can't get what we want. If you're rich, you stay humble. Cockiness and being proud would cause them their downfall. The richest can become the poorest vice-versa. Life will never be smooth sailing, the world doesn't revolve around a single person nor will it stop for someone.
In game, if you keep dying, you learn from it, gain skills and experience and you wouldn't remain in that pit hole. They move forward.

Donors or not, everyone starts from the bottom and build up a reputation for themselves. I've seen non-donors being more liked than some donors and staff. Some staffs hated more than donors/non. It depends on the player and how the see one another.
Yes I do agree you'll most likely see players go "Omg hello<3" to staff but if they weren't staff, that would most likely not be seen unless you're well liked. I remember how I was trusted, i worked my way out, communicate with everyone be it donor or not. I then gained reputation and worked my way up, donated and started helping out more and eventually got recognized and non donors/donors started rooting for me to apply for staff. That was my starting point. Even after being demoted once, I never gave up, I had supports of players and made it this far.

You work to achieve. You don't look forward to a reward, be humble.

I think everyone deserve equal love but then again it is up to the person and who they like best. There are non-staff who worked harder within their capabilities who also deserve the amount of "love" said.

Everything depends on the person who sees things. Everyone is indeed equal, but to who? It's the mindset and determination and the way you project yourself.
You can't expect everyone to like you. The world doesn't work that way. You may not be my cup of tea or I may not be yours but that is how the world works. We can't please everyone. If you cloud your mind thinking whatever you say is right or how they do not understand, think about it. What if you're the one who doesn't understand. Open up your horizon and look not from 2 points of view but 3. Don't stay at one corner wishing wanting, take a step forward, even if it's a baby-step, go up. Move on. We get discouraged, disagreements, dragged down but don't stop. Equality and humanity, how sure can we be that everyone views the same? Do not get me wrong, I do agree with some points.

 

Let me just put my view on this subject simply instead of others making books *cough* zRinne *cough* xD

Staff are there for questions so people messaging staff is common. As for everyone else, it does not matter if you are a donor or not. I know a lot of people I have been friends with before I became a donor on any server. I can tell you something though. Just because I am a donor, I did not become more recognized by people. I have been friends and try to be friends with everyone I have met on AEM and will meet on AEM. Nobody is more "popular" than anyone else. I would love to be the person that everyone looks to for help or items. For example, I would love to make a huge gold farm to give everyone free/cheap gold. But one thing you must understand about this. The obsidian I mined for it, I MINED IT. The tons and tons and tons of lava I will need, I WILL GRAB IT. Everything I need, I will EARN. It won't all be handed to me. I am not going to be given creative for it. This is the same with everyone else. People donate not for popularity generally but they do it for the perks like fly and /auc. Just because you are a donator or a staff member, this does not mean that you are more popular and more noticed than everyone else. It simply means that you type in colorful letters and have more perks than members. And you want to connect it to real life? Okay, lets connect it to real life. Who here likes to go up to the nerdiest kid in your school and say hi? <----- rhetorical question. I do not know many people that would just go up to someone you generally don't talk to and say something. EVERYONE STICKS TO THEIR FRIEND GROUPS. THAT'S THE WAY THAT LIFE WORKS. If you are friends with a staff member or a donator, great for you! If you are the person that sits on their skyblock island and doesn't socialize or anything, people generally won't notice you. lol. Look at this. I said I wouldn't be writing a book and yet here it is. So, here I will wrap this post up. Just because you are staff or a donor, you are not more popular. You are just in your friend group. The only place I can think of that you would be noticed more is in the /list command in which your name will be colorful.

 

Well I didn't read any of that it was to long lol

 

Good thing i'm on the lower class!

 

Well I guess in short, If you start poor or rich, you work hard to reach your goal. Everyone starts off as a nobody and through foundation, climb their way out despite the hardships and times they fall. Gist is to never give up, rank does not define who you are. It's what makes the person.
We can't please everyone and there's nothing we can do about it. Life is cruel and yet it isn't.
Things appear difficult because our mind complicates it.

 

._.

Once again, mods gain rep, not insta rep. There's a MAJOR difference. Your missing my point.

 

Sometimes they do gain "Insta rep" as to me which is the "Kiss-Up factor"

 

Its not like the staff aren't respected before they get the staff job! They are chosen partly because they are a big part of the community and are largely respected.

 

well you have to do something before yo become mod right? ._.

 

What?! xD That makes no sense... Tell me a staff member that no one new and was chosen after no one liking him/her?
