I'm thinking about making a builders only town. Basic accomadations would be provided for newcomers (perhaps a dorm of some sort?). Builders would get jobs working to improve the town; they earn money while helping out others like them. Then when they have enough money they can go out into the world. Any thoughts on this? Its just the start of an idea. Let me know! Thanks!
Not a bad start. The only problem with having builders in town is a huge hike in griefing. One of my towns allows builders+, and I feel like every week or two I'm doing a ton of grief reports and removals. Still, its something that could be cool (and profitable )
Thats what im worried about... Im hoping that maybe if they are given jobs and housing and such that they will be able to afford things they want instead of steal them. And for the *insert bad word of your choice here* who choose to grief well i cant really stop them
If the problem of 'greifing' was not the case then it would be a great way to get new people interested in the server! As also a great way for them to earn money and a sort of kickstart way to get them to earn ranks.
Believe me i understand the whole griefing thing. I just wanted to do something to help out these poor builders. Guess not
It's not so much that they steal, some are just children less than 10 who have no understanding of things. Others just server hop to screw things up for fun.
just today a guy (named Iwillpwn) greifed my farm while i was on it o0. I told him he could farm all he wanted but instead he just took the torches that are for the pumpkins to grow. He didnt even answer in my chat, i couldnt do anything to stop him (that is legal) edit: it was in the wild so nothing else can be done about it but it still isnt nice
Welcome to the world of "people do in game what they wish they could in real life." they Hurt and destroy because their base animal instincts tell them to destroy those who are stronger.
Why does no one trust builders? I use to be one and i am very trustworthy so why does no one else think they are?
Because they grief and steal and stuff. Which is unfortunate because the ones who are trustworthy get screwed over as well
I agree but I don't. Not all griefers are builders, some are residents. Although probably 80% of the griefers are builders.
Residents are Builders that turned out to be the non-griefers. Once they pass the first hurdle (hide, farm / mine, profit, apply), then they can be trusted. First thing I did upon approval of my Residency was look for a town so I could stop getting griefed. My underground Builder Farm was griefed everytime I logged in, so I had to replant everytime. Patience and a willingness to put up with griefers for a short time (4 days I think?) allowed me to make enough for Resident. I think a Builder town is a great idea...but how do you weed out the griefers? Easy: let Builders in a town once they become Residents. *shrugs* If they can't deal with frustration for 15k, they should find another server And by the way, I've seen some NON-Builders that just LOVE to mess stuff up...as long as they can do it quasi-legally. Becoming Resident+ means you've learned (enough) to not get banned...that doesn't mean it's changed your desires
^ very true my builder base got griefed many times and ever time something gets destroyed in the town I run, the grief report shows that it was builders. Now I got 190k so idk
