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 :D)

 

Have fun with your town full of holes and broken houses

 

yeah call it grief city. its a good idea but it will get abused

 

Not all builders are ones who grief, just the majority of them are, pick the residents wisly.

 

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.

 

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.

 

forgot to mention it was a farm in the wilds :) but still ...

 

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?

 

^ Exactly.

 

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

 

CoobaDiver, if you decide to do the builder only town, I recommend not doing it as your first town.
