Minecraft Username: HN1202 Reason: Creating a mob spawner to gain an advantage in leveling. Counter-Reason: He is currently selling 100 levels of exp for 20,000$. I think this is quite unfair for someone to break the rules, then profit majorly off of it. Instead of him being punished/jail time, I believe he should just admit to where it is, and have andrew remove it. Evidence: After asking to see if he had a mob spawner, after hearing rumors: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7267 I heard we get a reward for this kind of stuf... :roll:
I think only automated mob traps are banned. Having a room full of spawners isn't a mob trap, just... a room full of spawners.
Well the rules state Mob Traps. (We do not allow mob traps on this server. If you see one, please report it, and it will be taken down) Since mob trap is a general term, then I dont know what to say about this In my opinion, having a spawning room where you physicaly kill them all isnt that bad, its just like night time outside But having something that automatically kills everything should be disallowed I think the mob trap rule needs clarification.
HN doesn't actually say that they lead all to one point or anything like that, just that he got them all together, which would happen naturally if he just found a room with spawners in it. But forcing them into one point YOURSELF is an offence (I think).
Though i have not been on the server long, i have had an experience that might help this issue. I know the location of several spawners, and one location happened to be 3 spawners all within 15 cells, i was making waterways to bring all the spawning monsters to one area and drop them from a height to lower their health. However i miscalculated and ended up killing half the spawns automatically. The mob trap, and spawners were destroyed. However the other spawner i use, which also drops mobs to lower their health, has not been destroyed. This leads me to believe that you can do whatever you want with monsters, provided that they die by your hand, and not automatically. Drowning, Fire, and Falling are all not acceptable, however bringing them to the same place, and killing them yourself is fine. However that is only my own conclusions, and would have to be clarified by Andrew himself.
