    Thread Title:
    To remove the speed cap to the default speed.

    Minecraft Name:
    Vintage_Gamer

    Suggestion:
    To increase/ remove the cap of the /speed command.

    Reason:
    Well I was on my buddies server where he had essentials and I done /speed 10 and it was just awesome.

    Other Information:
    /speed 10 on ECC is slow anyway, it should be faster.

    Link to this Plugin:
    The Essentials config.yml file.

    Whatever the cap is, I am pretty sure Andrew has a good reason for it. Going too fast will create major lag..especially if a bunch of people go that max speed.

    Im sure there is a good valid reason, but it is kinda slow, you gotta admit.

    I've seen people flying at current max speed... It's quite fast enough. It may seem slow because you said you flew even faster elsewhere... Human minds can easily get "tricked" into thinking something else is slower than it really is once they've experienced faster.

    .
    I understand what your getting at. And for the server im sure it is fast, but what im saying is to "increase" the cap slightly so fly donators get to go a little faster.

    Forgetting the lag, increasing the cap on /speed would have another undesired effect. The current cap has been measured and allows people to make a certain amount of money per hour by, for example, farming. Say we do decide to increase the speed, said farming prices would be lowered to keep the money per hour ratio where it was before. Though it would be cool to be going even faster than we already can, I'd have to say that the negatives of this severely outweigh the positive effects of this suggestion.

    I didn't actually think of the farming reasons before posting this. I understand what your getting at and maybe its not the "best idea" but i think a slight increase would be good.

    I have no issue with the fly cap as it is. In fact, I can barely control myself when I'm on /speed 10. Its already really fast lol.

    That being said, I also agree that it has severe farming implications. So for those reason I will have to say no.

    Ok, let's say we have 10 users, then all users do /fly 100 , imagine how much lag that would cause
