As someone who plays a lot of Survival Games, knowing that someone has an immediate advantage over every other player that doesn't want to spend real cash on your server is devastating. I enjoy playing on this server a lot, I've enjoyed participating in the community discussions, and the Economy mechanic is something I've came to enjoy using, but when the only way to make money in large chunks is SG (not counting the lottery because RNG), these kits ruin it all. I want them removed completely, but considering it makes you money, I might as well just go on and say that my only suggestion is to balance them in some way. Maybe something to do with RNG, maybe you could have a 25% chance to restore full health off of one food item. Or even just remove the enchants on the sword, something that simple could end a lot of players's frustration. Someone in chat brought up today, and I have personally experienced the feeling of dread and hate to know that someone who payed 15-30 dollars for a kit, follows you until the grace period is over, then goes on to brutally murder without you being allowed to open a single chest. The people who own these kits have a sort of unforgiving character attached to them that I cant stand. I love SG, I love this server, I hate these kits. I just want some community feedback from some non-biased people that can explain how these kits are balanced, or some shared agreement on how these kits are unbalanced. I hate the P2W mechanic. EDIT: used the wrong there, was meant to be they're.
This is never going to "end player frustration". In fact, it would most likely add more frustration considering the hundreds of players with kits. If you don't like the way sg is right now, find another way. Mining, farming, etc. Also, your poll is biased; I suggest changing it to a yes or no question.
This is never going to happen, too many players who have spent hundreds of dollars for these kits, and getting rid of, or severely nerfing then will not pan out well. Every time I see one these suggestions I laugh a little, because it's never going to happen due to so many donors having them. Sorry
I knew I would get a response like this at some point. I just don't understand your suggestion on finding another way to play. Why should I settle for a system that puts money over player loyalty? And you misread the end player frustration, for the players that don't want to spend that much money on something that is free for SO MANY OTHER SERVERS. To combat a future response to that statement is this, I don't want to play on other servers, I want to play on this one. So I reinforce that statement I had said in the beginning,
Fair enough, but no happening none the less. I find it funny that you say when after 3 weeks of playing on this server (didn't know they had a form until i first had enough money for resident), I have not seen the player limit exceed 90 players.
many users live in different places meaning different time zones. Plus, people have lives. They aren't always on minecraft. Lol.
You have two options: play the "kit" game and buy kits yourself or find a different method of earning money.
Fair enough, once again. But are you insinuating that I don't have a life? In my humble, and I mean humble, opinion the required a qualities of having a life are breathing, having a heart beat, and being able to excessive cognition regularly. I'm not always on Minecraft, for my summer so far I have plans, but what I do in my time is none of your concern or mockery. I'm not so sure why I was offended by that post, but I felt like some clarity was needed.
How did I offend you? I'm confused. I was trying prove a point about the server population. The server is going to become a hub soon, so you should see more users online when that happens.
This has been suggested at least twice in the past few months, and no, unfortunately , it will never happen. (Also, what will happen to all the real-life money that people invest to the server for kits only to find them gone without compensation?) [Edit:I know at least 200 people play in the ECC community from various places like the USA, Europe, Australia, and even China and Russia]
SG can't be fixed. IMO Kits were the biggest mistake ECC has made and now that there's hundreds of players who have them, we cant do anything about that.
I'd urge you to rethink your view on things. You seem to care more about yourself the ECC community as a whole. What's the whole point of playing on a server when you don't seem to care about the community? Your only argument seems to be "I paid for this, so I don't care" and you don't seem to think about the people actually negatively affected by things like that.
Alls we need is A few no kit arenas and the sg problem is solved its as simple as that i have no idea why this has not been done.
