I already replied to this thread once with my wall of text which basically agrees with everything kuke has said, and PULLH20 nothing you have posted has shown how this negatively affects you or other players except for you being upset that they have a name that you claim makes ecoleader useless. The nametag doesn't even affect the gameplay whatsoever so it shouldn't even be falling under your IRL status affecting game play concept. Get over yourself.

 

This an extremely fun feature no doubt, but although it may not affect game play, it can in some ways. I can't imagine how difficult it may be for mods to figure out a users real name. For example, say someone with the nickname feature swore. Without the nickname on, mods can immediately read the IGN and react. Now, with the nickname on, the mods must go through a process to find the real name. This may not be a big deal, but if more and more people buy this feature, it will become frustrating. When I am talking in global it is hard to tell who may be talking to me when their nickname is on. None of this necessarily "affects" anyones game play negatively but it sure is confusing. Luckily this feature is $50, so we most likely won't get a large portion of buyers. Let me ask this though, what IF a lot of people began buying this feature. Just imagine all those nicknames and trouble EVERYONE would be having. This most likely will never happen but it can over a period of time. Although I absolutely love this feature, I can conclude that I would rather see someones actual name than have to constantly type in a command to reveal the player.

 

I agree with SparklyPotato2, nicknames are a fun way to express yourself, but it can be abused very easily. For example, if a player chose a bright color like neon, it would be very difficult to read in global. Also, if someone cusses, mods will have to go through an extra step to find the real player. I understand that some players have already spent $100 on the feature, however they can receive a credit towards something more practical, like the Investigator feature. There should be some sort of command that will toggle nicknames off (similar to the lottery command.) However, to appease Andrewkm :p and ensure that people can see the nicknames, they should automatically be visible the next time the player logs on to the server. To ensure that people do not constantly toggle nicknames off, a cooldown time of 5 minutes can be implemented.

 

This is true. While I still do not like the addition of buying mcmmo levels, I am not as firmly against it as I once was. Then, I figured it would destroy all progress I had made, and that people would buy past every level I've worked so hard for. However, even though some people have done this for archery and fishing, and maybe some other skills, those people get no credit for having a level 1000 in the eyes of the public. Not to mention I'll be maxing them out sometime "soon" (most likely a year or so for fishing v.v), and I will most likely be the first person to do without buying mcmmo levels.

In other words, I was against it firmly, not so much now as I know it did not affect mcmmo as much as it was thought. I don't like it, but I won't fight it either.


Also, in regards to this actual suggestion, it would be like adding a way to ignore shouts, meant for all users to see no matter what. People paid for this, so you get to see it. That's my opinion.

 

I do understand that their is no way to ignore the nicknames. Like kuke said, they bought it, so they should be able to use it to its full potential. This is true, but I believe while so many people, including some mods, dislike this feature, I think it would be best to remove it ASAP. It will be harder to remove the feature when more and more people purchase it, while now, their are a few.

 

I think nicknames should be removed. I have seen nicknames on other servers. They work for hg servers and mini game servers but not economy. Economy is user to user interaction and trading. If you are able to change your name it becomes more of a chat that's full of color and funny names then a economy server where to get a new color to your name you must work hard and make money.

 

Yes, you're right; as long as this feature is not bought often, it will not be a big deal I suppose, especially if people don't try to abuse it. I do have a bad feeling, however, that it could be used in some sort of spam attack that would be quite difficult to deal with.

 

Since the best option would be to just remove this future, I recommend Andrewkm remove it ASAP. Not many people have bought the future due to the price (I think only pbrassat17, ghostmaster, stolio, chompin_02, and a few others have actually bought the future. These people can receive 100 dollar credits towards buying another future. As far as people who bought the "all features" donation, they can automatically receive any additional features added until 100 is paid off. I do not think Andrew can cancel credit card payments, so doing a credit would be the best option.

 

I still hold the same opinion, as for the nickname as former staff it just looks like a nightmare to deal with.

 

just no sorry but nicknames are awesome

 

Nnnnnnnnnecro

 

Before it gets locked I have to lol at hilv's signature
First off the eff 7 pick he "gave away for free" wasn't even his
It was someone else's they stupidly left in an unlocked chest
So yeah
You don't get a gold medal for generosity for doing exactly what you should have done.
NOT stealing something isn't exactly something to be lauded for.
LOOK AT ME
I'M NOT STEALING SOMETHING RIGHT NOW

 

Im sorry but, I don't know hilv but, if I found a eff 7 pick it would be hard to resist keeping it. In the rules it states items found in a unlocked chest are now yours. Hilv was nice enough to give a item that is his back to whomever lost it. That is generous and I would trust Hilv in the future.

 

The fact that you start your statement with the words that you do, nullify your closing statement.

Ladies and gentlemen of the internet, I rest my k's

Alrighty. This was clearly necro'd and is currently turning into a bit of a bashing session. So, this will be locked.
