I no longer play on ECC and I have been banned. I am a $60 donator and I regret donating to the server.
Why am I like this you wonder?
That's because the server relies heavily on raising lots and lots of money which takes a lot of time to attain. All the mods and very dedicated players always have a craptone of money while the relatively new people don't. This is understandable, but this created a system where the poor stay poor (unless they perform a miracle) and the rich get richer.
Then there's the whole thing about, "What the hell am I gonna do with my money?" Okay, let's go buy exp and get super enchanted armour and weapons. *Die* So much for all that money I spent weeks to get just to get that set of super enchanted stuff. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO!! The server is super boring. You need to add more features which make it more interesting. I got so bored one day, I just decided to get myself banned for fun. Started a huge ruckus about a silly advertising matter got me banned, and that was the most fun thing that has ever happened on this server to me.
Andrewjm I hope you take this into account so that EVERYONE will be satisfied and have fun.

I'm not gonna bother doing ban appeal.
There are tons of other servers out there that are way more fun.

 

whoever runs the server, make it more fun and interesting for everyone else's sake

 

Aight

 

ECC needs a better well rounded economy where everyone has equal opportunities to strike it rich. Perhaps hide treasure chests in the mining world? Have lotteries that are more affordable to the poorer players. Perhaps find a way where the rich cannot monopolize the economy and prices of items, blocks, exp, etc.

 

I'll think about ban appeal. I did do one good deed before i left tho. I held a competition in chat, whoever could guess the item or block i was thinking of wins $25000. I believe a builder won so he was right on track to success. But anyways during the times I was playing was during the inflation so times were tough. If I join again I'll start fresh again like everyone else (except for my donation features). By what I'm hearing the server seems to be a lot better tho, I guess i underestimated ECC, my apologies.

 

I apologize, I was being ignorant before.

 

I think one of the main reasons why I “rage quit" was because I couldn't get enough money to become a mayor. I always wanted to have a town and stuff, but I was never able to achieve it through the 2 years of playing. It's been around a year and a half since I was banned, and I do kind of miss Minecraft servers with relatively friendly communities. Anyways, to conclude this I am going to file a ban appeal
