    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    VMR Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Legalize Hacking in VMR Again
    What are you suggesting:
    We allowed hacked clients on VMR again. (If there are any specific clients that cause TPS issues, then ban those specific ones but not all of them.)
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    VMR sorta died after we made hacking illegal. A good chunk of people such as @killrdarknes who were big on VMR have completely abandoned it. The only times anyone seems to go there now is to do /kit rare or the few who don't realize how horrible it is and abandon it shortly afterwards. Hacked clients made VMR a fun and unique place to play on ECC. I propose we allow their return so VMR can be bearable again.
    Other information:
    N/A
    Plugin or custom addition:
    N/A
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    "legalize hacking in vmr" only gives people excuses for hacked clients being on.

    If you can't play vanilla Minecraft without hacking then you're probably doing it wrong

    Okay but.... we'll just ban them like any other hacker? And, I'm not an SA so I guess I wouldn't really know, but were hackers from VMR flooding into Main to hack...?

    I feel like hacking is going to be an issue no matter what, but 'people will hack on Main!!!' is a bad argument because people already hack on Main. The rules are rather clear, anyway.

    These prestiges have become a LOT harder to obtain now, mainly because it's going to take longer to get set up every week, so you're gonna make notably less progress each week. I honestly don't think it's the worst thing to have hacking banned, but the reason(s) behind it were stupid in my honest opinion.

    I don't see a valid reason to NOT have hacking on VMR, when allowing autofishers/x-raying makes scaling quickly a lot easier and actually gets people to play the gamemode, because it's not as difficult to get started/place. Why were these prestiges randomly made harder (i guess indirectly) anyway?

    Don't get me wrong, the prestiges are still sorta reasonable to obtain (def harder than Skyblock, but whatever). However, why make them harder for no discernable reason? Was hacker leaking really an issue???

    TL;DR Hacking shouldn't have been removed in the first place, really wasn't an issue.

    +1 VMR is a grind as it was..

    prior obtainers of VMR prestige had less items, and hacked clients to use.... now we have over 800 (and growing) and we are at more of a disadvantage. I understand things change, but losing the hacked clients make a gamemode that is already difficult, make it even more difficult/unbearable.

    putting a weekly grind into something for a minimum of 10 weeks (and earning a maximum of 1mil

    ^since when have excuses ever been listened to anyways? its been said before even if a staff member tells you something is OK, if its against the rules its your responsibility.

    Being able to use things in vmr that we can't use on main was part of the fun. I'd like the reset to be done every two weeks instead of weekly as well. Would give people more time to get set up. The theme hasn't been changing weekly anyway even when good ideas are posted. Just my 2 cents.

    Hacking clients will never be allowed on ECC.
    The reasons will remain private and internal.
