The Resident title is basically something to say "I'm new, but I'm not a noob." As well as the fancy perks, it's a thing of prestige. Banks will loan to Residents, but not to Builders. Builders tend to illegally grief, residents do not.

 

As opposed to legally griefing, which you learn to do later... Right?

 

Hmm, now I'm all confused as to how builders grief...

 

Builders always scam and r never trusted so if u r not a builders r most likely not a noob

 

Don't hate on the builders! We were all builders at one point, even you were! From a resident to a GA, we ALL began as a builder. Basically, you are saying that residents and up, including you, were noobs until that very moment they turned res. Does that sound right?

 

Sorry let me make it more clear most builders rnoobs I didn't beg when I was a builder I was a good builder i farmed and made 15k and got res the begging builders r noobs

 

Yes, builders who beg for money can be annoying but, I have seen higher ranks beg as well. I am just saying that no one should make any assumptions on ANY rank.

 

Yea but its mostly builders who beg though

 

Resident is more of a social thing, people listen to Residents more than Builders.

 

I look it as:

Builder - Anyone who is brand new to the server. Someone who is either just testing/looking around, isn't really part of the community because they have made no commitment. Someone who is new to minecraft or the server and will need some help as they may not even know the basic things everyone else is taking for granted.

Resident - Someone who has been here long enough to make the commitment and give up some of their hard earned ECC dollars to say "I plan on being here awhile." Someone who has been to the website, read the server rules, and still has decided to stay. They may not know the 'in/outs' of who's who and what's what, but they have put forward a first step to be part of the group.

This is really the guideline I follow. I tend to try to help builders to show how friendly our server can be and nudge them into wanting to join instead of 'looking around'. I do not hold anything against a builder that isn't malicious because they simply may not know better. This may be their first time on ECC. I tend to help residents because they have shown that they have a vested interest in staying and help growing the community. I hold them a little more accountable for their actions since they have supposedly 'read the rules'.

These aren't exact descriptions, but I hope I have conveyed how I view the players with those ranks. If a builder gets offended becuase I treat him/her as a newbie, then they have to understand that without that $15k investment, I really have to question their commitment to the community.

Adieu.
