This thread was neglected for a while however I'll give you the satisfaction of a response; straight from management, i'll respond point by point.
"Actually interesting people" "OGs"
Reason why this is irrelevant is I literally don't care, I get exactly why they leave; and why a vast majority of them come back 2 weeks (maximum) later.
Your opinion in this context has no relevance, why would I care about who you think is interesting? This was a joke of a "point".
Your opinion again does not matter in this context, staff are to be handled by me &
@Zelkam, and always will be.
If you dislike a certain staff member; get in line, you are not the first nor does it matter, every staff member in every reasonably sized online community has to deal with the stupidity of certain members of the community and it is what it is, that's why it barely affects anyone on the team, not your place to say anything questioning their position, unless they are seriously in violation of rules or something related to that. If that is the case you may report that to us directly and it'll be handled.
Fans: You walk into your friends house and you see their family members, do you get surprised and complain about it?
So why do you get surprised and complain about "fanboys" when you log onto a server that is owned by a content creator with a large following?
Get used to it, this point was again, a waste of time, both for you to write it out and for me to read.
Toxicity: Welcome to the internet, and more specifically, the PVP community! Anything seriously toxic to the point where it could cause physical harm to another player is taken extremely seriously, and this is known. There's not much that can be done to effectively enforce this as majority of these situations happen OFF of our platforms, making it harder to justify punishments.
Welcome to KitPvP!
Breaking news; this is how traditional KitPvP has been on nearly every single notable server that's had it, with actually less variety, not only this but you are so consumed by your own opinions you don't realize that a majority of players still have interest and enjoy the gamemode as it is.
Do I think everyone still likes KitPvP? No, playing several seasons in the past on alts etc. to get leaderboards I completely get that for people who have been doing this for a while, it gets repetitive and boring. That being said; it's not like there's a magic fix we can implement to make everyone enjoy the gamemode again. That'll most likely never change, however I'm more than willing to make changes where I see fit to make it more enjoyable for
all players; not just the small yet loud portion of the server that seems to be fed up with the gamemode.
TL;DR: I acknowledge this point however I don't agree with how you're implying it's like this for every player.
Gonna reply to this in short because there's a lot I can say but it would be most effective to give you the simplest response;
1/2 of the servers you mentioned openly break the EULA as of when this is written (5/2/2020)
If you don't want to buy it, don't, we're not forcing you to play nor purchase anything.
That money does indeed go into development, paying monthly server costs (which are in the thousands, just so you have some idea of what's happening lol), whether or not you decide to believe that, is on you. With that being said, it's a business, majority if not all large networks are businesses, beyond server costs etc. it's profit. Not everything goes into development, not everything goes back into the server, because the server is meant to make a profit, large servers such as Hypixel don't dump all of their earnings into development, they're looking to profit. It's not this big secret that no one has verified before, this has been stated many times, however again, i'm completely fine with trying to find a decent balance between that and the experience for people who don't want to pay, as we get ideas for reasonable changes we can come up with, or that get suggested, I guarantee they'll be changed whenever / however we decide it's appropriate to do so.
And we'll continue to ignore community opinions as we see fit, the amount of power you think the community has is unrealistic, no major network will ever give the community the power that you expect; I don't care whether or not you think that you're correct on a topic about a server you have little to no knowledge of behind the scenes, I really couldn't care less.
You act as if management is actively watching all of your threads looking to pick out the one you made mistakes on; nah you probably have a lot wrong in the other threads as well, however that was the thread that was seen at the time and I responded explaining why more than half your points were wrong.
Again literally no one, not one person, has ever forced you to pay any amount to the network.
How can you fail to realize that you don't know how the server operates therefore any opinion you have on how it's being run is of no importance to anyone of actual power or knowledge in how things function.
When this was written I imagine all of these sections; ban & blacklist appeals, purchase supports, etc were stacked up; however right now, all of these sections aren't stacked up, there's 3 purchase supports ( all waiting on responses for or that i'm about to respond to ), and both a page or so of blacklist / ban appeals that are going to be cleared out very soon ( both sections previously had 15+ pages stacked up each ).
Support is more efficient right now than it has ever been.
While there's no need for extra hands in that sense right now, I recognize the need for consistency in development etc, however that's a very difficult topic to tackle without going in-depth about everything behind the scenes, it's something that's been considered before and is still being considered, there's just a lot that needs to be dealt with. Nonetheless I acknowledge this point and it's considered.
A lot of reasonable people would agree with some of your statements (including me) however a large majority of them will recognize that while your points were strong in some places, you effectively managed to degrade the value of said points by littering the thread with very limiting, self-centered opinions from either yourself or your friends that are biased, opinions like those have no place in a thread that should've focused on the facts.
No response to this I just thought it was funny lol
If I ignored any points; it was purely because something I said applied & invalidated that point already, and it would be repetitive & useless stating it again.
