-1 this is something i can understand why you would do this however its kind of dumb that mojang is this weird to do that.
First of all it takes time to grind all of these top 5 rewards and makes the game play to win. NOT pay to win.
Second of all there seems to be no problem with having buycraft you already have a store setup with paypal and like all that stuff idk but yeah anyways mostly the fact that it takes a ton of time and hard work just to grind for a top stats and get a reward which is something you should keep because it not only encourages people to play more it also encourages people who also want some type of in game reward as well. Some people probably grind as well for the in game rewards from /prestige and stuff. Also I am sort of confused, I saw this video
this guy briefly explains about the eula rule "broken" on a different server. Of course this isn't a related yt video to invaded but I am using this video as an example for this "eula" problem.
Around at 1:35 or something he does explain that your not allowed to sell in game items etc. for real world money. YOU DO NOT BREAK THIS RULE!!!!!!! You guys have specifically stated in the rules that you are NOT allowed to sell in game items for irl benefit. Or any type of irl deals
outside of invaded.
3:25 he also says that there's a ton of yt's in the world that have advertised certain servers and have gained some type of money from there monetization and the server if they are practically related in being the owner and gained some money from it as well. Now let me compare that to Skeppy. Skeppy HAS owned invadedlands since like a while now. I have been told that all the money bought from the store all goes to him. Skeppy owns invaded as he said there's nothing wrong with it if he does not claim that he owns it but he does own it.
Right after he talked about how mojang didn't necessarily like this, I have to say that I don't think that invaded is pay to win at all LOL. It's quite easy just to stack up on gear by saving up items etc. Ask irl dealers for a rankup. I've seen players like dioses he was once default then got irl deals all the way up to like overlord or something. And he actually knew how to play the game. Most people just play the game and don't understand the concepts of it and instantly give up thinking its pay to win when really they have no idea how to even play the game.
4:20 mojang makes this update or something explaining its not okay to just sell items and gain money benefit but if there is some time of youtube or video advertisement then sure it can be ok.
They also stated cosmetics are okay to sell which is tags so don't consider removing them in the future which hopefully you do not.
He also explained that if you were to not agree to these rules you guys won't be able to use any newer versions. You said the exact same thing so this is something I can understand and agree on. Also to the thought of removing unbans is something that would be sort of okay mainly because there is a lot of cheaters and they just wanna play again and probably will cheat again and they give you guys money just to play on the server again when there is appeals for a reason and reducing punishments.
Thats the sort of the end of the video that discusses about minecraft's eula unless you are a big fan of 2b2t and wanna watch the rest anyways there is my opinions.
And one more thing, if you don't wanna add it back then I am okay with it but I just want you to read what I said maybe talk to mojang and explain which if you can't then I understand but that's just my opinion's please read them.
