The main Idea of this post is some protesting. I do not want angry comments debunking my theories, since they are just theories. Several things are talked about on this post. The first thing Is a problem with Rules in Plot Creative
The rules make sense to not spam but does "plot advertising" really count as spam? If you say
"tpa to check out my latest builds" and since it is considered "plot advertising", will you get banned for saying it once? And any spam can just be disabled by going into multiplayer settings and turning off chat. Or adding a global chat feature that can be turned on and off. These features for some reason, have not been thought of and Plot Creative might seem boring at some times. RPs, head shops, skin comps, and other events can cause spam but here people are restricted to build only creations. It's called "Creative" for a reason. Sadly, its not creative.
And why do I care about this you might ask? Am I just trolling the forums to look for Attention? No.
I care because I made a god item shop-Not specified on the rule list!- and while people were coming, one person teleported to me and he was a mod. OrangeGrapeEater to be exact. He examined my plot and stayed there. Shortly after, Creative crashed(It has crashed many times recently). When I came back, My plot was gone. I asked a moderator/builder what had happened. His words:
Luis976, what has happened was that your plot was located in a corrupted chunk. When Creative crashed, your plot was deleted.
After that, he simply left. Although did he have chunk detection or any means of detecting chunks? He was not even on when my plot was deleted and not on before. Do mods/builder have some sort of detection.
If his answer is not true, then I suspect my plot was deleted by OrangeGrapeAlex. This goes back to the rules. It clearly stated "Skin comps, name comps, head shops, and role plays are banned!" God item shops were not specified. You might reply that it refers to any general shop, but if they went to specify "name comps" and "head shops" then wouldn't "god item shops" be specified too?
Apparently, the server doesn't know about "god item shops" I was the only one who knew about them. God items are items that have special effects such as speed +0.1 and such. If OrangeGrapeAlex really did delete my shop, Did he delete it because I was trying to implement something new to the server? Something unheard of at CubeCraftCreative? Maybe.
My Second concern is the situation of KitPvP and donating.
Yes, the server has to make money, but KitPvP takes this too far. To level up you have to buy iron. Why not a level up with points? People have complained that CubeCraft is great but they also say that it has
one of the worst KitPvP servers they've ever seen. I've seen them complain. I am not making this up. I am also not saying this because I do not have donor rank and I am mad because I don't. It's not because of that.
Its a clever marketing technique. KitPvP is its own mini-server. By making level ups available only to donators, It convinces people to donate money to server for a level up on KitPvP. Clever marketing technique. But it has gone too far. With all these people being forced to donatate to higher ranks to get things such as "level 4 warrior" and "obsidian kit" It has been affecting the game Itself. It takes real luck, not PvP skill anymore to play KitPvP. With everyone running around with enchanted diamond swords and armor, KitPvP is really just how much you can donate to kill new players. Its "Buying yourself to victotry". Literally.
I've seen this for a year. In 2013 it was upgrade to iron to level up. 2014 and its still the same thing. How many guesses it will change for 2015?
There really is no chance for new players. In fact, I've seen players buy donator just get high killstreaks on KitPvP! No matter how much your argue, A skilled level 1 PvP master can't beat an enchanted diamond armor guy.
There also seems to be a lack of staff on the server. I've seen player break rules since there is almost no staff on. And contrary to what the rules say, people do give away their OP kits on KitPvP.
UHC needs to be fixed. Allowing players to create their own team names does give them Freedom instead of joining things like "Team Red" Or "Team Yellow" But the issue of the vanity license plate is on UHC.
Like the vanity license plate issue, people can abuse what they call their team names, adding curse/swear words, and advertising IPs. I am not aware of who these people are but they do abuse the team naming capability.
This has been a very long post about all of my concerns on the server. If a server admin/staff member thinks this post is not suitable, then you may do anything with it. I wish to continue playing on CubeCraftGames but some of the issues and bugs make me want to stop playing it.
I hope these issues can be resolved and some explantions can be made clearer about server rules.
