Hi guys


Ever since I came back to playing Minecraft, there’s something that’s been bugging me a bit.

You join an EggWars match, right? Then you notice a bunch of players with high ranks and stone ranks (today I even saw a Mod and a Sr. Mod) in the waiting lobby.

There’s nothing unusual about that. The weird part is that they never seem to actually play.

As soon as the match is about to start or just a few seconds after it begins, these players with Diamond, Obsidian, Helper, Iron, Stone etc. ranks instantly leave.

Some of them will at least vote for OP mode and a free perk, but that’s it. They leave right after. The times they actually stay and play the full match are very rare. And when they do stay, they’re absolute master bridgers with either reduced knockback or some kind of superhuman jump-reset instinct where they can do it without even looking at you. They also almost never carry a sword. Their inventory is basically just a pickaxe, an endless supply of blocks, and gaps.

The lower ranks will stay and take up resources from your iron generator, they will then jump in the void and abandon the game too

I cannot remember the last time i had an ACTUAL full Eggwars game with people willing to play

So what’s going on? Why join the match just to take up space from other potential players who actually want to play? Is there some kind of issue with the gamemode? Or is it so inactive that these players are basically needed to fill lobbies so matches can start without the teams being too unbalanced? And if the latter is the reason, why leave? the teams will be unbalanced regardless.

And it happens ALL throughout the day too, on my free days i'll test it by playing early in the morning, or very late at night, and these guys are ALWAYS there just doing the same thing over and over, are they even real people?

Am i overthinking or going insane?

its cause most ppl jump into games see maps they do not like or players they do not want to play against, that is my theory anyway

you speaking about java or bedrock ? I personaly rarely encounter these players , but maybe cuz i dont play much eggwars when my friends arent online xD ?
Anyway about leaving the game at last seconed some of us do that high ranked players , not that we dont want to play but sometimes we are looking for esay games and wait for the game to start to start another on or a player that we know its anoyying to play against ( maybe better or just gonna make the game longer when we are not into long games ) or maybe teams got split up ( its happens often) .
