How much originality is acceptable? Do players like change? If you're going to base yourself off an existing gamemode how much of a twist is acceptable?
I feel rather lost when asking myself these questions because I find most originality in servers nowadays pretty distasteful. One of the biggest changes to factions for example seems to have been custom enchants, most faction servers have these and only slightly differ on your way of obtaining them, the way I see it is it's just another excuse to grind for extended periods of time! "Yeah but there's so many different enchants that add to the gameplay and make pvp more interesting!" I have to completely disagree with this kind of reasonning: most of these enchants are pratically just an excuse to do more damage, that's it. They only thing they add to gameplay is an extra grind that makes pvp confusing, unbalanced and even pay2win in some extreme cases. Please enlighten me on why players like this cancer so much, maybe I just have a twisted view of things after all. (Sorry for long post)
