High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Right, what am I missing? What's the punchline?
mc account sales are gone, which is a large source of traffic for the site. Mc account selling being removed will affect not just that section, but also currency conversion, middlemen, general discussion, and a lot more, I'm sure. Either way, the site is going to see a drop in activity, might even kill off the site, who knows. Sad times.
Thanks for the context! Account selling/purchasing has been around for as long as I can remember.

Indeed. Obviously, it's their choice, but they'll be alienating a huge part of the community, one that's been here since the start and helped the site grow over the years. Personally, even though I don't actively sell accounts, I'll probably be leaving soon. MCMarket was a great place to research and discuss about accounts with the community, but with the practice outlawed and 4+ years of account sale history hidden, the site will be a lot less enjoyable than it has been.
I’m happy they finally took a stance and ended the long-standing hypocrisy, but I don’t agree with the decision to remove accounts.
I genuinely despise Mojang as a company. They used to be an incredible company that cared for their community and promoted creativity throughout the player base. Now all they care about is money.
Mojang simply cannot fathom other people making money off of their game. They’ve become bitter and greedy and have proven time and again to be lazy and outright corrupt when it comes to Minecraft accounts.
I also didn’t know the EULA was automatically applied to sites that harbored Minecraft items. Technically making money off of anything Minecraft is against the TOS.

It seems staff hold that view, as well. I suppose we'll just see where site activity and growth goes from here
I stg mojang is wasting more money and resources chasing kids that are making a buck off there game than actually improving there security. The fact that mojang does not have 2fa in 2020 in an actual meme.
Mojang is too busy trying to monetize Minecraft every way possible. They want us to buy their minecoins
I don't think the site will die, even if the majority of the site is here for selling accounts. The community is just too strong and many people are connected, so just letting the community die wouldn't be a good option. There will definetly be selling accounts but not on MCM (basically off-siting AF), but still.
The site will probably drop in activity, but keep in mind not all people are here for accounts, some are looking for graphics, etc... Even if the majority of the playerbase around here is here for this purpose, the site will definetly stay alive and will battle through rough times.[DOUBLEPOST=1600767200][/DOUBLEPOST]
EDIT: I think that some users won't even notice the difference in activity.

Site Activity will be damaged but definetly not killed.It seems staff hold that view, as well. I suppose we'll just see where site activity and growth goes from here
