Mojang did provide infrastructure for the game and mods. However we all saw with the EULA they were getting a tad bit greedy. They were trying to control how servers made their money for their ranks/products. If people want to spend $1000 on a rank then let them. It's their money, not Mojang's. Mojang trying to stop this shows they are starting to get greedy with server Owners who are making more money at times.[DOUBLEPOST=1433942022,1433941950][/DOUBLEPOST]Along with the Bukkit DMCA. Sure they bought Bukkit but most the team was not even getting paid. The way Mojang treats people at times is shady as shit.

Hate to say it but the game is mostly filled with 12 year olds SWEARING all the time thinking they are so bad-ass. It use to be where you and multiple friends would actually enjoy and give time out of your life to play the game together. The community use to be nice and mature. People would enjoy pvping and seeing who is the best but now.. Most of us here wouldn't be staying here if we didn't own a server/worked for one.
Exactly. When I get on servers and PvP. I usually get sworn at or hit offline for killing someone. The community is broken and Mojang just sits back supporting the 12 year olds. Youtubers have caused the 12 year olds to show up though.
yes im sure everyone 4 years ago everyone on minecraft was friendly and then suddenly pvp changes made them rude and mean[DOUBLEPOST=1433942299][/DOUBLEPOST]
yeah it sucks that theres only one server to choose from
How do they grab your ip from inside the server?
This is happening almost everywhere. Not just one server.
So much for a kind community amirite.. KIDS buying booters to hit off (illegal) someone they DON'T EVEN KNOW IN REAL LIFE. like wtf has this community turned in to, so much for making friends.
my understanding of the EULA is that it is there to protect little kids from being manipulated by server owners into spending their parent's money on stupid stuff, while simultaneously improving the overall quality of minecraft servers by reducing the amount of "pay2win". i for one think pay2win is cancerous and totally support this.
however i admit i haven't read the EULA and don't really know much about it because, like i said, i don't really play minecraft. i just am here for business. ^_^
it is filled with 12 year olds because children are the primary demographic. this may not have been the original intention of the developers but that's how the game has ended up, and when you look at other games (video games or otherwise) that involve creative expression most of their core demographic is children as well. that's cause kids like having simple tools of expression - and this is commonly encouraged by parents.
if you want to blame someone for how the community has evolved, blame server-owners for building servers that appeal/cater to the demographic of people that you dislike. but i don't think that's fair either because that's just how capitalism works. so if you really want to blame someone, blame Adam Smith.

Most servers I play on these days I talk with others over Skype. I'm sure people have asked for it at times.
Ahh ok.
no its really not. there are thousands of servers to choose from. i've played servers that arent pay2win and are grief-proof and im sure there are tons more out there
Server Owners honestly don't manipulate their players. Most Owners don't even talk to random players on their servers. If I tried to message an Owner they would either treat me like a noob or tell me they are busy.
yeah literally the whole community does that and i cannot find a single good server :///[DOUBLEPOST=1433942586,1433942545][/DOUBLEPOST]
cuz u r a noob lol
The whole "Pay2win" is a joke. You are in control of your money. If you wish to be a retard and pay to win then go ahead. 12 year olds are the only people really doing this because they don't know better. When they do it most their parents are not doing anything so they are ok with it.
huh? the way they design their servers is a form of manipulation. the mini-games they choose, or what type of server their server is, what they have available on their server, voting, ranks, rewards, methods of progression, everything is there to manipulate (you) the player into staying on their server and paying them money. because that is how every capitalist form of making money works - even this website we are on right this very minute. so the modern state of the game's community should be blamed on these people rather than mojang themselves - if you want to blame anyone.
yeah i think pay2win is stupid and there are a lot of servers that are pay2win but the eula was supposed to fix that ^_^
you are in control of your money but if other people are paying to win then that still ruins the experience
yeah
The eula was dumb. Kids these days are dumb.
"Steal your mom's credit card to purchase a VIRTUAL ITEM that cost $1000s"
Read that out, like honestly who the fuck is that dumb.
BTW most server owners are here because of the money, no one is here to use their own money to keep the server running and keep on saying " Im not here for the money" Like honestly stfu.
i agree. literally kids these days are so dumb and back when i was a kid a few years ago i was really smart but something changed in 4 years that made kids really dumb. it's a shame really :/
