I really wish people would actually evaluate the result of Mojang's actions rather then blindly siding with Mojang. I asked a question openly, to multiple people and the best I got was, "We'll still be allowed to play Minecraft." This is just ridiculous. Why do you agree with Mojang's decision if you cannot even give me a reason why it will benefit the community?

I stand by one of my earlier statements in that those that are against pay for perk features are jealous of those that were able to pay for such features, because all I hear is complaints against said feature without any actual good reasons as to why. It's a crude way to look at it, but honestly they dodge any direct request for a reason, so what else am I to think?

However, I can actually explain multiple reasons as to why it is BAD for the community. It could potentially (and according to one large server that has posted, may actually) cause people to lose their jobs (which could potentially make people/families homeless), it could inhibit the gameplay of such servers as they are forced to use alternative means for income beyond gameplay features. It actually directly stifles creation by limiting what you're allowed to make (no capes). It creates a bad impression that Mojang will take away from the community at any time for any reason without negotiation. I've got plenty of reasons its NOT good for the community. I cannot really find one reason its good.



One thing I'd like to keep mind for those that reply to me, I don't play on large servers. I design mod content and art. I'm the original creator of the Ender Storage mod, I occasionally twitch stream and I've been contributing my other ideas to various other mods over the years (be it art or gameplay concepts). I don't actually lose much myself by these restrictions, but I am still speaking against them. I also am acting and not just speaking by actually moving my content creation to a open source platform (http://minetest.net) which will give me the ability to make content and have rights over said content.

why? because you dont think about it! Don't you get it? If they do that all the big servers will stop! they only could sell cosmetic things like name tag color (who do you think buys that?). About 50% of all the content in the www is based on big servers: youtube vides/ let's plays/ animations, Maps, Animations, Plugins. Not only that all this people are jobless then (big server teams) also alot of players will stop playing the game (also players who have nothing to do with it because so much good stuff will just get killed).

I have one specific question, if someone could answer it, that'd be great.

Are we allowed to sell ranks that give gameplay advantages for soft currency? In other words, are we allowed to make ranks that have benefits in gameplay over the other ranks, and which you can buy for the in-game currency, the virtual money you earn in the game while playing on the server?

If I reply as the posts come in, it would exceed my 10 post count limit.
If I reply to everything at once, it gets marked as spam for being too long.
Perfect.

"The End of Minecraft".

I can't help but laugh at the sheer absurdity of that.
