yes

deep wing
#

@wet sinew literally complains of that too

inland tangle
#

that's cool but that's not the point i was ever talking about

#

not mutually exclusive

deep wing
#

So you’re fighting us because we don’t ONLY support your things

inland tangle
#

possibly the worst way to word it but in a nutshell yes

deep wing
#

They want it somewhat reverted and you want it buffed

inland tangle
#

correct

#

i believe reversion is a worse solution than a repair

deep wing
#

why

#

They almost completely deleted THOUSANDS

#

AND THOUSANDS

#

Maybe even millions

#

In ranks

#

Just by that update

inland tangle
#

.. which is why i want those people to get their amends by buffing the og ranks

deep wing
#

But why not they keep their full rank

inland tangle
#

i don't see much issue in having a monthly rank system provided that you fix everything else

#

there's not a perfect solution

deep wing
#

And have like an expensive monthly rank just like hypixel does

inland tangle
#

you'd have people complaining that the people with that rank are p2w

#

you see how this doesn't have a perfect solution

deep wing
#

uh

#

Hypixel does it

#

Just it’s a little different

inland tangle
#

not the same

#

hypixel is a server

#

minehut is a host

deep wing
#

They’re gonna complain

#

But is it deleting millions of dollars in ranks?

inland tangle
#

you keep saying that and they never did that

deep wing
#

They did

inland tangle
#

they just made the ranks less useful

#

they didn't DELETE money

deep wing
#

I said in ranks

#

Not MONEY

inland tangle
#

they also didn't delete the ranks they just made the ranks less useful

#

the ranks still exist

#

theyre just ..bad now

deep wing
#

Yeah

#

Reverting that and just adding a monthly subscription like Minehut Premium or something

unreal ferry
#

“pure inbred monkeys”

wet sinew
deep wing
unreal ferry
#

“Minehut simps” “pink minehut simp” “Pure inbred monkeys” - Coming from 2 people who would just insult others for the slightest of disagreement

#

If the game’s just about who can come up with the most childish, immature insults, then clearly you two won that. Now I’m done adding to this as I’ve already said what I wanted to say

inland tangle
#

i think that your additional reasons are wrong

#

it's like you were cutting out paper and left an extra bit

deep wing
wet sinew
#

Also every person with a pink name i've come in contact with has been a minehut simp and agrees with the ranks update it's no coincidence

deep wing
#

Yeah

deep wing
#

Not false

#

You were throwing insults at people

wet sinew
deep wing
#

Now

#

Obviously

#

You made some of the first insults on our side before swapping

obtuse birch
wet sinew
#

@obtuse birch was the first to throw insults tbh they made the sarcastic gifs

deep wing
#

But now it’s turned into mostly insults because of your side

obtuse birch
#

You said you were leaving “this dumpster fire”

deep wing
deep wing
wet sinew
obtuse birch
#

Because of me you decide to start throwing insults and spamming gifs

#

What logic is that

deep wing
#

It’s an argument across 4 threads, with only you 3 vs 20 other people

wet sinew
#

I'm speaking generally on the absolute state of minehut

obtuse birch
#

There ain’t 4 theeads

deep wing
#

You guys spend your life on these threads just insulting and not making any actual argument

#

You haven’t made any actual argument bro

obtuse birch
#

Isn’t that what your doing

#

You guys are insulting me

obtuse birch
deep wing
#

No @wet sinew explained what he means

wet sinew
deep wing
#

Yalll don’t

#

Yeah

inland tangle
#

i do think the random gifs is stupid

#

stop doing that youre not funny arti

#

but

wet sinew
# obtuse birch No

You're in denial again just saying "no" against facts there's more than 4 threads

obtuse birch
#

I’ve yet to see the threads

#

I see only this and that old one that’s inactive

inland tangle
#

if he was really trying to silence you he would've closed this one too when he first saw it

wet sinew
inland tangle
#

^^ which is why its being confined to just one thread

#

borderline spam

obtuse birch
#

The message counts

#

It’s just spam theeads

wet sinew
#

There's more threads that's just the few from my 3 seconds of searching

wet sinew
deep wing
#

Yeah

obtuse birch
#

Like 20-30 out of literal thousands

#

Move on

#

It’s not changing, throwing insults won’t help

deep wing
#

It’s often when you do something bad and have a large scaled community you’re gonna get like more than 1 thread 🤯🤯

inland tangle
#

this update has problems, yes, but the majority of people have just accepted it

wet sinew
#

If the ranks update was GOOD there would be 50 threads praising minehut for their hard work and how to improve it further etc

deep wing
inland tangle
#

this is a community where nobody ever agrees on anything

deep wing
#

You look at the small amount

#

And think it’s 50%

wet sinew
deep wing
#

Ofc when they agree with you

inland tangle
#

every single update minehut ever has will always have two sides of opinions

#

it's a natural thing with a big community

#

just the nature of it

deep wing
inland tangle
wet sinew
deep wing
#

Yeah

obtuse birch
#

It’s just these two

inland tangle
#

if you're saying that there's no action being done then it's time to bite the bullet and cover the wound

obtuse birch
#

I’m so sick of these threads fr

deep wing
# obtuse birch Fr

Bro, you sit here with your p2w server acting like this is a good update because you’re gonna profit off of it shush

wet sinew
obtuse birch
#

I DONT EVEN HAVE A SERVER OUT

#

HOW HAVE YOU NOT REALIZED THAT?

#

I haven’t had a server out in months

deep wing
#

YOU ONLY AGREEING FOR PROFIT 🗣️🗣️🗣️

wet sinew
deep wing
#

Is it original or a plastic copy of another server?

deep wing
#

Plastic copy ofc

inland tangle
wet sinew

that was a bad metaphor

#

let me think of a better one

That is not even close to what weee doing

🤯🤯🤯

wet sinew

Not really

deep wing
#

Yeah it is

#

And it wasn’t even close to the first

#

It was like probably one of the first 50

wet sinew
deep wing
#

And was already hella p2w 💀

inland tangle
deep wing
#

There were like 20 others

wet sinew

You literally hopped on the badwagon of clout chasing lifesteal smp players

#

@obtuse birch

How is not moving on leaving the wound uncovered if the update is what caused the wound

wet sinew
# obtuse birch No

If clouted youtubers didn't make a youtube series on it your lifesteal server wouldn't exist rn

deep wing
#

ONG

#

You just jumped on a trend bro

inland tangle
#

okay let's break this

#

this has nothing to do with the thread

#

quiet

inland tangle
deep wing

#

or rather the bullet would split but im not one for actual physics

inland tangle
deep wing
#

How does the update cause the wound and then you leave said wound alone means it’s healing?

deep wing
inland tangle
#

i didn't mean in a metaphorical context

#

im just asking you to define the difference between fixing a wound and attending a wound

#

like in general

@leaden hazel This is wild you're outing roblox on predatory practices while minehut is doing the same

wet sinew

They have their twitter linked right in their bio

#

nvm it's not there anymore they removed it ig?

revert the update please (:

this is a ridiculous claim, all he did was find a contradiction in a really recent tweet of SamD's and post it

"A monthly billing system can be beneficial for both the users and the service provider. For users, it offers more flexibility and allows them to try out different levels of service without a long-term commitment. Users can easily upgrade, downgrade, or cancel their subscriptions as per their convenience. For the service provider, it ensures a steady stream of revenue and enables them to invest in improving the quality of service.

Lowering the ad cap can also have positive effects on the platform. Spammy or irrelevant advertisements can negatively impact user experience, and reducing the number of ads can create a more pleasant and engaging environment for users. It can also encourage advertisers to focus on creating more targeted and relevant ads, which can be more effective in generating user engagement and revenue." - ChatGPT

deep wing
#

What he actually means: I love minehut rank update because it shuts down lower budget servers so my p2w 600 dollar rank server with my 55 patron ad bots can out ad them all so they will never be noticed and you’ll be forced to play my trashy money grabbing server instead of the 100 hours the lower budget owners spent making an actually good and original server for my 2 hour plastic copy of another server.

#

This is the reason why send the gifs

# obtuse birch "A monthly billing system can be beneficial for both the users and the service p...

ChatGPT response:
"While a monthly billing system may offer more flexibility, in the case of Minehut, it seems that this change was implemented without prior warning, effectively rendering the purchases of many customers useless. This can be perceived as a betrayal of trust and can negatively impact customer loyalty. It is also concerning that this change heavily favors those who can afford the high monthly fees, leaving behind smaller teams and individuals who may not be able to compete.

Furthermore, while lowering the ad cap may improve user experience, it is important to consider the impact on the revenue of the service provider. Ads are a significant source of income for many online platforms, and a drastic reduction in ad cap may negatively affect their ability to sustain the quality of their services.

In conclusion, it is important for service providers to consider the impact of their decisions on their customers and to communicate any changes in advance. Additionally, while user experience is crucial, it is also important to consider the financial sustainability of the service provider."

deep wing
#

Is because we’ve shown it destroys poorer and smaller servers whilst pulling up the stronger and bigger servers

#

Plus the ranks are overpriced af

#

150$ a month to run some ads

#

Plus the money you gotta spend on plugins and stuff

celest saddle
#

jk!

deep wing
#

It’s just the same thing over and over again

#

Minehut now is just a repetitive crap hole

#

You have to actually look to get a decent server

#

Back then you could find an original server or a non p2w server so easily

#

Just by looking at the top list

#

Now it’s just gens and box servers

celest saddle
# deep wing Now it’s just gens and box servers

servers are unable to function without offering ranks with some sort of in game advantage. It is called p2w, but at this point it is normal and people need to deal with it.

Servers that offer extreme p2w ranks/items are the servers that are the issue. Not the servers that offer kits for donors.

deep wing
#

Which is most top servers

#

200 dollar ranks

#

30 dollar keys

#

The ability to just buy your way to the top

#

That’s the thing we’re complaining about

#

I don’t mind tiny things

celest saddle
#

Yeah I know, but there isn’t really a way to stop it

#

The update only made it easier for the servers who make bank off of being p2w to advertise

#

I don’t think the update should be removed entirely, but instead make some more drastic changes that would more align with what the players would want

deep wing
#

Instead of player ad capping why not server capping based on server plan?

barren lotus
#

so it will be biased

deep wing
#

it’s still trash

#

The update is still bad bro

#

Cause now servers are basically FORCED to add more p2w crap to just keep floating

wet sinew
shrewd robin
magic shard
fickle kettle
#

At this point it's not even owners fault

#

But these extreme prices for ads is disgusting

#

Even vip rank 800 credits a month is terrible

wet sinew
#

Money wise the barrier to entry compared to minehut in the past has increased drastically

fickle kettle
#

Yeah

#

I'm glad I got in early because otherwise I would have never started a server

#

When I started
Default= 10 minute cooldown unlimited ads
4 months ago
Default= 20 minutes cooldown unlimited ads
Now
Default= 4 ads a month

wet sinew

at this point i hope mh just removes /ad from default rank

yes I did indeed say it, not just may

shrewd robin

it would have been better if you just did not respond

#

you clearly do not care enough to entertain the idea that people have lost the privileges they have purchased from ranks in the past by this change

barren lotus
wheat raptor

point is, we were appreciative about what we got for free, now, we don't get jack

it's like if there was a mom, father, son and daughter and everyone but the daughter dies in a car crash

you're the one telling that girl "well at least you didn't die too"

#

and then saying that she didn't deserve her family in the first place

well in the second part you simply state what we already did

#

and minehut cannot legally force them to be p2w because they literally force them to agree to the EULA
and yes they dont care but that simply means they are doing illegal stuff not that they can do it

deep wing
#

Even if it was one of the best

#

It would only pull like 3-4 players lmao

4 ads is a bit too little for default but I think other ranks are fine enough

wet sinew
magic shard
# celest saddle they don't legally force them, the owners don't have an option !!!!!!

you always have an option (doing nothing is always an option if you are not physically forced)
(i mean often doing nothing isnt the right thing to do, but here it is)
if you cannot maken your server without breaking the EULA you simply shouldnt make that server
like you literally agree that you will not make your server p2w when making a server

wheat raptor
#

Interesting alternative to this issue

#

Minehut starts enforcing the EULA again so there aren't p2w servers that abuse the service of advertising because they have more unfair money

#

Then the players that subscribe to ranks for their servers are actually doing it for servers that don't suck

little herald
#

What

#

That solves nothing

violet furnace
#

wahhhh

little herald
#

Yeah that does literally nothing for anyone

wet sinew
#

Did minehut just remove paid server gui ads?

wet sinew
little herald
little herald
wheat raptor
#

In my mind there's two issues

  1. Minehut is filled with P2W dumpster fire servers that are created and played daily, that are unregulated and do not get removed.

  2. Minehut's rank subscriptions force players to pay for growth, rather than being able to grow a server from the ground for free (like was previously available).

Those two issues, when looked at together, make issue C).

C) Servers that are P2W scam normally child aged players out of a large amount of money a month, making them able to afford better ranks and therefore continue to advertise their P2W server.

So if you fix P2W you don't have scam servers taking advantage of the sucky ranks, if you fix the ranks you don't have P2W servers taking advantage of anything, but still existing, and taking out both removes P2W from Minehut and fixes the issue of the ranks being really bad unless you pay a ton of money.

#

I think you think that it "solves nothing" because you yourself own a p2w server and if Minehut began enforcing the EULA again you'd be screwed out of what you've "made"

little herald
# wheat raptor In my mind there's two issues 1) Minehut is filled with P2W dumpster fire serve...

Ok so lets say minehut solved the issue of P2W tomorrow and enforced the EULA; whats next
ranks are still the same price. growth is still the same price. nothing really changes except that people who come into minehut or external servers only stay popular, minehut servers stay down because people who come to minehut dont have the amount of money normally to pay for as much advertising as external servers

i do agree that default needs more ads so people can start up, but i think minehut itself needs monthly ad system in place so that abuse of it through botting is made less as botters will only be able to ad so many times a day before it becomes useless

wheat raptor
wet sinew
wheat raptor
#

If they fix P2W they don't have P2W servers abusing the ranks they clearly want to keep

little herald
wheat raptor
#

Knowing that they won't change the ranks back the best fix is to make them as beneficial for free to play players as possible

wet sinew
wheat raptor
little herald
#

im trying to find a way where minehut can be happy and players can be happy, just impossible if you're just going to target me for having a popular network lol

magic shard
#

this is a side point in which you are partly right imo, but keeping on it doesnt help the discussion either

little herald
#

imo i think this can be all resolved if minehut just buffs default a bit

wheat raptor
#

My point with this is that GameTime doesn't want p2w to be removed because they themselves are p2w and unoriginal, therefore they neglect the entire point of my point, being that I'm right

wet sinew
wheat raptor
#

"I'm not p2w my box server with 300 afk players isn't p2w my servers an original box server never been done before" argument incoming

little herald
# wheat raptor My point with this is that GameTime doesn't want p2w to be removed because they ...

p2w is completely unrelated as i had already shown in my above argument, so please stop bringing it here. minehut made this to have more profit and to make it so botting is a worse prospect

here was my thing about p2w if you didnt see it:

Ok so lets say minehut solved the issue of P2W tomorrow and enforced the EULA; whats next
ranks are still the same price. growth is still the same price. nothing really changes except that people who come into minehut or external servers only stay popular, minehut servers stay down because people who come to minehut dont have the amount of money normally to pay for as much advertising as external servers

wheat raptor
#

No I saw it you're just wrong

little herald
#

ok

wheat raptor
#

Well, you entire statement is unrelated to my point

little herald
wet sinew
wheat raptor
#

Minehut is obviously not removing the ranks no matter how sucky it is

wheat raptor
#

So if you remove p2w you have no p2w servers taking advantage of the sucky ranks, because they have more scam money to spend on higher ranks in order to use on their scam servers

little herald
wheat raptor
#

And my claim is about that

wet sinew
magic shard
#

i would rather say p2w servers make the issue of rank advertising being a rich mans game worse

wheat raptor
#

That is the point yes

#

P2W servers get money from scamming kids that they can then put back into higher ranks so they can advertise scam servers more

#

Non p2w servers don't scam kids, get less money, can't advertise at such a level and get buried on Minehut

#

Therefore the common denominator to fix this issue is either to fix ranks (which they won't do) or enforce the eula again

magic shard
#

problem is that this situation temporarily means profit for minehut
(not long run cause people leave if theres only boring servers)

wheat raptor
#

Something makes me think if there's less p2w servers there will be a more unique variety available on Minehut

#

Because p2w usually falls under the box/gen/lifesteal/skymine throw up vomit category

#

Especially on MH

wheat raptor
#

Byte/gametime just doesn't think that it will fix anything because what it will fix is servers like theirs from existing

magic shard
magic shard
wheat raptor
#

That's not a personal attack it's a factual statement

magic shard
#

that doesnt rule out the other

wheat raptor
#

Then I'd say that it's a necessary attack in order to get the point across that p2w is bad and supporting or using it to grow makes you just as

#

While also relating it to the obvious issue of the Minehut climate

little herald
#

dude come on my god.
ok so you are mad that some people are making a lot of money on minehut and are advertising their server with it, ok cool

once again, if we removed this, it would not help any of the new server owners or anyone, rather would just satisfy you but wouldnt help anyone at all.

Notice how this entire time they haven't said their server is not p2w and haven't denounced or wanted p2w to be removed, because it benefits them financially and socially in the current Minehut climate

theres around 420-450 people just in the lobby, and there are so few ads. ads are a lot more worth it now and it has been shown

Worst part is that even after it was written and straight up admitted that one of the top servers on Minehut is p2w and breaks the EULA Minehut still won't remove it

huh? it isnt against minehuts rules or anything

#

why would minehut remove anything

wheat raptor
#

Its against Minecraft's rules

which isnt minehuts rules once again

Y'know the thing Minehut is on

which minehut doesnt have to make servers abide by unless minecraft tells it to

wet sinew

no p2w would make the problem better
but not solve it

little herald
#

im confused, isnt $600 worse?

little herald
#

from what im seeing its easier to get good ranks

wheat raptor
#

You've turned me into that fr

#

Hearing a non ironic argument on the side of keeping pay to win servers because they cause no issue makes me feel like they placed my brain in Chernobyl, then returned it to my body after 25 years of radiation damage and expect that it would work the same

#

Minecraft has to do the same thing meaning Minehut has to aswell

#

Which if servers break EULA on minehut that endangers Minehut itself because they are the platform it’s being hosted on and they DO have the power to control them

#

It’s not like the servers are gonna COMPLETELY shut down

#

They’re just gonna have to rework until they fit the EULA

#

which then leads to no more 300 dollar ranks for prot 23 godsets and 3 stacks of egaps!!!!

little herald
#

stop speaking about stuff you know nothing about

deep wing
#

Alright so they just have “sub-servers” breaking Eula

little herald
main glen
#

the old one was better

abstract laurel
#

And check the 6,000 online right now for P2w

deep wing
#

Still

#

It’s an infraction of the EULA

#

but do you think minecraft is gonna look for a 12 player server with heavy p2w?

#

No

#

They mainly went for larger populated servers

abstract laurel
#

Any other host doesn't check servers

deep wing
#

It’s still wrong

#

These servers majorly profit from little kids

Which is again, against EULA

aint even that far

Now look, I don't wanna eggsagurate my opinion on this update, nor do I want to make a yolk out of my opinion. But simply put, I eggspected more from this update Sam. The idea was right but the eggsecution was completely scrambled. I feel the rank was not as eggceptional as the announcements made it out to be. I recommend you eggvaluate your methodology and return next year with more eggsperience in the field

wet sinew
inland tangle
#

what does that..

wet sinew
#

Maybe it was that jukebox cosmetic

little herald
#

which is what the egg rank is

#

i cant believe you are really arguing over a few more colors in the same rank 💀

inland tangle
#

not to mention they have to do extra stuff to get the coloured tag anyway

#

you don't just get it by having a monthly rank you have to do 2 other challenges

wet sinew
#

I'm just trying to gauge Minehuts direction based off bread crumbs like the EGG rank and how holiday events were previously hosted.

inland tangle
#

we've never done much stuff for easter before but that's because this is the first of this holiday with SamD

#

things are obviously gonna be different than previously

deep wing
# frozen moon What do you mean by this?

Do you think minehut is gonna use EULA on a 12 player server? No. But they use it on hundred-thousand player servers because they’re the popular ones that need to be following EULA guidelines because kids are mostly monetized there

Nah bro just telling people the exact locations of each egg ruins it

inland tangle
#

but i thought the egg rank was useless according to you?

#

shouldn't matter that much?

#

also nothing stopping someone from just searching for it yourself

?? lmao and you wonder why we get mad when you literally change your opinion

# wet sinew

imagine spending $5 for a rank you can still get for free by /voting

#

yes ik you can't get it in time now

#

but if you had 800 credits before

#

you can get the rank

#

without paying $5

@leaden hazel If this post gets 100 upvotes will you consider changing the ranks update

there's three sides atm

rich people that are gonna keep spending money

poor people (like me) with og ranks

nons that dont care

wet sinew
#

Well not a complete equality just lessens it. but grey chat color is just a drop of water in the ocean

#

I do think it would be cool if og ranks had white chat color though

wild comet
#

i really dont care about the update since i just hop in to enjoy some fun games
understand where people are coming from tho

#

if og ranks get white chat, ill be happy

wet sinew
wild comet
#

yea im not an advertiser. i just got vip with my points so i can fly around

little herald
#

tbh at the moment, it does require less upfront money to get your foot in the door

this update is just not good for people who have no money at all to spend

wet sinew
little herald
#

And if you can begin getting popular paying $100 a month for it shouldn’t be that hard. It will also only begin becoming bad after 6 months, and if you have been adding and paying for patreon for 6 months and your server is still not popular enough to even give 100 a month then like

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Then look at liable

#

Liable isn’t p2w and it started out just a month a ago and it’s cosmetic

#

And they buy lots of ads

little herald
#

According to Eula that isn’t p2w

wet sinew
#

@wheat raptor 💀

little herald
#

But isn’t it in the eula if it’s not pvp it’s fine?

#

Idk I haven’t properly read it

wet sinew
#

Not to mention you're probably giving minehut kids a gambling addiction

little herald
wet sinew
#

Liable is only able to buy monthly ads because they're p2w LOL

main glen
#

we don't call that p2w because lootboxes are still obtainable in the server

#

you can call it pay to not grind

#

Semi-p2w

wet sinew
#

90 upvotes we need 10 more we've got this

main glen
#

it reached more than 200 sign

wet sinew
#

Yes

wheat raptor
#

So if it's a cosmetic that doesn't do anything but look pretty it's not p2w

#

If it's a crate key but you can (without spending money) earn crate keys by doing x amount of tasks (and it's the same keys you can get from purchasing) then it's not p2w

little herald
#

well so then ig my point stands

green bolt
#

i think ranks should be similar to the ones from hypixel

#

they're purely cosmetic

#

and vip gives white text

#

and like someone said before minehut can have colored ads and stuff bundled with plans instead

wheat raptor
#

Well if ranks are purely cosmetic then there wouldn't be more ads per month for them

#

Which is why Minehut is p2w

#

Like it's not regular p2w like other servers, but it's p2w in the sense where if you spend 600 a month on patron you've got more to grow your server

wet sinew

i would never agree with p2w servers

#

how off the mark do you have to be for Moco & Arti, possibly the most argumentative people i know (no offense) to disagree with you

wet sinew
#

Peoples argument is if it's not against Mojang EULA then it's not p2w. That's such a poor perspective to have. It's like saying if there isn't a law to commit a crime then it's ok

small grail
#

skyblock is my biggest fan

inland tangle
#

your entire front runner is reverting the update when that doesn't reflect your actual points at all

#

you can't say it's p2w and then not expect someone to bring up the EULA because that's literally what p2w means in the minecraft context

# wet sinew analogy

your anology said having your predefined 'p2w' elements in your server (even if it isnt against EULA) is a crime

To go with your analogy, let me use one that's similar, your sheer determination here is the equivalent to eating something expired a month ago and then only feeling the effects now

Good comparisons

inland tangle
#

thank you

hexed relic
#

^^

lapis wolf
#

its different from that stuff. those companies had those features implemented in the first place. ads for real companies are different from ads for minecraft servers

#

if the majority of the userbase uses advertisements then making an update where the majority of the userbase cant use advertisements will make a lot of people mad

inland tangle
#

that's cool but shouldn't we be grateful we had it in the first place

lapis wolf
#

and now we basically dont even have it

#

we cant even send 1 ad per day

#

over 1 month

#

and now people have more of a reason to spam chat with advertisements that dont use /ad

#

which will flood out the people who used 1 of their 20 monthly ads

#

the ENTIRE CHAT RN is all people spam advertising without /ad

#

it used to be a few people from now and then

#

but now this is so much more of a problem

#

maybe instead of focusing on money you should focus on finding a solution that makes the community happy and still keeps some profit?

inland tangle
#

that's cool but did you know minehut has mod apps open

#

and is actively trying to fix that

lapis wolf
#

the ad cooldown system was good enough

#

also the only reason you probably dont care is because you have patron rank with some 40 player server or smth

inland tangle
#

i don't own a public server nor do i have patron rank

lapis wolf
#

then the only reason you dont care is because the problem doesnt affect you

inland tangle
#

it does

#

i lost money from this

#

i coped heavily and just got on with it

deep wing
#

People still complain just not as dedicated as you

#

The only people fighting against it rn are minehut meatriders, p2w server owners, etc.

inland tangle
#

so everyone that disagrees with you is bad?

#

that's a great way to debate

lapis wolf
#

the majority of the people that disagree with us are those people

#

doesnt mean all of them are

inland tangle
#

are they that or are you labelling them that because they disagree with you

#

seriously

lapis wolf
#

its the people that arent affected/affect positively by it

inland tangle
#

everyone on minehut is affected by this update

lapis wolf
#

exactly

inland tangle
#

yeah

#

so that point is invalid

lapis wolf
#

some people dont have any public servers

#

and dont use /ad

#

so it doesnt affect them that much

#

like you

#

and some people are rich enough that they can just buy 20 alts with patron to spam ads anyways

inland tangle
#

it is literally cheaper to get your server out there now than it was previously in the short-term

lapis wolf
#

and its much more expensive to grow ur server now

#

ur not considering the long-term

#

the average player could have put out around 10 ads a day if they were committed

#

now they can only do that for 2 days

inland tangle
#

how does the long-term matter

#

you want people to know your server in 2 years rather than today?

lapis wolf
#

how doesnt it matter?

#

short term is working on the server

inland tangle
#

no

lapis wolf
#

long term is growing the server

inland tangle
#

lmao

lapis wolf
#

monthly ranks mean more money to spend for ads

inland tangle
#

🤔 did you actually read my message

#

'cause the monthly ranks cost less than the permanent ones do

lapis wolf
#

still means more money to spend

#

and its also 100x less ads

#

because people could have gotten around 10 ads a day without a rank earlier

little herald
#

you have 6 months to make a server successful

#

i would imagine its easier?

#

if you cant do anything in 6 months im pretty sure your server is failing

lapis wolf
#

thats literally only 120 ads though

little herald
#

?

#

patreon costs $100 a month

lapis wolf
#

with no rank

little herald
#

6 months is $600

lapis wolf
#

exactly

little herald
#

you get thousands of ads

inland tangle
#

that's 12,000 ads

little herald
#

with patreon

#

wdym

lapis wolf
#

exactly how minehut is p2w now

inland tangle
lapis wolf
#

do you think that someone trying to start a new server just has 600 laying around

inland tangle
#

creating a business in real life costs money

little herald
#

no, WHICH IS WHY ITS $100 TO START NOW

#

you dont need $600 upfront anymore

#

you just proved our point

#

lmao

inland tangle
#

you can't just wake up and say "i'm going to create the next Apple out of nowhere for absolutely free"

lapis wolf
#

if someone isnt willing to spend that much money (which is at least 50% of people) then they cant even do anything

little herald
#

it just aint gonna happen

inland tangle
#

there's a reason people need loans and stuff to start up companies

#

same thing for minehut servers

#

except we don't have the option of loans for obvious reasons

little herald
#

how much is legend again?

#

in dollars

lapis wolf
#

most of the actually good and creative servers get shunned out by the fact that people spend thousands to make their crappy box server get 100 players or smth

little herald
#

again, let me bring up the example of liable

#
  • unique
  • non p2w
  • grew their server with this update and the ad system in slots
#

your whole point is just not true

inland tangle
#

legend is 8000 credits / month

#

that's $50/60

#

depending on whether you subscribe or one-time

#

plus you'd have some left over

little herald
#

so $50 a month for around 30 ads a day, which isnt bad at all

inland tangle
#

and if you're going 6 months you'd presumably subscribe

lapis wolf
#

the majority of the community is not willing to spend that much money just for a server

#

spending 50$ on a brand new server is not profitable

little herald
#

if they werent, why were so many ranks bought before when they were like 10x more expensive?

lapis wolf
#

the only way that can be profitable is if the server was p2w af

little herald
#

my ikea server made like $60 in the first month it started

#

and i only advertised it with vip a few times

lapis wolf
#

also p2w is against the minecraft eula

little herald
#

ok?

little herald
#

they had 100 players on a day or so ago

lapis wolf
#

i tried to grow a lifesteal server with only vip

#

it had 6 players max after 2 months

little herald
lapis wolf
#

the average player cant grow a server anymore

#

average

little herald
#

?

lapis wolf
#

regular players who just want to make a server for people to enjoy without the costs cant grow a server now

inland tangle
#

let's not forget that most server hosts require money

#

you would have to do that growing with money regardless

#

but without minehut's community

lapis wolf
#

the fact that minehuts advertising system let new servers slightly compete against bigger servers more than now was nice

little herald
lapis wolf
#

you literally get much less ads than before

#

while bigger servers can easily just buy a few alts and have as many ads as they want

little herald
#

what

#

you do know those people put time effort and money into the server right

#

so them getting players annoys you?

inland tangle
#

i mean previously these big servers would still have their patron accounts advertising all the time

little herald
#

and you are mad that with you not paying anyone, with you getting servers completly for free, that you can't compete with peopel who are paying a lot of money?

inland tangle
#

the difference was that their ads were all infinite

lapis wolf
#

the fact that they can make other servers much more insignificant is the annoying part

little herald
#

if you have a bit of money, you can compete with bigger servers

lapis wolf
#

yknow

#

people make servers for fun

little herald
#

if you want to make the biggest server on minehut completely for free, that aint gonna happen

lapis wolf
#

not all for money

#

if someone wants to have a fun server with a good community then they literally have to do it with money

little herald
#

if all you want is a good community why are you trying to compete with the bigger servers

inland tangle
#

defaults having 4 ads a month is scuffed as hell but this other tangent youre going off on is completely wrong

lapis wolf
#

and people wont want to do that

little herald
#

defaults ads were too low

#

but yeah this update itself is ok

lapis wolf
#

people dont want monthly ads

#

there was nothing wrong with the old system

inland tangle
#

he says, being one person

#

there was a lot actually

#

these big servers had permanent patron ranks with the lowest cooldowns that could ad infinitely

lapis wolf
inland tangle
#

does not that seem more unfair

inland tangle
lapis wolf
little herald
inland tangle
#

the thread name is worse than the argument itself imo

never mind its 12000

inland tangle

and that's just rn

lapis wolf
little herald
#

that is 0.8% of mh community (including only online players, probably even smaller if considering total community)

little herald
inland tangle
#

if you're grasping for reactions now that's a bit desperate don't you think

lapis wolf
#

theres still 11900 other people who havent reacted

little herald
#

even people who like this update

lapis wolf
#

about 70

little herald
#

thats 77 people

#

even lower

lapis wolf
#

and?

little herald
#

and what

inland tangle
#

is the update perfect? no. is monthly ads a bad system? no.

lapis wolf
#

counting the amount of people in this thread doesnt mean anything

little herald
lapis wolf
little herald
#

theres around like 120k people in minehuts discord right?

so lets say half of them are active

60k

you know what even half of that

30k

#

you know what even half of that

#

15k

hard zodiac

not even 10% are active

alright then 10%

12000

inland tangle

10% is literally the amount of people online right now

little herald

💀

inland tangle
#

to be fair you couldnt have picked a worse percentage

hard zodiac
#

general chat can be dead for 1 hour straight

inland tangle
#

not during these times it can't

little herald
#

even with 10% thats 0.8% of mh community

#

and thats just discord

lapis wolf
lapis wolf
#

its not like they need to poll all 8b of them to get accurate results

inland tangle
#

then don't speak for everyone if you aren't going to hear everyone

little herald
#

exactly

lapis wolf
#

just because a small amount of the community cares about this argument doesnt mean they dont have an opinion

inland tangle
#

we've lost sight of what this thread was ever gonna be about

little herald
#

yeah

#

this thread itself started off bad

inland tangle
#

this is the rabbit hole

little herald
#

just against p2w not even against the actual update

hard zodiac
#

can someone log into minehut and see if they fixed the offline message error

inland tangle
#

what is the offline message error

#

the message that appears if someone's offline?

hard zodiac
#

do message trent

inland tangle
#

trent doesn't work at minehut anymore

hard zodiac

ive reported it today

# inland tangle reverting is a horrible solution

why so? it has zero benefit for the consumer, which is ultimately the reason I have been campaigning against this change--with the additions of the subscription model and removal of the features of old ranks, holders of formerly useful ranks on minehut lost their monetary value in the rank as a one-time purchase for absolutely nothing in return. also the ranks were often priced at hundreds of dollars in their cost; none of that value was ever refunded in the maintenance of privileges for old ranks.

shrewd robin
# inland tangle we've lost sight of what this thread was ever gonna be about

'we'? byteskript was the person who initially began making comments about what portion of the community care for this change. to state that 'we' are discussing irrelevant information is perhaps the greatest contradiction in this thread. also as I have stated before you can't group people in thread together when we have been discussing individual interpretations and solutions to this problem.

wet sinew

Minehut will survive when it's 99% box, gen or skymining but it's just a sad reality

There's a server called diamondfire that showcases what minehut could be if it wasn't driven by money

wet sinew
# inland tangle reverting is a horrible solution

I think it's always possible to revert yes the first few days of the ranks update being reverted people will be pissed but then people will become accustomed to it. Minehut will regain their respect back from being self aware that they made a bad change

inland tangle
#

If Minehut never makes a mistake they will never learn from it

wet sinew
inland tangle
#

By.. completely going the other way and being a laughing stock for the community? That they held this update for a month and then decided to randomly change it back?

#

What about the people who currently have subscriptions

#

It's literally the same situation as before with the permanent ranks: they paid.

wet sinew
inland tangle
#

that's literally the same-

#

i don't know why i still try

wet sinew
#

Or they could give people some special type of rank who payed for a monthly ad sub idk

#

That special rank would only be temporary because the monthly sub is temporary

they'd have to rewrite their entire login system

they could keep it the same and just expand on it; yes; but that would just be delaying them eventually fixing the old code

So we're going to be automatically sending refunds to anyone who purchased a rank in the past 5 months. Anyone who purchased a rank in the past 30 days will get 100% refund, anyone in the past 60 days a 80% refund, and so on.
