I know that I won't be taken seriously, I know how this server works. You have to either be in a club or group of well known people or be a staff member to be taken seriously. And to be honest that's why I'm not expecting what I want people to know from this post. I want people to know that this server didn't used to be this way. To be honest, I don't know what happened. After EULA made it's appearance clear this server appeared to shift gears from being the best server to play on to really care mainly about money and popularity, which I'd imagine could be link to more money. This kind of makes me sad because for one I've played on the server for 1 year this July, and I am extremely loyal to it (spent 80 dollars of my money, in fact, saved up for a MONTH to get a sponsor) and's it's kind of been hard to see Minevast attempt to turn into the next Mineplex or Hypixel. I don't know if this is the case for most people but I started playing Minevast because it was the OPPOSITE of those servers. You've got those servers, swarmed with people, advertisements everywhere, hackers almighty in survival games, and what do they do? Shrug it off and let their watchdog security accuse or falsely accuse people of flying. I mean, what do they care, it's the money that matters. Basically what I'm saying is I hope Minevast doesn't turn into that, and I'm sure I'm speaking for at least a few people who have witnessed these changes. For a timeline, as I stated before, this all started around the time the EULA made it's ominous appearance. That's when Minevast did the first thing that not only surprised me but sorta saddened me. They made ranks only available for purchase by server, each sponsor being $100 per server. Why would Minevast do that? The server that cares about giving it's players the best experience, why would they do that. The answer came to me. It's obviously money. Most ranks for EACH SERVER remain as much as they were for EVERY SERVER (sponsor and vast being the only cheaper ones, unfortunately). Now I would understand if they were doing that for survival and barebones, I understand, those weren't around when ranks were originally introduced, but every server, why? Well, money I guess. I tried to shrug this off. I really didn't want to see the server get like this, but it did. Next thing you know, you've got them adding boosters, custom titles, misc, and even a donation section, which people might consider if you didn't have ALL these other options to make money (oh, and will make money). Last thingI'm going to talk about is the reminders ever 5 minutes or so (yeah, actually about 5 or so minutes) reminding you to vote. Come on Minevast, that isn't you. That's the BS you see on Mineplex and Hive and crap that makes so many people hate those servers. If you're in for just the money and popularity at this point, fine, not my server to run. I'm just saying, hell yeah Mineplex gets a lot of people, but more people will get ranks when 1: They have a lot of fun, 2: They aren't forced into it. Same deal with voting. This is among the reasons why you see less people on Hypixel have ranks than you do on Minevast. I know that we don't want that to change. However, if you still care about letting your players have fun, I'm in it with you.
By the way guys I really do hate to post something like this, but I figure anything that might comprehensibly be able to help might be better than losing my favorite server to the viral side. I don't expect you to have read through all of that, but if you did, thank you, and I hope you can understand my point. Thank you.
