Grand Theft Minecraft

I have been playing this server for many years. In the older times of GTM it was very fun and with a player range of 100 or so it was enough to pvp but not over crowded. In the later times when legacy was shut down this new “Gtm 2” was very popular and a year later had around 1000 players but later in the years that died down and is now back to 100 or so. Currently there still is only about 100 players or so and not gaining anymore. New players don’t want to stay because they feel unwelcome and instantly leave because they get killed by op items and do not have a chance to get items and rank up or do anything really. And old players don’t come back because they are either false banned, got bored or don’t want to play anymore.

To me I think these are some of the reasonings for these things:
Staff Abuse/Unprofessional
AntiCheat (Broken)
Lag
Players Toxic/Farm new players
Unban/Appeals
Store P2W
Discord Assistance/Blocking

on jah?

 

Staff abuse -> You just following the hype of people calling staff out. Complete bullshit.
Anticheat -> Was recently completely redone, and became great.
Lag -> Has been an issue during the 1k times as well.
Players toxic -> Has been like that forever.
Unban/appeals -> Nothing wrong with it
Store P2W -> It is very possible to get into the top 10 richest players without purchasing a single thing. we have donor deals for a reason.
Discord -> ?

 

I’m unsure of why Jay is being called clueless. He’s right in every regard. Since you clearly don’t understand him, I’ll clarify for you,

Staff Abuse / Unprofessionalism: Staff are given the responsibility to enforce the rules and help players. If they do something wrong or incorrect the feel free to make a “Staff Report” to the regarded “abuser” with proof.

Anticheat: Gary, the new addition to GTM in terms of an anti cheat, has reduced the amount of hackers, VPN Users, and Ban Evaders by a significant amount. This also is allowing staff to catch hackers much faster and make GTM a more fair and fun environment. If this means less players because the hackers are banned, then that is how it will be until players learn to follow the rules.

I’m unsure how the Anticheat is causing so much “lag” on the server. It is probably just your internet or location in respect to the server host. I have personally never experienced such “lag” due to the addition of this (amazing) anticheat.

Lag: This can sometimes be the server, but as Jay said it’s always been here. Creating a lag free environment would be extremely hard. It’s understandable that GTM May lag more than other servers at times, but this is dealt with as quickly as possible. It may also be, as stated above, a “you” problem, rather than a “GTM” problem.

Toxicity / Farming new players: There is a reason noob protection is a thing. This allows players to play with no worries of being instantly killed until they partially learn the map. If you believe this should be increased, feel free to make the suggestion. You cannot completely stop players from farming, as it’s their choice and there’s no rule against it. Encouraging others to not farm or helping newer players is the best route you can take to this.

Toxicity has always been allowed, it’s part of the GTM experience at this point. The best you can do is accept the rules put in place to help slow it down (Such as the rule against Racism / Discrimination).

Unbans / Appeals: These are put in place to keep information private out of respect and integrity for the players. This is one of many ways staff is professional towards their players, and is why talking of punishments publicly is not allowed.

Store / Pay 2 Win: There is nothing in the store, such as a one shot melee weapon, which would ruin the game. Everything in the store can be achieved through crates or donor deals as well. The only thing the store does is give immediate benefits and take away from the time someone would have to put in to earn items such ranks or crowbars.

Discord Assistance / Blocking: If you do something to make a staff member block you, that is your fault and something you most likely caused. There’s not much that can be done besides your best efforts to have that staff member unblock you. Granted, this can be annoying as the staff member not being able to help you is not ideal, however there is nothing one can do about it.

I personally, along with multiple other staff members, do our best to help out in the support channels, voice channels, and in DMs. If you are not helped immediately or at all, feel free to ask (not spam) again. A staff member or someone willing to help might not be readily available 24/7, all that is asked for is some patience during these times.

As for your other concerns, players can appeal for such “false bans” and should have no problem being unbanned if it was truly incorrect. Things are always being added and achieved, even if they are not always seen or liked. Some additions take more time than expected or wanted due to only having one developer, and only so many helping hands.

Lastly, dying and grinding your way up the ranks is part of any game. You have to deal with this (or you can earn ranks/use the store to your advantage) in order to become the best.

I really do hope this helps, if you could tell I put some time into this. There’s enough information to answer 99% of your questions or concerns. If anything is missing feel free to ask.

 

Ok so first of all Staff. Many players are banned for no fucking reason because staff have 0 patience.
The anti cheat is an increase in bans yes, I completely agree with that but also an increase in false punishments. lag, I think the lag is because of the server host and the new additions/updates.
P2W some of the cheat codes are unfair such as the sneaky cheat code.

 

If you read my message, which I put time into to lessen the amount of questions, all of these would be answered. I suggest taking the time to reply to the response before taking the easy way out and just looking at Die’s response. My response obviously goes much more in depth, it’s your choice to read it, but it includes answers to all of those questions.

 

My man I wrote this reply in 5 minutes I didn’t have time to answer your chapter book.

 

You wonder why you are banned because you talk back to my staff members. This thread is now locked.
