    Hey, Mineverse! Today I'm coming with a thread that is being posted for no reason other than to try and improve the server/community. Before you get into disliking what I say, etc., I'm clarifying that I am not hating on the server. I'm simply giving a list of some things that I personally believe would make the server better, if changed. Some of these ideas were taken by @WolfBane , but I've worded them differently.

    If you haven't noticed, MV's player count nowadays is not as high as it's been in the past. Members have left for multiple reasons. These things are (in my opinion) easy fixes. Without a doubt, the server's population could begin to grow at a faster speed than ever before.

    Some problems I'd like to address:

    - A lack of organization
    Most servers nowadays have many different ranks on the staff team. Mineverse has moderators, [one] admin, builders, and then one owner/co-owner. I think that if the staff team was expanded (including more staff members and more ranks) then this would ultimately help gain more members.

    - A lack of server protection
    Hack protection
    Advert protection
    Spam protection

    These three things listed above are prevented on Mineverse, but not thoroughly. There needs to be better protection against hackers, advertisers, spammers. What little protection that there is, can be easily bypassed.

    - Many unattended glitches
    There are many glitches on MV that need to be fixed. There should be no way of buying a TNT cannon in Skywars and blowing islands up before the game has even begun. Of course every single server will have its bugs and glitches, but the ones that are commonly used, they need to be attended to.

    - An abundance of server crashes
    Almost every server on MV crashes a few times daily. This can be a pretty tricky thing to fix, but it is a huge issue.

    - A lack of owner communication with the community
    Many (good) suggestions come about all the time, yet they're not considered often. I understand that the owners get hundreds of alerts daily, but sometimes things do need to be replied to and considered. There's no guarantee that something you suggest will even be viewed. I'm aware that sometimes the owners (Cyp and Noob) do view things without regular members knowing, but again, this leads to a lack of communication.

    - An abundance of "pay to win" gameplay
    Despite the EULA, Mineverse has a very big "pay to win" type of community. If you're not a rank, you stand almost no chance against a Titan on basically any game. The only way you can get in-game currency is through being payed, voting, or paying real money. I don't think that there should be no benefits or ranks after paying, but I do think that there should be more opportunities for those who simply cannot spend real money on a video game.

    - A lack of originality
    Finally, I think that Mineverse has a huge lack of originality. Every server has the typical games, yes, but a lot of them have their own games with a twist to them. Sure, MV is unique in a few ways, but there needs to be more originality on the server itself.

    - RP in creative
    Alright, yes RP can be fun, but that's basically all that creative is. Sex clubs, bars, etc. We enforce rules on excessive swearing, so why not enforce rules on excessive sexual content? Some things are taken too far on creative. My solution to this problem is doing what many servers have already done; ban RP unless it's through PM via /msg.

    Thank you for reading this whole thing. Again, this is not to hate on the server. This is just something I want to have opinions on, because I'm sure a few of you agree with some points that have been made. Let me know what you think!

    I agree with the 'Pay To Win' part.

    You can add an abundance of ungrateful community members to the list as well. These people know who they are, and what they do.

    I completely agree. Unfortunately, we can't really get rid of them, considering it's how 50% of people in this world are. :P

    You know what the higher ups told me long after I made my widely support suggestion thread relating to the staff team?

    "It's not going to happen."

    They were sure right, lol.
