I'm writing this up to adress the issue of stolen items due to glitching and those items not being returned. I'm going to be as polite and respectful as I can, because trust me I have nothing but respect for Kainzo and all those who spend hours making this server the best Minecraft server out there.
I know many have complained about it, and the issue has been brushed aside, but I really do think this is an issue that is causing harm to the server. I know @Kainzo will say he is not returning items, no matter what, that if you return one person's items then everyone will be wanting them back. I say they should be returned, all of them, if they were stolen due to glitching. It would take a lot of man power to do that, but you have many, including myself, willing to step up and do just that.
I've known veteran players who have quit because of this issue, and a massive number who feel, like I do, that it's unfair that stolen items due to glitching are not returned. I have seen some leave because of it, ones I think the server is a better place because they are here.
WorldGuard is not perfect, obviously, and people can get into regioned areas, but the fact is that the victims of glitching are being punished as well. If there werent cheaters on the server then items in regioned areas would be protected completely, why should cheaters be allowed to change how we play the game? Why should cheaters be allowed to fuck over an entire town by stealing what they spent hours, days, or weeks collecting?
We're careful, we use doors, we place blocks in door ways, we use LWC'd doors. We build towns, collect items, and strive towards a town or personal region. And when we do finally earn a region, you're telling us it's useless. What other purpose is a region then to protect yourself and items? You already protect us from griefing, without need of a region, so what else is there?
When something like this happens to a person, or a town, it sets you back hours, days. It's like erasing all the work we've put into a server that we love, and it makes even the most die hard HeroCraft Vets think about leaving the server. Even a Hardcore server should protect it's users against cheaters.
Anyways, my thoughts are a mess, nothing above is really a complete thought, but I think you get the idea. The issue is real. If anyone reading got this far, tell me your opinion. Should the rule of 'No refunds no matter what' be changed, or should it stay? Use your IGN so I can add you to the list!
