Bitter, Minestatus doesn't keep the server alive, it supports and gives us players, if we vote, we shouldn't get cool in game stuff, voting is to vote because the server is good, not for a stupid thing like xp gain.
Now the problem I see with anything currently is, well Herocraft will be unbalanced no matter what, After releasing, Kainzo allowed anyone to level, and a lot of people did, now the new players have a way harder chance, and there is no way to fix it, the only way would be reset everyone, and that would probably need a map reset to if that were to happen, and no one wants that. ( Not even me! :O ) Or go back to the old exp. which wont happen because Kainzo wants people to work for their level 50 heroes.
Server veterans ( played for more then 3 months ) - Winners! They are already level 50 in like 3 specs!
Players just starting - Get butt fucked by a spider, rage quit, come back 3 weeks later, get use to the server, master a PvP spec, rage quit again because they don't want to grind for 50000 hours.
Kainzo, don't you want use NOT to grind correct? You want use to go out at night and kill mobs, as I am not mistaken, or go to the training area or whatever its called. Now, if you make mobs as hard as they are, no one will want to do that. You are encouraging the use of exploited mob spawners, even if you don't mean to, or want to. People will take the easy way, not the way the owners wants them to. That is why so many people cheat.
