    video correction: the guy that spent $2500 didn't beat us, as he used an inefficient farm afaik. What made us leave were things they added slowly. Now the server is so dead it isn't even worth my time to dupe on.

    Honestly, a class-action lawsuit against Minecraft for not enforcing their EULA, initiated by parents affected by those servers and by other people funded through crowdfunding, is much more likely to get Microsoft to enforce the EULA, than duping. But the movement needed to grow to this point for such a thing to be even remotely possible.

      1. Cracked minecraft server software with all hidden telemetry removed and their own skin server (now neither mojang nor microshit can even detect the server, you can stick it behind a VPN for additional lulz at making it harder to find the physical location of the server, there are VPN's who even if tortured, has precautions in place to wipe absolutely everything, and some of these providers also dgaf about criminal activity if you look hard enough, you will find them).
      2. Cracked minecraft client with all hidden telemetry removed, and perhaps also malware and trojans added in to harvest data.
      3. ????
      4. PROFIT111!!!111oneleven
      This is a stupid suggestion, it's better than this is done in the dark if the intention is to keep track of p2w servers. If you make them go dark, there's nothing you can do and you expose children to additional security risks as they won't think twice about downloading a cracked minecraft client to continue accessing their ill gotten gains.
      There's a reason why Microshit does not make much fuss about it. The secret to nailing EULA violators is to be subtle about it. I'd bet there's plenty of big fishes who get nailed in secret and in closed courts.
      It's also still a whiny topic, and notch with his massive big brain but absolutely shit social skills fucked it up hugely last time. It's better to aim for the big fish only and not bring the issue up. With only the occasional "make a example of them" outing by Mojang or Microsoft to remind people that the EULA is a thing.
      I'd like to remind you also that parenting is still a thing (hopefully married unlike the feminist degenerate hellhole this earth is right now), I have zero sympathy and empathy for parents who's kid can just waltz up to their parents wallet, grab the card and just enter it's details. Proactive parenting is far better than reactive parenting and parents who plop their kids infront of a TV or computer willy nilly for longer periods of times deserves to be branded with a hot iron poker.

    to be honest I think Mojang should change the EULA to allow them to charge servers that did not comply (after blacklisting them of course). Who would make a p2w server if Mojang could just take all the money the players gave you and blacklist the server. Mojang could use that money to make Realms cheaper or make other Mojang-hosted server options with more flexibility than Realms which is exclusively vanilla on the latest update.

    It's totally acceptable to have paid products on a server, whole games functioning like that, like League of Legends for example, or Warface.
    There is no harm in a server owner wanting to make a profit, after all, he needs money to pay the servers, and also his time and dedication, then being a server owner becomes a job.
    It only starts to be bad when it gets abusive, the player is forced to put money in to have a chance at the game, or gain absurd advantages over those who don't pay.

    I remember how a server I used to play on handled the EULA issues. Instead of directly allowing the purchase of items, they allowed people to buy cosmetic crate keys. Gave no advantage. Purely cosmetic. Of course you could exchange those keys for ingame points. Those points could then be used to purchase items.
    They switched from “ranks” to “titles”. I think, or something similar. I think this was just to avoid the aspect of a increasing level of superiority (from the outside). It was the same thing, just that they phrased it as people “donating” and as a “token of gratitude” there were items given.
    The owners then took an even worse approach. They had donation tiers with almost nothing on the surface to show for - except monthly discord calls. Some of these tiers had people donating hundreds of dollars a month. The issue was the ulterior motive behind donating. Now if someone is donating hundreds a month, you’d want to keep them happy and around to continue their donations. That’s the problem right there. The more people donated, the more leeway they got with the admins. Ban reversals, claims getting transferred, OP items given out, looking the other way when players were duping those OP items (to then sell for IRL $), etc. Players became untouchable.
    Safe to say the server went to downhill. The owners went from pulling in millions of views (and plenty of Ad revenue) a month to barely a 100k views.

    Im glad that you mentioned the P2W movement not being perfect, at some point. Horizon raided a server which was barely even pay to win (it was a semi way to win) and that got me really upset. Because that used to be a server i really liked. People raided the server for irrational reasons and Horizon took no responsabilitty for what he did to a innocent server (it isnt even pay to win anymore, as if it was pay to win to begin with). Anyways I am still somewhat mad at what he did when this is brought up, while i dont support p2w. I dont support the way anti p2w took this either.

    I never liked massive servers, I've always preferred finding smaller servers with actual communities of people that play together.
    The most fun I had in minecraft was hosting a server for a really slow board on 4chan, and the funniest thing is, the community that cropped up there was actually one of the most enjoyable communities I've had the pleasure to be a part of, we didn't even need anti-grief plugins for the longest time and I'm pretty sure to this day I've never had to ban anyone.
    I never made any money off it, but I sure as hell made a lot of memories.
