Tell me-- Is anyone else complaining?

I hated this one guy who kept going into my laboratory and griefing my Redstone with ice by breaking it. And like bantam said, why not use a bucket? And are you really going to leave just because trusted annoy pick up ice? Just saying, less restrictive servers have a lot of grief in them.
FNVcourierjon(SigilStone):
Yea that's petty that you're leaving because of that.
SalsaInABowl:
Well maybe Trusted could have ice. I mean, we have buckets, so why not? (The dude trolling me was a member)

Sorry I don't mean to be negative or petty, but ice is very useful for making mob/farm systems, and other cool stuff, and it stacks so if you have to place a lot of water then using a bucket is a real pain. I didn't say I was leaving, just that looking into other servers crossed my mind. I never have grief issues, because I always use protection stones on stuff I care about, and enclose it so no one can flow water into them anyway. Ice is a very cool and useful game dynamic for people who like to build mechanisms. IMHO if you don't enclose your stuff and use a PS then you run the risk of being griefed. If a non-trusted has gotten a silk touch pick through enchanting then either they have been playing for a long time, and it's getting to be about time that they should be trusted, or they'll do something dumb any way (if they haven't already) and get banned. Obviously there is a balance that needs to be set between anti-grief measures and preserving the original game mechanics.
I just wanted to bring this up to see if other people missed this game dynamic as much as I do, because, if they do, then maybe we can get this fixed for trusted ppl. The point of the post was not to bitch and whine, but to gauge interest in this from the community. If many ppl feel like I do, it will be useful for ops/admins/mods/etc to know so that they can look into a fix. If no one else cares, then it will never get changed and I need to determine how much I miss this (and other) game mechanics, to decide what I will do. I just wanted to gauge interest, not criticize anyone or whine.
