Builder Ranks -Creative

I agree with loaf here, but i dont think that the only thing that makes players leave here is the inability to gain ranks quickly. Sure, making it easier to achieve a rank here binds those players more to us, however i think it's also the fact that they cant tpa, and the fact that they cant place water, and the fact that they cant place redstone. It's just too much on some point. Of cause i am not suggesting that we should just give those things to guests, however we can bind the voting mechanism to tpa access which removes that problem and also gives us votes (which opti isn't really getting quickly either).

As a player of Opticraft since 2011, I have a lot of experience with ranks on all 3 Opticraft servers (Classic, SMP, and Creative.) I've lost ranks, I've gained ranks, and I've stayed the same rank for months, years. This server is definitely not about ranks. If anything, as Loaf said, it should be about feeling like you've been a part of a family. Although ranks are there, people should be building to have fun, not to gain something.

Players usually stay for the community, building is always just a plus side. If someone stays for the community, they're obviously going to find something else to pass the time, for example: building, being an operator, the list goes on and on. Yes, some people like to stay for the building factor, but their world should not revolve around that. Rejection is an inevitable force in life, it's always going to be a thing. Yes, a lot of people get rejected for recruit and builder - but every operator has different standards. My standards aren't going to be the same as someone as good as building like Loaf. It just doesn't work like that.

As for redstone - our server is not as advanced as others. Some people are very, very good at redstone, and some contraptions may cause players on our server or our entire server to lag. If a server is lagging, that is also going to push players to leave.
As for water - we have guests who come on our server purely to grief. If water is given to guests, griefers would use that to grief also. In my opinion, saying "Players cannot place water until recruit rank" and placing water for players is much easier than having to clean up a world that is full with a mix of grief and water.
If anything, we should add TPA for any rank to use, instead of having them donate for it.

The point of this post is to say, our server isn't supposed to be based on ranks only. Make friends, friends that you can be yourself with and not have to care about being judged. Make them your family. That's where all the fun really is.

I don't see this "problem" that people keep discussing.  Play and enjoy yourself.  You are making an issue out of nothing
