What is your current issue?

(Rates agree) Try not to use colored and big letter for the whole thing.

 

Players seem to just apply for staff now to get the benefits of being a staff member, I don't feel some of our staff members genuinely want to help Brawl grow and thrive.

 

Arnt we allowed to state our issues here? Joey being banned is one of my issues!

Nice pet putty

 

Then leave the post here and do not continue further discussion on it.
You are to leave your issue here, and then let them see it and leave.

 

I honestly Don't see much of a problem with pvp Survival.
But there are...

• Hackers,
• Xrayers...
• mods.

Hackers. We all have seen a hacker at least once in our minecraft life. about 50% of us have been killed by one of them as well. Its a unfair advantage. along with what @bassmaster6 said, Most people i have killed, Not pointing any fingers here, Don't drop any soup. or there hitting you when there not looking at you....
What i have seen (On different servers and sometimes here, not saying all the time this is 100% true but my point still applies here) is that a hacker, Becomes best friends with a mod. When/if there are cought they will simply go to there new buddy and expect them to bail them out.

Xray. Good for mining diamonds, gold, iron, any other ore you can possibly find! But, a VERY unfair advantage. You can be tracked at times I understand that. but when there is a hole going right down from one exact block well.... Its not too well hidden. with "chest finders" it simpily highlights a block around you and you will find what your looking for. That easy. I had a vault that i Never went to, and i come on one day and, oh look there is a tunnel digging right to it... really? xray much?

Mods. There friendly kind loving people, but i have seen multiple times a player spamming, or making vulgar pots in chat when the mods are on and active. I understand its fun to play the game and have fun, but you applied for this. least thing you can do is do your jobs.

 

Saw this thread, thought I would leave a few last words before my activity drops into a black hole.

WarZ staff not doing their jobs is the root of the problem. This is not true for all the WarZ staff, I know the ones not a part of Team Holy generally do their jobs well. But the Team Holy mods, not so much. I have repeatedly heard people complaining about them not being helpful, sitting in a single teamspeak channel and/or server for hours, and just generally not doing their jobs. Moderating always comes before playing. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to have some fun, but moderating is still more important. If that means you have to lose some digital items to help a player, you do it. That's exactly the **** you signed up for as a moderator. If you don't like what's expected you can post a resignation.

WarZ staff have also been breaking the rules. If you haven't read the "Tping up ladders (rant)" thread, basically they've been using a lag glitch where if you teleport to a player while on a ladder it takes a moment for the teleporting player to render. The excuse "everyone else has been doing it forever" has come up. You also can't really prove someone is using it intentionally, and therefore you can't get banned for it. Neither is a valid excuse for breaking the rules. Just because the Police aren't going to pull you over for going 1 mph over the speed limit, it doesn't make it legal. It wasn't meant to be in the game, and therefore you shouldn't use it to your advantage, even if everyone else does it. The mods are supposed to be setting a good example, not following the herd.

When we've called the WarZ mods out for doing this, even if it's polite, we've been told we're flaming. All I've ever wanted to do is make the community a better place, and by doing so, I'm the bad guy. Constructive criticism towards mods is now "aggressive," --

-- you can get banned for simply disagreeing with staff, and threads are deleted based on the assumption that flame could happen. Since when are whole threads deleted for this reason? Threads shouldn't even be locked let alone deleted based purely on assumption. Tdaddy14 has posted a number of outros (all deleted), and one in particular contained a flame war (one of many instigated by Teh_Kitty). Signatured removed all the flameful posts, but did not delete the thread. The next morning, the thread was gone, even after the flame was removed. Suppressing our opinions does not make the community's opinion of you any better.

Brawl is not the place it used to be. I used to come here every day, the community was great, the servers were great. I was addicted (to the point where it probably wasn't healthy). Over time, the community has deteriorated. Many of my friends here have left, and most of the people who made this community the jewel it was have left. They have been replaced with ragers, flamers, and others like this. There is a growing number of staff members who have little to no desire to improve the community at all, a couple are even former DDOSers (which tells me bias has infiltrated the Admin team). It is depressing for me to see this community, which I have been a part of for over a year and helped build up, fall into ruin like this.

I hope this place changes for the better after I'm gone, if not, well, I guess it doesn't matter to me anyway.

 

I have enough problems of my own atm, but I would like to see the staff do their job, and change their point of view to inside a no-name white-name player. At least for a day. I think they would find it quite humbling. Maybe even make a day at least once a month where everyone has the same abilities whether you are a donor or not.

I might start a WarZ series of "Life of a white name" and show what it is like being a non-donor unable to have enough money nor a team. (You need donor for a good team) take a step back and know that no names are players as well, just not as fortunate as others to be able to spend the money.

 

Man I agree with you all...

 

Leaving us without information. Threads getting deleted, people getting banned... The list goes on. After these things happen, we are left with no information. Leaving us without information is making this community worse, and causing backfire and more rants. If someone gets banned, tell us the reason so we don't do these things?

The staff. I am not going to be making a huge rant about their performances as staff, but can you please be a little more strict to them? Thanks.

 

All these problems with the STAFF is just pitiful. I mean like there STAFF members. staff members arent supposed to be break rules, hack on alts, not care about rule breakers, abuse glitches, abuse OOMs, etc.
If they do any of these things then they should NOT be a staff member whatsoever.

 

I will post one thing here, only.
The motivations for being staff are extremely different. It's taken a turn for the worse.
Back when a lot of the veterans, including me applied, it was to help the server and the players. Now it just seems to be for the free ranks and protection from things that would normally get you banned, as well as power to abuse.
I understand that staff would naturally want to defend each other. You're working with each other, you become friends, you want to defend friends. But it's really gone too far at this point. While corrupted moderators are still staff, pure and true moderators are demoted.
The moderator rank should be for players who are well favored with the community, and are up for the job. If the community hates said staff member, I do not believe they should be allowed to continue to hold the position of moderator.

The servers are quite hard to get into and are unfair, but I won't get into that. I believe the issue I have put above is the issue that is affecting McBrawl the most.

 

This.

Is probably the best thing I read on this thread.

 

Very well said, if you ask me, moderators should not recive free ranks, I believe the is one of the main issues if not the main issue with the staff, I bet most people these days get mod only for the free ranks

 

Most of the people want the old McBrawl back, what they don't realize they shaped the past as well.

 

What about this-

If this could solve the Staff Problem.

Ask every single one of the mods a question- Do you, or do you not want to moderate (Or something like, "Did you apply for mod to get A rank, or to moderate?") And then, inform them that they get free MVP for a month or something, or life, I don't care. Life might actually be the better choice, and that will make them actually tell the truth, because they're keeping the rank either way.

I don't know, Its just a suggestion and Im tired.


Anyways, my problem is the Staff. The god damn, mother ****ing, *****y staff. I can't handle it anymore. I've been keeping it in for so long, to the point where it is unhealthy.
THE STAFF, I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY AND ACTUALLY NOT BE TOGETHER FOR A DAY. NO TS TOGETHER, NO SERVERS TOGETHER. IF YOU CAN'T DO THIS FOR A DAY, YOU DON'T DESERVE MOD. I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT FOR A WEEK, MAYBE EVEN A MONTH.


And to luckypop who said "You can't split up a team"
You're right. But we just want you to actually moderate, and every once in a while you can actually be USEFUL to the server.



Sorry for the harsh tone, Im in a ****ty mood.

 

Says the one who hasn't even been in public channels.

Anyway, I don't like alternate account accusations between our staff, bans are a concern and also, our staff's "quality" has become a "quantity".

 

Do NOT reply to other comments, things like this start flame wars.

 

1. Remove the free MVP for staff members. This is the root of the problem: free and infinite access to TPs and echests. Remove this and I bet most warz mods will either resign and buy MVP or actually DO THEIR JOBS and moderate but they need to buy their own MVP is they want it
2. Multiple mods allowed in 1 ts3 room for a max of ten minutes per hour, other then that, 1 mod per room.
3. 1 mod per server, multiple mods allowed on 1 server for a max of 10 minutes per hour

This will solve a HUGE problem with the staff

 

You forgot @ehvahn .-.
