    To recap on what everyone has said as this has stranded far off from the original topic:
    Sheriff does not give the power to telephone anywhere. Apparently, Serine is the Sheriff in question, and he has the ELITE Donator rank. This gives him permission to telephone, and also, any player can accept teleportation requests. A Sheriff can call another sheriff for backup, that's not breaking any sort of rule

    If you had a rank, you would see that it really is a fun experience. :V
    You can get ranks without buying them. :V Just earn it by reporting hackers and voting. Sure that'll take some hard work, but if you can't afford it, then why not give that a shot.

    Now as I see in the responses, I probably didn't say my complaint correctly. To put this into the right words, I just think TPA should be restricted / disabled while the one who can accepted the tpa is in combat. To any staff members reading this post, Please help me understand why this should stand, and if this should even be restricted for sheriffs AND players who are both in combat.

    Edit: Yes @RyanO2, The sheriff hasn't broken any rules and I should had said this more clearly. When my friends and I were in combat with one of the sheriff's, The sheriff accepted a tpa granting him back up. I just think that sheriffs should not be able to accept tpa's while in combat. This should go for players to.

    I think combat tp's shouldn't be a thing. It's quite annoying when you're fighting an Elite and poof! Hes gone ( I did that quite a lot of times :stuck_out_tongue: )

    Yes, very fun first battle I've had that wasn't against BOTW. Hope to challenge you guys again :smile:.

    Though if the ability for tpa was disabled for sheriffs that bought a rank, what would the rank then supply them. If it is 1 sheriff against 2+ people he/she does have the right to teleport other sheriffs in for support/ backup. If you look at BOTW and other large sized teams, one sheriff cannot take out that many people single handedly. Also tp time is 30 minutes for VIP, 20 minutes for MVP, and 10 minutes for Elite. Most of the time sheriffs if they have a server rank, are waiting on tp timers so it is not like it is a huge problem. There are ranks for a reason, to give people the ability to teleport that is pretty much the only gain for a server rank when your a sheriff.

    It is only fun because it is an exclusive feature. It really is not fun for anyone who doesn't have it, because it truly ruins the game. It takes a person who doesn't have the ability to molecularly teleport around the map to realize that it ruins the game. Anyone who has access to this will not have a biased view and will obviously want the feature to remain in the game since they have it and others do not

    Well, my rank isn't a permanent one. A friend gave me it, and I don't plan on buying another one after it expires. I'm perfectly fine with it staying after my rank runs out. :V I'm willing to put the happiness of people who support the server over my own in this case because the fact that they can tp isn't a big deal. It's not like WarZ where people can tp super frequently. It has an 8 minute cooldown for the most expensive rank. All it does is get someone somewhere quicker, and people can already travel in gangs together normally.

    How can you support this when your signature is a post about how brawl isn't abiding by the EULA? I am deeply confused.

    To me, I don't see the point of complaining about the game being less realistic about being able to teleport. If we're going to talk about how that's ruining the spirit of the game, why aren't we talking about navigators? Since when did people of the wild west have a compass that told them where to go for certain areas? Why not use some maps instead and memorize where all towns are, that'd be more realistic. How about increasing the distance between towns? In proportion to minecraft characters and the blocks there is no way that a town would be located so close to another one. How about the teams? Why are you able to choose to do damage and not to do damage to one another because you simply are in a team? How about safe zones in towns? Last time I checked in the real wild west, if someone decided "Hey, I feel like shooting that guy in particular" they'd be allowed to without being stopped by some magical no fighting magic. My point is, I feel as if you're complaining about something stupid and you can actually afford the Vip rank which lets you teleport every 30minutes for only $6. Honestly if you can't afford to donate $6 for a rank, how can you afford to pay for the electricity bill while you're playing MineCraft?
    Sorry if I offended you with this, that was not my intention. Only sharing my opinion/views on the topic at matter.

    Guys please lets stay on the topic, I just would like to get a solid answer on this issue. I am in favor for TPA to stay, but while ones in combat. It should be restricted.

    Here's the hopefully last reply to this. Sheriff's aren't always staff, therefore abide by the SAME rules you do. I myself have been a sheriff, a white name, a regular player. If a sheriff teleported another player and arrested me. I would get upset, BUT they PAID for that just like most people with ranks did... So if you took it away, why be a sheriff at all. A lot of people aren't understanding this, sheriff's are supposed to be a challenge... That's why they are there. Also if you don't wanna get arrested, RUN! or if you are risen do /logout

    I understand that sheriffs don't have the power to tpa, but the ones who are elite have the power to and can tpa to others. But what I want to say is that sheriffs ability to tpa to others or accept one should be restricted when that sheriff is shot or hit in combat. Because that's just stupid if your in a fight and you call for help and out of no where a sheriff comes from the sheriff you attacked and kills you.

    I fully disagree. You will end up with a bunch of non- ranked sheriffs. I don't think its fair to take away TPA when you got a team like CROW or BOTW who can tpa in 5 people while a sheriff can't because he took fall damage or something

    Yes they can tpa and I am not saying to take it fully away. But to disable it for a certain amount of time as that player is combat tagged.

    They could just walk away from the fight, camp in a building, hide behind hay... Ect. You are just prolonging it by 15-30 seconds. More time to what? Tpa more of your team or run when you could have done the same ALREADY. It doesn't make any sense
