Idea Salvaging

So, I've played on Brawl, McPvP GG and McTeams lately where I found MCTeams and McPvP more favorable on many points. One of the things that made me really like the other two, were that they had the salvaging plug-in; which basically can make tools/armor back to ores. That way there's a better reason travelling in nether castles, and looking for dungeons. How you do it is basically putting either gold/diamond/iron block next to a furnace, and right click the block which the armor/tool is made of, and depending on durability you will get a certain amount of ores. That way you can also get more out of raids, if you for example get a ton of bad enchants like projectile protection etc. Then you can make it to ores and remake, and re enchant without having to waste ores, or maybe use it to sell, or something else.

I think it makes everything to be useful, for example; I have found over 50 diamond/gold/iron horse armor, which I couldn't use for anything, same goes for gold tools and armor. This way you can use many more things, and if you're good at PvP and hate mining, but you want to make an iron tracker, you can fight your way to iron instead of having to mine/vote.

 

If we'd more want vanilla aspect we should start off removing vote rewards for survival. And I think this rewards players that has practiced a lot on getting good at pvp, and they'll be rewarded by getting materials; practicing and doing what they like. You can explore caves, mineshafts and nether castles with a good reason; getting (horse)armor / tools and being able to salvage. There will always be bad enchant armor, which I see no point in, people only fight in bad armor because they want to get rid of it, and therefore don't see any need to keep it. So I see no point in having a lot of trash armor, when you can have less armor, but good armor you can actually use.

Also, I really do not see any point in having horse& gold armor/tools without salvaging. Gold armor is pretty much useless since it gives bad protection, and has really low durability. And horse armor is pretty useless too, since you can't warp on a horse, and I don't know a lot of people who'd bring horse armor, run 500 blocks at least away from spawn, get a horse, tame it and give it armor, run back to spawn and pvp with the horse armor.

 

IMO salvaging is closer to vanilla than crates.

 

I don't see the big difference, salvaging also only gives vanilla items, which is the ores it's made of?

 

I really think you're overrating how much it is. (4+5+7+8)/4 = 54*65% (65% is probaly avarage dura on different armor) That's around 210 iron per dub, which I don't seem to find that much, if I took me 2 min to vote I'd get 320 iron. And the point is to make loot from pvp / raids more attractive. For example if you find a base with 10 dubs iron armor, u can't really use that for much unless you could salvage it, and then it wouldn't even be OP but just decent 210*10 2100 iron. Pretty good loot. I think salvaging would make PvP and tracking/raiding much more attractive, probaly get more people on the server, and get more of the people on the server to start pvp'ing and track/raiding. That's just my POV.

 

I don't think anyone but you have 100 dubs of iron armor, and that is also due to the extremely long time between resets (over a year). And if you see on the servers with salvaging, they're getting way more popular than brawl, I think this is a good idea for the players, and the server. And I'll say it again, if they'd really want vanilla aspect, remove voting.

 

I don't think rewards for survival pvp should be achieveable with vote tokens then, instead they should make it so that you could buy tempoary ranks for it instead. Like 2500 vote tokens for 1 month vip 5000 for 1 month MVP etc.

And I really doubt that if they removed voting rewards for just survival pvp they would get off the server list. And if they didn't want to lose the survival voters, they should add the ranking system I posted above.

 

Because I like the idea of MCMMO salvaging, I haven't said anything about adding the whole MCMMO, just a small plug-in (salvaging)? I'm looking at facts, and at what would benefit players and server the most. And if you look at the poll (I know it's a very small amount of people who has voted) but that is still in favor of salvaging. While (no offense) your is just ur personal opinion and has nothing to do with with the facts about what is most popular, and attractive on servers.
