Whatever mob cap rule MCP currently has severely hinders the efficiency of natural spawning mob farms. This wasn't that big of a problem when the average player count was lower, as you could usually find a window of time where the hindrance was low. Now that there's a consistent number of players on at a given time, those windows are now little to none.

I bring this up due to the availability of mob spawners in the cdgs shop. Spawner-based farms are currently the most reliable as they are not affected by the mob cap rules imposed. Vanilla players could set up a spawner-based farm, but they are limited to 1-2 spawners, maybe 3 if you get very lucky with cave-spiders.

This leads to a P2W element for spawners: vanilla players simply cannot compete with the gigachad wallets who buy 10+ spawners, granting themselves not only unrivalled farm efficiency, but unique item drops tailored to their liking.
With the current nerfed setup of natural-spawning based farms, vanilla players are intrinsically limited to naturally generated spawners, restricting their EXP efficiency and variety of item drops to the whims of whatever is naturally spawned in the world. For example, without working natural-mob spawning farms, there is no reasonable way to compete in EXP or gunpowder efficiency compared to MrMoney[$$$] who donated for 10 creeper spawners.

I have similar quarrels with crates but I'll take it one step at a time.

There is nothing wrong with having the option to buy these things in the store, but it quickly becomes an issue when you can only get these items from the store.

You've recently talked about a Baron+ rank, which could rectify these issues by adding an expensive in-game option to obtain these items in a vanilla fashion.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

Who banned you? Silas_Bowen
When were you banned? (Time/Date) I think 3-13-22 but not positive
Why were you banned? X- Ray
Are you at fault? No
What was your rank on MCP? Free
Why should we unban you? I am not a hundred percent sure the exact reasoning on why because Silas said he shall not disclose his methods but I assume he checked points and saw that I mined spawners. I did mine spawners but I did however do it the MCP official way of using a Miner Coal on the spawner setting. IMO the most powerful item in the game because it allows you to get points to get crates or Point shop items without having to pay a large sum of money for crates, and I was on the hunt for an UNB 10 enchant so I could live my days out in the mines.
Were you fined and do you think you deserve reimbursement? I think it was a $2,000,000 fine
Additional info: I Do not wish to be banned from the HOTS team for this offense

Do you have any experience with other prison servers? I have been playing this server since 2016, so I am very experienced with this server and the rules etc.
Do you have any experience with guarding? i was head guard on this server in 2019 or 2018 one of the 2 XD.
Give a list of servers and your guard rank (IP if possible). Jail.cdgs.net Head guard
Have you read both the guard rules and the prisoner rules, even the ones in the info room? yes I have indeed. REEEEEEE!!
Why should we pick you to be our next guard? Like I said I have been playing this server for quite a while now since 2016 and I have been guard before also. So therefore I am very familiar with the rules and not what to do as a guard etc. I also like helping new people out and making sure there not getting murdered by people with a lot better items.

Do you have any experience with guarding? Give a list of servers and your guard rank (IP if possible). Yes, jail.cdgs.net

Have you read both the guard rules and the prisoner rules, even the ones in the info room? Yessir, REEEEEEE

Why should we pick you to be our next guard? I would love a chance at guard. I believe I could do the job well. I'd love to crack down those prisoner evil doers, while bringing fun pvp to the server for everyone. Although its not a requirement, I feel as I am above average at pvp. I've been guard before, and I surely wasn't the best out there. But I'm confident I'll be able to exceed your expectations. I've got immaculate appearance, I'm technically proficient, I'm friendly, and above all else, I have unyielding standards. I've got a lot of years of this server under my belt and I'm confident in my knowledge of the server rules, and guard rules. Giving me another chance would be a huge win for MCP and its community.

Thank you - MondoChief
