Pvp is a huge part of the server and primary reason people play it. MCP, with it's wide array of crate items has a particularly unique pvp system that is attracting in it's own way. However there are a number of problems associated with crates in the current meta.
1. Custom crate items goes against the principles of a "classic" "non-op" prison server

- In vanilla minecraft you can only get up to a certain level of gear as mentioned earlier. in the current meta for players to be competitive in pvp they must have to grind or pay for crates in order to get crate items. This makes the server unattractive for new players and for current players. If a new player joins the server wishes to engaged in a classic role and then is bumped by zeeden armor 30's in the retention rate is marginally reduced right there, once they see the prison is not actually a bear-bones, vanilla prison.
3. The current pvp system is very pay to win/ favors older players and opposes new players
- A sure example of this would be MattMab. For those of you who don't know he donated a considerable sum of money and with his wide collection of crate items dominated the pvp field in the prison. For a new player to be competitive they would have to either donate or acquire crates items in an arc that favors older players and
