This entire change is absolutely revolting - a new low, even for you. Turning long-standing, earned cosmetics into cash-only items is not just greedy, it’s straight-up scummy. You’ve gone from being a beloved server to a soulless vending machine, and this update proves it. Nobody asked for this. Nobody wanted this. And yet here it is - shoved down our throats like some “exciting new feature.” Newsflash: it’s not. It’s theft in broad daylight.
Let’s be 100% clear — stat kill messages weren’t just “cosmetics.” They were a badge of honor. Something that showed how much time, effort, and dedication a player put in. Whether you earned it through grinding, luck in mystery boxes, or years of loyalty, it meant something. But now? Now it’s locked behind a paywall like some second-rate skin pack. You didn’t add value to the game - you deleted value and resold it.
This isn’t progression. This is regression with a price tag. Instead of releasing anything meaningful, like balance updates, new content, bug fixes, or community rewards - you’ve decided to recycle existing features and sell them back to your playerbase like we’re nothing but ATMs. It’s insulting. Absolutely insulting.
You're not a triple-A company. You're not some struggling indie dev trying to stay afloat. You’re a well-established Minecraft server - with an already monetized ecosystem. Ranks, lootboxes, cosmetics - that was enough. But no, now even the core identity cosmetics - the ones people already OWNED - are being held hostage behind a currency system designed to pressure players into spending real money.
And for what? You’re not improving gameplay. You’re not encouraging loyalty. You’re not even hiding the greed anymore. You’re just openly gutting legacy features and selling the bones back to us. It’s dystopian. It’s laughable. It’s a spit in the face to every veteran who stuck by you through your countless missteps - through lag spikes, broken hit reg, ignored feedback, unbalanced modes, false bans, hacker infestations. And this is how you repay them?
And let’s talk about priorities. You’re fast to roll out paywalled garbage, but when it comes to fixing real problems? You’re nowhere to be found. I’ve submitted over 15 legitimate bug reports. Game-breaking stuff. And guess how many were addressed? Not one. ZERO. One even got marked as “accepted and fixed” - but surprise! It wasn’t. You can’t even fix your premium content correctly, and you expect people to spend money on it?
What kind of operation are you running here? You ignore feedback, you ignore bug reports, but when there’s cash to grab, you sprint out the door with a smile. It’s pathetic. You’ve lost the plot.
This kind of behavior is exactly why people left before. SkyWars updates that broke more than they fixed. Titan kits that were busted for months. Mojang had to step in because your greed and incompetence couldn’t be contained. And now you’re at it again - not even pretending to care. Just flipping switches and watching the money roll in.
And you really think people won’t notice? That we’ll just sit here quietly while you dismantle what made the server fun, piece by piece, and sell it back under the lie of “new cosmetics”? We’re not that stupid. You’re burning bridges, fast. And once they're gone, they don’t rebuild themselves.
Let’s take a guess what’s next. Maybe /msg becomes a Gold-only perk. Want to join a party? That’ll be 50 Gold per invite. Want to talk in chat more than once a minute? Monthly subscription. You’re not even hiding the fact that you’re just waiting to put a price tag on basic features. And don’t say "we won’t do that" - because no one thought you’d sell kill messages either. But here we are.
You’ve betrayed your oldest, most loyal players. You’ve embarrassed yourselves with this decision. You’ve taken something fun, harmless, and deeply tied to progression, and warped it into a soulless microtransaction. Not even new - just stolen from the past.
This isn’t just bad business. It’s cowardly. You didn’t earn a single extra ounce of respect with this update. All you earned is backlash - and you deserve every bit of it. Because at the end of the day, this wasn’t a mistake. This wasn’t an oversight. It was intentional, premeditated, and entirely driven by greed.
Revert this garbage. Give players their earned kill messages back. Respect your community before there’s nothing left to respect you.
Because right now? You're a server - a pay-to-look-good pyramid scheme with some PvP on the side.
And the more you monetize nostalgia, the faster that nostalgia dies.
