Stop Paywalling Stat Messages​

Detailed description:

Statistic Kill Messages were always a cosmetic that could be unlocked through mystery boxes - if you had a rank like Elite or higher. It was a grind-based reward that gave players something to work toward and flex with. Now it costs 350 Gold - real money - just to access what some players already earned.


This isn’t a new feature. It’s a legacy cosmetic that’s been in the game for years, and locking it behind a paywall feels like you’re selling back what was already earned. Players who’ve supported the server, bought ranks, and played for years are now forced to pay again for something they already had access to.


Please revert this change - or at the very least, return access to players who previously unlocked the messages. This move doesn’t improve gameplay. It just punishes loyal players and makes the server feel more pay-to-flex than ever.​

Reason(s):

Reasons:

• Stat Kill Messages were previously unlockable through mystery boxes with a rank like Elite, making them a grind-based cosmetic, not a paid one.
  
  
• Locking them behind 350 Gold (real money) takes away progression and replaces it with monetization.
  
  
• Players who already unlocked them are now being forced to pay again — which feels unfair and disrespectful.
  
  
• This change removes value from existing ranks and undermines the effort of long-time players.
  
  
• It offers no gameplay improvement — only adds frustration and makes the server feel more pay-to-win.
  
  
• Reverting the change would restore trust and reward loyal players instead of punishing them.

Example(s):

Examples:

• A player with Elite rank who unlocked a Stat Kill Message from a mystery box a year ago now logs in and sees it locked behind 350 Gold, even though they already earned it.
  
  
• New players can buy the cosmetic instantly with money, while older players who actually unlocked it must pay again to use what they already had.
  
  
• Multiple long-time players have reported losing access to their previously unlocked Stat Messages, despite having the required rank and opening the cosmetic fairly.
  
  
• Players who supported the server financially by buying ranks like Titan or Elite are now being treated the same as free accounts - unless they pay again.
  
  
• Instead of adding new kill messages as paid cosmetics, the system took existing ones and monetized them - punishing past progression.
