1 - Minecraft ELU is a joke everybody brakes them in some fashion or another without fear of reprisal from Mojang. They are toothless.
2 - Every Minecraft Server charges real money in one-way or another for Permissions, Upgrades, Staff Jobs.
3 - Every Minecraft Server Owner cares less about the players and the way the server runs and is only doing it for the UN REPORTED EXTRA INCOME.
4 - Bad Minecraft Servers are easy to spot they have no real domain name or web address and no Real Website. They use Discord as a website.
5 - No Minecraft Server provide users with email address to contact the owners with. They use a ticket system instead and it gets checked sometimes not at all.
6 - No Minecraft Server Allows users access to the Grief protection tools like /co i - Allowing them to see who accessed their chest, doors, blocks last. they do this to protect them self's so they do not got caught Stelling from player.
7 - No Minecraft server allows players to access their shop logs to see who is buying what from their shops.
8 - Minecraft Server have a bad habit if not checking who they allow players to become staff, so many I have found to be on USBAN's List. or allowing kids as Admin.
9 - Minecraft Servers goes through staff a lot due to all the complaints they receive and the server owners ignoring all the reports from their staff. That is why we see all staff players keep leaving the servers. they work without support or backup from the server owners, No providing staff with emergency contact numbers, Having no permissions to fix simple things, No access to server logs. allowing them proof when they ban or jail a player.
Discord - It is fun to watch Staff the was supposed be watching the server, They go and play on other game servers instead as indicated on the users status..
Todays Minecraft is not what Notch visioned at all.
Minecraft Updates:
Each up date the Minecraft comes out with screws up the servers.
All the java plugins have to be redone and updated it order for them to keep working correctly. Why cant Microsoft do Minecraft Updates with out causing all the Java Plugins to fail each and every time allowing hackers access to servers to cause havoc on them while they wat for new Java Plugins up be updated, sometimes it takes weeks, and some programmers Just stop supporting Minecraft.
No wonder why Microsoft is so bad at programing they replaced all their good people for students that know nothing about real programing.
Example: windows Operating system from a paid secure program windows-xp To now this free blotted crap full of spyware that needs updating weekly.
There are a group of players who prow the Minecraft Servers just to find holes in Minecraft then notify their group to see who can create the most damage to servers, It's a contest for them.
