Minecraft To Non-Ranks/Donators

There has probably been a thread about this before,
but I have a two petite things to say towards specifically the donators + the non-ranks.
Not like anyone would listen, but it'd be appreciated if this was read and possibly taken into
thought. Either way, I had to put this out.

First, to the Donators.
I've been seeing it a lot recently, the disrespect being thrown at unranked people. Not that there's already enough disrespect in the server, but don't throw more shade at them than you wouldn't at a person with the same rank as you. The general problems as such as disrespect/harassment are up to the mods to deal with.

Second, towards the unranked people.
The Donator Ranks donate for a reason, and you don't need to ask why/bug them just because they are a certain rank. They're the same as you almost, but just used their money to buy to a server they play almost everyday. Not all of them 'think highly' of themselves. There's almost no reason to become cocky with any rank (including mods).

 

i love you for saying this

 

even though i've donated like 110$ to the server, I have to agree that most donators are assholes to non-donators.
it seems like if you have a rank, you are more important than the non-ranked person.

 

This hits home to me.
It really does.

I will say this once, and only once.
I have been on both sides of this abuse. I have experienced it from both ends. I know how it feels.
When I was non-ranked, I tried to "fit-in" with the ranks. Most of them rejected me and plain out bullied me. I told myself that if I ever got a rank, I would not act like they were acting. I was wrong.
I ended up getting a rank, and did the same things that I told myself I would not do. I was being a hypocrite, and I didn't even know what I was doing at the time. And trust me, I went through the consequences hardcore, via depression and anxiety starting for me.

The thing is, most of the people who do this stuff don't know that it's wrong. And once they get punished, they realize that they've messed up.

It shouldn't matter if you payed money for some special perks or not. It shouldn't. It also shouldn't matter if you can't/don't pay money, it shouldn't. Peeps need to remember that we all were non-ranked, and we all have most likely went through this abuse.

I want to quote an experience I had on Creative1 back when I was full of myself with all the "popularity" I held.
I teleported to a random player, and they accepted. No big deal, I thought to myself.
I was auto-denied right when I teleported. I was furious, so I asked why. he said something like this.
"You're a rank, and those guys are mean."
I was full of myself back then, and I didn't know that what I was doing was wrong. I was mad and explained why he was being such a dummy.

I have seen this hate on both sides, and I have created some of this hate in the past. I wish that I had not created the hate I spread, but at the same time I am grateful I had the opportunity to learn from those mistakes.

Mistakes are made because we need to learn from them.

 

I agree, and we always learn from our mistakes at some point in our lives. Well said

 

@TheRealSmg and I had to learn lots from buying our ranks. Especially learn to not alienate non ranks.

 

Amazing thread, I agree with you. Because you're a God doesn't mean you're better then a legend. We're all even. And so are non-ranks. We're all humans behind a computer screen or a laptop, so what's the difference? Age? Skin color? Honestly, I don't care about that kind of stuff. It's just a game, so have fun instead of fighting with eachother :)

 

Yeah, I think everyone should be aware that be it ranked or non-ranked, everyone is equal. This should go out to the non-ranks too. There was an incident where someone said, "Wow, a Legend and a Hero teaming", (I have a Legend rank) and I found it really weird because I didn't really think it was much of an issue.

Good thread, I've witnessed and experienced these situations firsthand before.

 

Agree ;3

 

Agreed.

I've been playing on the server since around 2013. I can't remember when I first got my rank (VIP was my first rank), but I think it was around early to mid 2014 (don't quote me).

I do agree sometimes I see people who are non-ranked not always get accepted by ranked players and get bullied by them (in different ways). I like to think that I'm not like that, that I treat people equally - no matter their wealth or their public "rank" - I really do hope I have always done that.

I do admit a few times I have done /d just for fun with non-ranked people who may not understand - just having fun with them. No harm done.

I can't remember all the times I have been bugged by non-ranked players about my rank, but I do believe on some occasions I may have been.

Either way, I agree with this thread. In a way, it's sort of denying "racism". There are two "races" some people believe: The Ranks and the Non-Ranks. Some ranked players think they are better than the non-ranked, and some non-ranked don't trust the ranked. This is all rubbish. Everyone should work together, not judge by what rank they paid for.

Thank you for making this excellent thread!

Definitely agreed.
I know I may have accidentally said wrong things in the past or mistreated many. I am deeply sorry for any actions that I have done that have upset anyone.
I remember a long time ago, just before I got a rank I was treated differently due to just one aspect I didn't have.
Now I know you are all probably sick of the same story of people getting mistreated for having or not having a rank, but I just want to get this out of my chest.
I remember trying to join in with some people with ranks. Most of them were Herobrines and were chatting.
I tried to talk with them, tried to share my joy with them and say some jokes just to try and fit in, but all they did was moan 'Louise...'.
While I was silent, one of the ranks said something remotely close to what I said before, but they acted all nice and happy.

It's happening in this world too. I used to get bullied cause I didn't have a phone. People really think that small things change perspectives.
I have a rank now, but I've made many friends with donators and non-ranks. :)

 

Lol. I remember begging ranked people for op stuff but the best players in factions (yolostore) are non ranked. Skill is the best

 

You're a god for saying this.

As a [HeroBrine] ranked player, people always say it is "pay to win" or "you wasted money on your rank" and it really pisses me off but I'm working on keeping my mouth shut or just saying "ohk" XD

 

It's just we human mosty want to become more powerful or higher up in their and people think it's when you donate and that's complety wrong, and I've heard from a few people that they only donated as they would be noticed in chat and that's also a thing, most non donators doesn't get noticed in chat or in general and me as a [God] donator sees that as a bad thing, and it's honestly bad, people want to get noticed they must donate as donators doesn't look at non donator it's kinda like that on creative, and non donators think we donated becuase it's "pay2win" like most of us don't, as only place we really get it is from kitpvp, and nothing else in my opinion, but myself I donated to support the server, not to become higher then normal default/non default players.

 

Amazingly said. You literally are amazing for saying this.ツ

As the rank [God] on the server, I get lots of hate for being the rank. "You think you're better than us!" and etc. I see this shade being thrown at non-donators a lot because they think their ego is better because they bought a rank, but personally the rank means nothing. Sure it means you donated, you helped the server, and you have some perks. But you're still the same as a non-donator basically. I also see the shade being thrown at donators because of multiple reasons. "You just want to show off your money." "You pay to win." "You wasted your money on a rank, idiot." Donators throw shade at non-donators for multiple reasons as well. "I'm better than you, you don't have a rank. Haha!" "I'm better than you because of my rank." and further more. I thank you so much for bringing this up, and hopefully one day all of this drama and ego will stop with the donators and non-donators.

 

Yesss I've had many people say that I wasted my money. Very irritating. However, there are instances when the donors count me in their chats - I guess it's just certain people with bad habits, but most of the people on this server are quite friendly, don't you all agree?

 

It's another "ism" people have to deal with along with other forms of disrespect. I do not feel changed by my rank since I have played as a default for over two years, as well as the fact that I did not buy my rank. I will respect and disrespect others equally regardless of their rank.
People subdue to this anyways but it is good to see others with clearer minds.

 

I've literally never seen this.

Everyone's pretty chill, and I've even seen multiple donators giving kits to unranked players.

I feel like you guys are blowing up a so called problem that has long passed.

If you feel like someone is getting bullied, talk to Staff member with proof. Simple.

 

Perhaps it's rarer.
