Objectively speaking:
A plugin that adds certain skill progression mechanics to the game, which reminds of the structure of most MMORPGs.
Subjectly speaking:
- The perfect example of a way to transform a game into what is not supposed to be.
- The perfect example of how people think something's cool just because it's popular and many other people (inherently to my argument, other servers) have it.
- Something that will potentially make people even more unchallenged by the world than they currently are.
- Something that adds the *lovely* "haha, I have higher skill levers than you" factor in the game.
I agree with you, there are countless MMO/RPG games that are designed to be MMO/RPG games that are way better then MC. but like with any new feature, there's guna be people who like it and people who don't. also I don't think our lack of welcoming is due
entirely to money, skills, or anything else related to personal gain. it's ok if a new player comes on, reads the rules, and starts playing (no physical assistance), but if they ask a question and no one responds, then we have a problem.
Personally, I like mcMMO, not because it's a great plugin or I want minecraft to be mmorpg, but because it adds something new and offers more objectives.
