Hi, So personally I feel the support for factions is low, with there constantly being alts with VPNs with settings on max it's hard to deal with in an appropriate way if there isn't any staff ever on factions. While there is simultaneously at least 3 staff on at all times on creative, the server that needs the least moderating. It's a pain for every faction member when you lose p5 or rare stuff to hackers that are still on the server due to no staff being on. Personally I feel as though we need a better factions staff team because I don't think I've seen 3/4 of the faction's staff on factions. This isn't an attack on the current staff team but as players, we don't want to play here if the server is like this with no anti-cheat and no staff on at all times. It's a pain and I'd like to see some sort of thoughts from the admins on what to do to fix this issue if you want to keep this player base alive.
Staff aren't obligated to be on 24/7, as they have lives to live as well. While Creative may need less active, hand-on moderation than Factions, there are still lots of chat offences and explicit builds to be dealt with on that subserver. You also need to consider not every staff member knows much or is able to learn about Factions, whereas Creative is very easy to pick up. Only SrMod+ staff members can teleport to a player who isn't in warzone, so it's already harder to catch hackers because they have an extra way of slipping through the cracks. Factions is a really complicated, fast-paced gamemode with lots of players, so some messages will definitely be missed in the chat as well. Some offences also require a Factions staff to come and issue Factions warnings as well, which is not the case anywhere else on MCC. Basically, Factions is very complicated, the chat moves very fast and there are situations exclusive to it, so not many staff are drawn to it. The playerbase is alive and well, so I don't know what you're aiming for there. Overall, Factions is one of the most heavily staffed subservers, especially as of late with the new Factions staff promos. Saying there's a lack of staff support on Factions is a slap to the entire Minigames community, as we deal with more hackers for longer periods of time, much more frequently as well. If you are so upset with the staff team's treatment of the Factions subserver, you are always free to apply here. Have a lovely day.
I have seen probably 2 actual factions staff talk in chat and I'm on constantly, I've been killed by people with max settings probably 4 times. Most of which are in a warzone and then I go onto creative and there is 3 staff that are mods or above and it is all in a warzone. Took an hour to get banned and in total, about 4 p5 sets were lost from all deaths combined along with a few p4. It really isn't that hard to invest 2k out of the several hundred thousand this server has made into a half-decent anti-cheat. And not to mention losing sets is insanely more meaningful when you don't spend 120$ for a rank for free sets. The entirety of the server is p2w and its aids to play on. I think every big faction on mcc currently is leaving after this map as well.
If more staff members talk in chat, hackers will catch on and obviously avoid them or toggle off in their presence. Not talking and staying in /v or /sm is the best way for this to be prevented. Like I said in my post above, Creative has its own needs. With players roleplaying all sorts of scenarios, there are bound to be explicit conversations and plots, which need to be dealt with ASAP. If you're in a faction, can't you just chill in /f home until someone deals with the hacker? This to me sounds more your fault than anyone else's. A new AC is coming with the Minigames revamp this summer, and honestly losing more than one set to a hacker is entirely your own doing. As the saying goes, "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". If you ever want to report the hackers though, you can make a player report ticket here (with evidence) or drop their IGN in the #support channel of the MCC Discord. Doing so helps the server and actually makes a difference. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hmmm yes you need more staff on the server that uses no payouts. And I was literally in my own trap and it was phased into along with 3 other traps :) how do i prevent that please tell me
Also, The hackers were on for about a hour and a half before being banned despite atleast 5 online staff at the time being alerted about it. That makes no sense to me as it was also in warzone and submitting a report takes several days to look into.
