Rejected Proposal Survival Explorer

• Your Nickname: _Marlo__
• Proposal Title: Ban leads while flying
• How do you think this proposal would benefit the community?

I belive my proposal will help the server a lot as the title of the section suggests, it's all about survival, about exploring. While flying can be useful in doing the exploring it can also affect gameplay a lot. Minecraft gave us the happy ghast which is a useless mob right now and that's because you can simply do /fly, grab a boat, grab a lead and just carry mobs around, while in theory you shouldn't be able to do this.
Besides that, I want to tell you a short story
It all started about 1 moth and 2 weeks ago, I wanted to show the comunity my skills, my vision .. my creativity and I have build a house and then I wanted to make the background feel alive so I spend time finding dogs to tame, and then a cat and then a parrot. I had 3 dogs and 1 cat, the vibe of my house was nice, I enjoyed it but I went afk for about 6 hours and when I came back, to my surprise my pets we're missing. What did i do wrong ? I was asking myself, I made sure I put a protection block, I made sure I gave the pets a name so how did it dissapear ? Well, I noticed there were boats laying around.
I didn't understod how it happend at first, then I went to a mission to collect villagers, I had this grand ideea of creating a Trading Hall to help players enchant their stuff and I did (You can check it out using /pw Trading) but in order to do so, I had to collect Villagers from 4000-6000 blocks distance. So I did, using a happy ghast, it took me 2 hours but it was fun. The players on the server saw it as an adventure and joined me, we we're 4 people on a happy ghast going in a adventure. https://discord.com/channels/415766925310820372/713727272892235836/1503513562503577770 (this is a picture from back then, this is Gamster Discord channel) after I did collect the villagers, someone just told me "Weren't you aware you can just use /fly and a lead ? It would have taken you 3 minutes" And then it hit me, that's how they stole my pets in the first place, they just use /fly and a lead or a lead and a boat.
So /fly + lead or /fly + lead + boat makes happy ghast totaly useless, kills the vanila vibe and some players with bad intentions can steal your beloved pets. They can do even more harm, they can boat bomb your house.
Today I saw it all, someone placed a boat in the AFK pool, now immagine someone with bad intentions would be able to boat bomb the spawn or mob bomb the spawn, is not the prettiest picture.
Thank you

• Why do you believe this proposal is useful?

My proposal will be useful in the sense that

Players unable to capture your mobs
Happy ghast becomes usefull again
No boats bombing (Less lag)
You don't advance so quick - Players playing for longer on the server
Harder to build Trading halls, farms - The server curency is more stable
With /fly + lead + boat or even without a boat just /fly + lead, it takes 5 minutes to move a mob over 2000 blocks without it, assuming you're using a happy ghast, it can take about 45 to 50 minutes which gives you a sense of acomplishing something.
More vanilla feel like to the survival section.

I disagree with this suggestion because players can already prevent mob theft by keeping their mobs in secure areas. Moreover, mob theft can happen even without /fly, so removing the command would not completely solve the issue.

Additionally, players who prefer a more vanilla survival experience can simply choose not to use /fly. Since the feature is available to everyone, it cannot really be considered an advantage. If all players have access to the same command, then nobody is progressing faster than others mainly because of /fly, they all have the same opportunity to use it. Also, from a player perspective /fly itself does not create lag, so I believe there is no server performance benefit to removing it.

Because of this, removing /fly would mainly make building and traveling more difficult while doing little to stop mob theft. Instead, go for better protection and base security. And while competition may become tougher as a result for some players, that's ultimately the nature of survival: every player is trying to gather resources, stay ahead of others, and survive in a competitive environment.

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion and interest in Gamster.org.

After reviewing your suggestion about "Ban leads while flying", we have decided not to move forward with it at this time. We feel it does not quite fit our plans for the server and as teolica2009 pretty much said.

While we understand the concerns regarding mob theft, restricting the use of leads while flying would not fully solve the issue, as mobs can still be stolen through other methods. Players already have ways to protect their animals and mobs by keeping them in secure and well protected areas.

Removing or limiting this feature would mainly make things harder for players who use it fairly, while not doing much to solve the problem.

For these reasons, we believe that improving base security and taking preventative measures remains the more effective approach.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and help us improve the server.

Sincerely,
sSnify.
