Azie with the sweet snipe here, to start this post off:
Amazing reason
Anyways, back to the main topic.
In my point of view, griefing is 100% wrong. There is no possible way to justify someone griefing someone else's work. It's just simply unacceptable. Why? Well, lemme give you some very good reasons.
YOU'RE DESTROYING SOMEONE ELSE'S HARD WORKSure, you can say this this is a sandbox game, and that Mojang would've done something if they didn't want other people to break things. But in all honesty, I don't think the people over at Mojang would
approve of griefing at all. Hard work doesn't deserve anything like that. If I spent 2 weeks building a cool spawn for my server, and I was really proud of what I did, and then soon after someone comes on and breaks it all, that's just really disheartening.
IT'S NOT FAIR TO OTHERSMan, you think you're so cool, breaking other people things to shut down the annoying 9-year-old's server. How do you think that kid feels? He spent who knows how long trying to build up a server that he wants to have fun with because
he loves the game, and then all of his stuff gets destroyed, and he has nothing left. Do you know how he feels? I can assume that more than 50% of the time, that child feels terrible because he worked so hard and was proud of what he did. Now he has nothing, and he feels like trying again is pointless, because the same thing could happen all over again, and he already tried so hard.
This is how children are. Don't say that "They shouldn't be making a server if they don't know how to protect it properly." Minecraft isn't exactly a game full of adults. It's a game tailored towards kids.
I know from experience with my 2 little brothers. They are so excited to be able to try and get their own server. They love building, making ranks, and getting staff members. They're SO... excited. No, my brothers aren't annoying 9 year olds that don't deserve to have a server. They're normal boys that are trying to have fun with what they're doing. When they get griefed, they're pretty sad. They panic, try and ban the person as quickly as possible, and then they kinda sit there in shock. What kind of child deserves that? Does that type of behavior create future server owners? Maybe. Maybe not.
I've made my points. I think a lot of people will understand where I come from. Was fun writing this post, actually -- RANT = OVER
