I was against the whole thing that Ash said with artist, miner etc, because it creates more complications.... but something like having multiple coloured member titles, where they would just choose one colour, and then that would be what they kept (maybe not for the rest of their days as member... possibility to change?), then I think it would be worth doing.Not only is this so far away from what a regular user wants. It's borderline detached to reality of regular Minecraft servers.
I just don't think we should have too many other ranks which are specialised, or which have requirements. What I was saying with the whole Alt worlds ranks was just to compensate for the possibility of the server being flooded with one colour rank, if we made these other worlds more interesting, or more available, then players who had other preferences could spend more time there etc, but I don't think that's happened much as of yet because of the accessibility of the worlds...
The idea behind mine is to cater towards what the USER wants, the regular person. People (most) LOVE titles. They LOVE jobs, they want something to DO. Since we're getting rid of the old rank system of "build to get to the next rank". We NEED another system that actually has a purpose. Not a rank system that just has fancy titles and permissions.
Everyone, reality check. This system is GOING to fail if there is no conflict or entertainment aspects involved in it. Just like the current one. Just like the one before it. I am TRYING to propose job ranking system instead of builder ranking system because this system WON'T work. IT'S BORING!
There are 4 types of rank systems on servers (That I have seen):
1: Builder ranking
2: Role-Play Ranking
3: Jobs Ranking
4: Prestige Ranking (For PVP based servers)
Where does this new rank system fall? Builder, basically. But back to the old builder system we had. It's just a reversion back to the old way. We need to wake up and notice how much Minecraft has changed. It's not just about building anymore. It's about PVP, it's about Roleplay. It's a lot of things, Minecraft is what you make of it. (Yes, building is a primary aspect, but not the ENTIRE aspect) Last I checked, a LOT of users are leaving. HINT: It's not just because of the spawn.
