I can see why you'd think that these aren't vanilla, and I won't be able to convince you that it is. Not to say that the Map Limit was a good idea, or that it worked, but it got approved despite being un-vanilla for a reason. There was so little PVP, that we had to resort to removing vanilla. If we weren't so desperate for PVP, there's no way it would ever be approved. This is the same case, but more agreeable since it only hurts the Combat-Loggers. With so many people Combat-Logging, I can easily say that things are just as desperate here. I'd even be willing to argue that Combat-Logging is a much bigger problem than lack of PVP. As RevStoningpot has implied, PVP sucks.worldruler086 wrote:I don't personally agree with you, but I'll admit I respect you for trying to present your idea both passionately and while being open-minded. But you seem to be confused with why those who are saying "this isn't vanilla" are saying that. You see, the limit, as well as this proposal, does nothing for those players, and instead helps those on your side of the fence. I'm not saying appealing to your issues isn't a bad thing, but it seems simplicity used to be "play how you want to play", and now it has become "play how you want to play, but you have to follow these strict rules". So, once again, I disagree with you on this proposal, but I hope we can go through a formal discussion involving it.
Also, rather than people who live outside 5k, people don't Combat-Log on a regular basis. If you're outside the 5k border you'll lose your bed and access to nether, which isn't very fun and can cause someone to quit, but I'm sure anyone can live without Combat-Logging.
One more thing, I think it's possible to convince you that 3 is vanilla. If it was for loading chunks, I'm sure Notch wouldn't have expected for anything to ever go on in that 2 second period of time. But he was wrong, and what happens for that small period of time where everything is loading starts interfering with the gameplay. Chunk errors are a problem with how the game loads that interfere with the gameplay, I doubt he wanted that to happen. If this 2 second godmode was for how the game loads, I doubt he'd want it to interfere with the gameplay as well.
