Minecraft Name: Expipiplusone Suggestion: Introducing low-reward kit-free arenas Reason: SG is basically the only place where new players can have some PvP, but at the same time the presence of kits makes it very frustrating to them: this leads to the premature departure from the server of a vast majority of new players. At the same time I acknowledge that kits are a part of the economy and introducing kit-free arenas could lead to disruptive effects, if not done properly (as explained in this thread). I suggest that the introduction of kit-free arenas should be done setting their reward at a fraction of the current rewards for kit-allowed arenas: their amount could be easily adjusted so that the introduction of kit-free arenas doesn't have disrupting effects on the economy while, at the same time, it would let non-kit-ers play SG without frustration. This way the differentiation between high-end PvP-ers and low-end ones would not be lost, unlike now: currently, there's no differentiation because low-end PvP-ers just don't exist. Any Other Information: TL;DR: introducing kit-free arenas with lower rewards than kit-allowed ones would save new players from frustration (and avoid their premature departure) while not disrupting the SG economy (better: it would improve it). Link To This Plugin: no plugin needed, just need to calibrate different rewards for low-end kit-free arenas and high-end kit-allowed ones.
I agree with this. Also, my thought is if these are implemented, add them to the SG board in Legacy. That would make sense, as SG before was "Legacy" and the newer, kit-PvP based SG is "Rising" I would also advocate a name change if this were to be implemented, explaining that Rising's SG is really "Kit PvP" and Legacy SG is more Hunger Games-esque. Just my thoughts.
+1 i love the idea. the current sg aside from playing at 4am is full of kits and seasoned players. its very difficult to learn/play when your out matched so easily. i could care less about the rewards of winning. i would just want an sg that allows you to learn the game and doesnt feed you to the wolves the second immunity falls off.
+1 Sure. I think none of us would mind no reward at all. I sure wouldn't. Actually having new players enjoy the server would be rewarding.
Sure. I'd like this to be implemented. I also would like it if the rewards were to be lower than the regular arenas, I believe that's fair to kitters. +1
Or make the winnings the same, with one arena, like I currently have suggested... But better to have some reward than none, and at least give new players a chance.
