Duping on Pay-To-Win Minecraft Servers Doesn't Always go According to Plan

Ойындар

This particular server is known for reacting very quickly to players duping items. But we didn't think it would be THAT fast...

    Also illegal in the USA. § 233.1). The FTC considers it deceptive to offer an item for sale at a higher price for a short period of time in order to support a claim that an item is discounted when the price is then lowered. This practice is prohibited. Several companies have already been taken to court for this, you can report fraud to the FTC.

    every "p2w" server is operated as a business, but some just don't invest enough in administration and security, thinking that would save costs so they get more profits. This server like many other p2w servers is scummy in many ways like the fact that they hold a permanent 90% off sale to make people think they get a great deal off stuff, making that 90% off the official price in fact and they also likely do a lot of resets (kind of a season type deal) as their economy is gonna always be extremely inflated and people are going to leave after they get bored of it

    Yeah it's sad. The unfortunate truth is, that it works. I ran a midsize server for a while, before I eventually sold it. I ran a very ethical donating system, with almost zero items of power, purchasable through donation. The crate keys therefore were relatively stale, as with the ranks. Few players donate to support the server, but even those that do, will donate once or twice at most, and server costs are relentless. It's possible to run an ethical server and make it large, but you either have to have a heavily modified server, to allow of lots of custometic rewards, which isn't in everyones taste. At the end of the day, I was profitable, but considering the time invested, it was a terrible business endavour. I ended up selling it.

    I know I'm a bit late to the party but I managed to crash an entire server with kelp. It was a money earning server where much like this you could get money to buy upgrades and other cool things through selling resources. I figured out that I could buy with my starter money just enough to forward a large plot of land, a shit ton of glass, two water buckets, and 10 kelp as well as the sand to grow it on. I then proceeded to sell the raw kelp to get enough to get some cobblestone and make myself a furnace as well as get enough coal and wood to make a crafting table and expand my processing. After about 3 days of people looking at my process and laughing at it because of how slow I was earning money compared to everybody else. People stop paying attention to me and I use that opportunity to keep expanding. I bought three other plots around me and connected them together to make a large tank I then used a plant booster beacon to increase their growth speed. What people didn't realize is the kelp when dried can be turned into kelp blocks. My one in-game currency could sell for seven when made into a kelp block. The funny thing about kelp blocks is they can be used for fuel as well. Thus eliminating The need for wood or coal. I also set up a collection system that would compile all of the kelp together and feed it into a massive auto smelter that would siphon off some of the dried kelp into an autocrafter that would turn it into kelp blocks and then would send those via rail all the way back up to refeed the system count blocks and any excess or dropped off into the chest. With the kelp growing at really good speed, each stock being able to bring 75ish kelp per minute. I had effectively made a infinite money generator that id just have to clear out once and a while. No one realized what was going on until I was selling thousands of blocks at a time making thousands of dollars in minutes using it to expand outwards and increase my automation. I added smokers in the next update and the system got even faster going up to about $30,000 every 15 minutes worth of profit. I then bought an auto seller that would automatically sell the items for me so I literally had to do nothing. While I sat back and let it work other people began to see what I was doing and very rapidly started changing over to a kelp base economy XD everyone was selling off their old supplies to the market and starting kelp farms by using my publicly visitable one as a reference. Some even hiring me to make them smaller versions. Between the startup cost of my kelp farm, the efficiency, the infinite fuel for other projects, and the mass of the amount of income. I manage to single-handedly crush them. It was then that they dropped the price of a kelp block from 7 to 1 But people were generating it so fast and mine had gotten so big that even that wasn't enough and they couldn't put a value less than one in their programming. Other people began to swap over that we're holding out up until that point and it ultimately resulted in me getting removed from there for supposed exploiting despite me having played by their exact rules and their exact market. They got so angry that I ruin their economy with kelp that they ultimately ended up shutting it down after everyone demanded I come back on because I didn't violate the rules and everyone either got banned or left this pay to win server. They tried to start up a new one and I joined under an alias and did the same exact thing but this time I didn't make it out of glass and instead made out of obsidian with a pretty good looking iron golem farm on the outside to make it look like it was just a mob Grinder And iron golem farm. Little did they know it was like kelp farm in disguise underneath and they removed me again once I got over a million currency. They got so mad that they started messaging me privately asking me to stop but due to their false ban rather than them just talking to me first then asking me to chill out. I refused. Then they banned kelp entirely in their next one. The problem is bamboo has the same exact qualities but doesn't require water which makes it even cheaper to work and I did the same exact thing. They IP banned me XD

    Actually, servers that are on a version prior to 1.19 can not be banned by Mojang, because they can use what is known as an SRV Rotator to get around the blacklist, even if Mojang blacklists the server. Many big servers have actually already been blacklisted by Mojang, but continue to operate nonetheless. I think this may have been patched in version 1.19, but I'm not sure. There may be a new work-around as well, and many servers still operate on version 1.12 or even 1.8 as well, in which case the patch will not apply. In addition, many servers these days are beginning to use plugins that automatically, "scan," through each player's inventory every few seconds, and if a suspicious quantity of expensive items is detected, it can notify staff. Some of the plugins are very advanced, and can rollback _only_ the duped items. Some plugins even scan chests that players interact with, and mark the coordinates of any chest with a suspicious quantity of items. Do with that information what you will, I used to be a developer for a large P2W server.

    @Alex MacKelly It completely depends on the server, as each server often has different methods for preventing such exploits. Some are worse than others. Some are ran like businesses and are very hard to crack. Some are practically impossible. A few guidelines would be: use unknown accounts (accs that have never been in a video), use non-public exploits, play on the server legitimately for a while before duping, dupe over the course of days and distribute items across multiple accounts. Have lots of small dupe stashes instead of a few (or only one) big one. These are some things you could do to circumvent the inventory/chest scanning, as well as avoiding being checked just for being a new player. Some servers use even more sophisticated plugins which track items across multiple players back to their source -- much like how a government tax agency might track everyone's transactions IRL -- in which case it's not possible to hide a large dupe stash, unless you have many accounts, many vpns, and do very slowly

I'd been on many servers that I didn't think were P2W simply because when the EULA first changed, the server I was admin on just classified everything as a technicality "well technically they could earn this, it'll just take forever" and at first that was my mindset when planning my own server, but realizing how sleezey that was I completely deleted Rank packages and crates from my plans going forward and have forsaken the idea that "they can earn it eventually". now all packages moving forward are planned to be global. if one player makes a donation, EVERYONE gets the reward. If one player decides to be a whale, everyone else will love them for it

    The patch to disable trades was likely so they can get the server back up quick as they can and then deal with it later. The fact the staff were competent enough to immediately get the server shut down to deal with it, means the admins KNEW of these practices and an admin or multiple admins trained their staff to react accordingly. Sounds like something we do when it comes to cheaters and xrayers on the server. Have plans of action, etc. however I dont endorse servers that literally are P2W. Especially ones that fake their sales.. TF is that garbage... As for the response to possibly rollback. TBH if they were smart enough, they could of tracked their "MVP" items and had a plugin wipe unusually created items. When we did things like custom wayshrines, crates, etc We made them all uniquely tagged. So if there was more than 1 of ANY kind of them, they were immediately detected. However only did this out of protection from breaking the economy from people that like to grief on any kind of server including ones that didnt even have a store like ours xD

    Anti-rollback idea: find a player that's been on a while, and after duping, give them the items. Have them hide them on their plot for enhanced effect, and wait. Maybe even play the server normally for a bit and build something on the plot a normal player would. The staff will probably always be suspicious, but less. Once enough time passes, whenever there's a lapse in staff online, you can trickle duped items from the long-term player's plot into the economy, slowly (or quickly with the right items) damage the economy through stash distribution

  • @basedimperialism

    Hey, I have an idea that might work for permanently destroying a P2W server's economy. It would take much longer than normal, but it would be almost impossible to fix. First, you would dupe all your stuff like normal. However, instead of just dumping everything at once, you begin to sell the stuff like normal. Maybe distribute the items to some alt accounts and have THEM sell the items, too, if the server lists the name of the seller so that it doesn't look too suspicious. At first, sell the items at a normal/slightly cheaper price. People buy them like normal. Over time, start lowering the price of the items. This will artificially deflate the value of the items, but it will look at least somewhat-natural, so the admins won't notice it at first. After some time, stop lowering the prices of that item. This will be where you leave the price for a while. Next, start dumping all of your duped items. This will signal the admins that there has been duping going on, and they will rush to fix things. Make sure to draw their attention to the deflated prices of the items that you caused (edit: You could probably draw their attention to this by selling the duped items for $1 or whatever the lowest possible price of the items are, alongside other of the items priced at the "normal" deflated valve. This should make them think that the new "normal" deflated price are also duped items, and thus they will remove the "normal" priced items too). This will make them do damage control and artificially *INFLATE* the price of the item. Once they've done this, people who had previously bought the items will suddenly have tons of items that they bought cheap, and can now sell for a huge profit. The admins would have two choices to fix this: 1. Track down every single sale that was part of the deflation campaign, and remove any of the deflated items and remove whatever money the buyer may have made on reselling the items. 2. Rollback weeks upon weeks of work to a point before the items started being deflated. The first option is borderline impossible, especially on a bigger server or a server with less documentation on player trades. Effectively, the second option would be their only choice. This would DESTROY their playerbase, as people would have countless hours of time and effort erased, for what would be perceived as a single duping event that should only have caused a few hours of rollback. The best part about this is that unless the admins go full Communist and force players to trade at a set price, they will have almost no ability to stop what is happening before the damage is done, as the only way to notice the damage before the final step of the plan would be to actively watch the market/auction house, and keep track of the price of every single item sold. And, even IF they did that, reducing the price decreases and spreading the campaign over a longer period would be enough to pass under their noses.

    Do you think they wouldn't just have a hard floor on how cheap items can be sold? I don't play on servers so I actually don't know, but I can imagine it being a thing to ruin any chances of bypassing p2w. Or dupers Honestly I think if you could somehow get this to Sal or any of the others that do this kind of content, you should try. I'm paranoid someone working in one of those servers might see and go the price logging route. Again, I have no idea how realistic it is for them to track all of them, but only having so many alts and having that kind of active monitoring could shut it down early Then again, if enough people were in on it, like a decent amount who could spend those weeks...

    I only see one issue - time. The more time you spend holding onto duped items, the more likely you'll get found, caught and banned over time. Even if the stash is hidden or split up into smaller segments, moderation teams might end up cottoning on and destroying them anyway - and at that point they'll be on the lookout for duplication methods. All it takes is one curious moderator at the wrong time.

    I think the server might have a plug-in or background process that checks how many crates are sold vs how many crates are opened. If there are more crates opened than the number of crates sold, it could indicate that someone is duping crates and the admins will be notified. That's why the admins of this P2W server could act that fast. Next time you may try the good old method of waiting for a while before distributing, or just dupe something other than shop-exclusive items. P2W servers might be lazy in creating a good environment, but they always care about their money 😐

After months of working on it I started hiring staff and quickly 5ey demanded modes Like kitsPvP. I added it for them and left that shit “under construction”. After a year of having it up, with constant staff issues and low funds I had to close her up. My bungee cord server was closed with me reaching my beginning goal of no pay to win. Instead, i had just lobby pets and perks for lobby and non competitive or pvp zones. Keep this shit up, many more people would have gotten into MC had servers not been flooded with these pay to win scams. You can tell right away if the owners actually care for his players or just numbers. 😂

    Because the majority of targeted consumers are children who have little to no monetary awareness or self control using their parents money likely without their knowledge. Also fake discounts are illegal in USA idk about other countries

    @@tommytheg7911 It's been a year now and i've completely switched my opinion on this lol. I completely agree with you. These servers are ridiculous. 99% off but year round, paying for overpowered items, and advertising to children for gambling (crate keys) its borderline incentivising child gambling and that sticks with you when you're an adult (looking at CSGO child gambling and it's 'back to school' discounts on their gambling sites)

    Thank you so much for trolling on Purple Prison. I search for "Minecraft mmorpg server" once every while to find a wynncraft alternative. This server will always show up, although it is just not an mmorpg, not even an rpg to begin with. I honestly dont see why people play on this server lol. Thank you so much!

    I used to play on the Purple Prison server with my cousin and we did not spend a single cent lol. We got rich from events and killing pay to win players, but eventually got bored of it and moved on. And that 90% sale thing never goes away.

    Imagine defeating dupers by making pay to win so overpowered that even a team of dupers can't compete.
