Don’t you staff members get tired of doing W/E practically every day? Well I have a suggestion for the solution for the question almost everyone, including me, has asked the day they joined PCB, “Why don’t members have W/E?” And the solution is…limited W/E. Now, limited how? The main way to limit it is a block cap, limiting the number of blocks affected by a single W/E. Another way to limit is give only a few certain commands.
The counter argument would mainly be that a lot of low quality builds would spring up and people wouldn’t appreciate taking their time to make wonderful builds. My rebuttal is that people would be able to make more builds by first building it bland, but then they would have a baseline to add amazing details to. And they would be able to get warps for their cities much quicker and more people would join and help them, making the city, and the server, much better.
We don’t even trust half of our STAFF with W/E perms of any kind, let alone a player that can gain access with it in the matter of three minutes by signing up.
It’s mainly from a server resource point of view.
World edits are a big strain on the CPU and RAM of the server, so much that I would prefer if we didn’t have it at all.
The majority of the time you ever experience lag on the server is mainly due to worldedits.
If we gave world edit to everyone, we would have to limit the block cap so low it wouldn’t be worth using at all.
Not to mention people could do some serious damage either intentionally or unintentionally.
