High Rank= Be A Jerk? by MidnightBeats July 28, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

Now before I begin this post, this only applies to SOME high ranked people (not naming).

Hai everyone :D

So the other day I saw someone who had recently gotten prestige 1 treating other people really poorly, like calling them "noob" and "hacker."

Today, I got called a hacker by a gold ranked member (not prestige).

Do some people think that being a high rank allows them to suddenly be jerks to the other players? It's almost like they're rubbing it in our faces.

This is just a small rant and bit of truth, I believe.

I also don't really report these players...

Much love, Midnight.

You should report them..

MidnightBeats July 28, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

You should report them..
Probably should have, but I'm kinda disappointed either way cuz of how people act...

JOHN_CENAAAAAAAA July 28, 2014 at 11:07 PM UTC

I wouldn't quite call a Gold member or a prestiged player a "high rank", they're still a player.  I thought you were talking about senior staff or something.

In which case, you should just report them next time.

Just /report [Their IGN] [Being rude to players and disrupting our game]

If anything, the "lower ranked" non-donators and non-presitged players that are complete scrubs are more likely to be jerks, just saying. (by my experience)

FrostedCupcakez July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

I'm sorry if feel that higher ranked people are rude towards the lower ranked people, but ranks are pretty much only a title. Not all people are jerks when they are high ranked but many do act cocky. But yeah, as Sulo and Pete said above... Report them next time :)

chaibrit1 July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

i agree with sul that a gold member/a prestiged person shouldn't be considered having a "high rank". But anyways, I've only noticed that the ranked people being jerks are mainly just the new premium players. I see all the time new Emerald, Gold, and Diamond players saying bad stuff and hackusating. But possibly after a few weeks, I bet that these ranked people won't be jerks anymore because either they'll be punished or they'll change their behavior. :P

Thanks for the assurance, but remember this only applies to some people, not all....

but of course, that's how the world works...

I remember I used to get called a noob and hacker by prestige members when I used to kill them in game before I earned prestige 1. I personally didn't care the sh*t talk towards me, but I do agree that people who put down non-prestige players should be punished.

but put downs are punishable anyways even if its a prestiged person to non-prestige, non-prestige to prestiged, etc.

Porkyyy July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

It may not be because they have a rank; they might be that type of person in general.
But I agree with you 100%, players who are higher ranked than other players have no right to be rude to anyone.

PsychoStoner July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

True, but I feel that prestige players should get a little harder punishment for talking sh*t to non-prestige players, unless the non prestige player starts sh*t talking then I feel that he or she should get f*cked.

BoldAndBrash July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

Yeah I've found 2 GOLD people like this. They both said they donated so they can do what they want.

MLGtino July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

I do presume that there are some people out there who buy the rank and feel some sense of power (which they really don't have). They may feel like they are the king of the server and feel the sense to push people around like they're obsequious peasants.

Really if you see this again, report them. Don't let them bully you, or anyone else, like this. They have no right to do this just because of a donation.

jracer15 July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

The thing about this server doesn't matter what rank you are you gain respect and are treated equally, unlike Hypixel if your an VIP/MVP they treat you rude.  If some rank decides to change that idea they should definitely be reported

Mooch24 July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

Donating and/or prestiging gives no extra benefits.

You can go ahead and report any player that harasses you :<

TinyNitai July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

This is a reaaally crappy aspect about donator ranks, I mean, you can expect rudeness from anyone but donators should specially be careful about how they treat fellow players as they are in many cases very involved and active in our community, I say, when you purchase a donor rank you should vow to be respectful  and friendly, a good sport, not like a term or condition but some sort of symbolic oath

Howsie July 29, 2014 at 12:07 AM UTC

All users, regardless of being a donator or not are treated equally. If you see a donator abusing other users you must immediately report them. This is also the same for staff members.

smitdalt July 29, 2014 at 1:07 AM UTC

I really don't think many people think they have more power because they donated. (Although some do.) Some people, whether donor or not, get frustrated while played and feel the need to take out their anger on others. I had a particularly bad day on Avicus today and felt like raging alot, but I think I held it together pretty well xP

Princezz_Dubstep July 29, 2014 at 1:07 AM UTC

As stated above in the previous posts, you can always report them for harassing/bullying. As we will take care of them! ^.^

People with ranks/prestiges/Mod Prefixes, are all the same. No one is superiour than others. We are all equal.

Remember, if you feel offended/harassed in ANY way that makes you feel uncomfortable, feel free to contact one of the Staff with evidence (Report works just as well!), and we'll help you! ^-^

goldenwalrus909 July 29, 2014 at 1:07 AM UTC

I can see where you're coming from, but try not to be prejudice. I'd say there are the same amount, if not less, donors who are jerks rather than normal players. They just kind of stand out more because of their rank. Some donors can be kind of spoiled, though, so yeah.. It bugs me, too :c

KooDaLord July 29, 2014 at 1:07 AM UTC

Not in my house.

chaibrit1 July 29, 2014 at 1:07 AM UTC

lol

Cezbla July 29, 2014 at 2:07 AM UTC

I have to admit I used to do this when I first got prestige but then it kinda means nothing after prestige 3 then today I got prestige 5 lvl 50 then I was siked but it is the phase everyone goes through it and just to be honest everyone here donor or not has rubbed it in someones faces either because they got it before someone they were virtually competing with or that they hate and want to rub it in soon it will be to die calm down I don't think this is a reporting matter until this gets to swearing and threatening then feel free to report or contact me on skype [Cezbla] And Ill come screen shot it report it on the forums and I am sure the staff would be glad to help anyone getting threatened or seeing someone getting bullied, bullying is a big thing in this world so i think if someone can stop it I think they would try best regards

I would love this for anyone, in that case, but I feel like that would be really hard to control and would lose it's meaning. 
I love the idea, though :D

It makes me feel sorry how people think how "We are a donator, we're basically one less from mod so u better listen to us" then they get in deep shiz and get banned and rage, And all that money down the drain... to us :D

IMO people are jerks full stop. :p

Of course. I don't really care about them bullying me. I just find it extremely stupid to believe that people who purchase a new rank believe they are inferior to other users.

Of course, I've never seen staff members harass others...

Carryinq July 29, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

 I believe that you should just report them, then move on. You can't stop the way people act to things.

goldenwalrus909 July 29, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

Yeah, that's why I try to be so nice.. to even it out xD

Carryinq July 29, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

Yeah, but everyone does do it sometimes (cheeky face).

Ranks are of course, only a title... but either way, people use them as a sign of being able to do whatever they want and treat whoever they want to however they want.

MissCarmel July 31, 2014 at 6:07 PM UTC

This is kinda stereotypical XD

ballzi July 31, 2014 at 9:07 PM UTC

its just our human instinct. like say australia pm is higher than others so he acts differently. but if they are say you suck and i am better than you, thats a case of jerk
