Just to state now, this is me talking and giving my opinion. Me and ZLL will discuss this idea this week. (@TheZZL) Anyway, we haven't discussed much about it so I would have to get back to this. If we made it accessible by having a certain CT rank, then most likely it would be Officer+. Sergeant+ is possible if we change the requirements. This would encourage new players to play for awhile and learn everything before having access to this power.
Until we can shift the community and gather players that are here to play and not troll/be toxic, I honestly wouldn't hate it if it was done once in a while. Now, I would plan to add some sort of rule that would combat a problem like this. Admins would just have to enforce it.
Why would we not allow mutes? We need the conflicting to stop and allow the order to get out to everyone CLEARLY. It would be pretty silly to mute the CTs and not the Ts. Most of the top JB servers mute both sides as well. Also, they make the Ts wait longer to talk as well. Pick your poison.
I don't find this a problem. With how our current players play, I'm totally okay with CTs winning 30% of the time, especially with the maps that are most played. You need to give people a reason to play CT. If they aren't winning much, why would new players or players in general join CT if they know they will lose majority of the time?
This would be discussed.
You can call it however you want, but the truth of the matter is that our server rank is dropping like flies. The biggest and most notable difference between our servers and the top servers is Warden. Our little niche hasn't been cutting it for months. Changes have been coming, but a BIG change is practically required. As for the "shows a distrust in the playerbase to handle things themselves," cmon man... seriously? There haven't been much suggestions or discussions happening for months. All I've gotten is complaining for changes or about the state of the server. So yes, the trust to handle this issue themselves isn't high at all. That isn't me or ZZL's fault though. So please don't put a bad taste in our mouths (I know it wasn't on purpose, or atleast I hope lmao). I'm very happy and glad that you are staying and making sure JB takes the best step forward even though you don't agree with this potential change. You are the type of members we need. I'm glad you have a different opinion and are willing to step up and share them. It allows us to shape up the changes better and see what things should/shouldn't be implemented.
