Should non-supporters be able to use dispensers to place TNT? What about TNT minecarts?

  1. You remember all the worry back in October about the new potential for someone to grief with Withers? I haven't heard of a single incident.

    Given the time and expense involved and mentality of your basic griefer, I don't see anyone doing it unless they want to go out in a big way. If that's the case they'll find a way to do it anyway.

    I think we're worrying about something that will be very rare if it ever happens at all.

  2. And you were in favor of giving everyone in EMC unrestricted access to do this?
    *shakes head*
    I was beginning to think you'd completely taken leave of your senses.
  3. It was you telling me that the map argument and TNT in general was not what the point of this thread was. I suppose I was just arguing for TNT (which I still believe in) in a thread called "TNT in 1.5". So I decided to look it up. Very eye opening. I was not aware people can just dispense incredibly large quantities of TNT at the push of a button.
  4. More like a flip of a lever:p

  5. Sorry for that, I thought I've kept the relevant parts, but I should have checked twice - I've edited it now.

    Aren't griefers usually also rather lazy people?
    I think we agree on this point.
    How many blocks of TNT would one need to do that or a significant damage in that way?
    How many rupees are that?
    Price to break 6400 blocks with Eff 5 pick: about 2k
    Price to break 6400 blocks with TNT: about 28k
    Who gets the most rupees without effort in the game?
    Hmm...

    I'm afraid that you could be right about what "donating" and/or "supporting" means for most of supporters.

    Treating a playmate like that?
    What kind of fair-play is that?
    What kind of culture and mind set?

    C'mon people, in what age do we live?
    That ass kisser privileged classes crap does not work, that's known to be lame for more than a century! At least!
    (And double-checked confirmed as lame since fall of "communism" or "real socialism" ...)

    As I wrote, if the dangers of TNT really far outweigh the use and fun, then why not ban it completely?
    Reducing to diamond supporter only reduces absolute use, but does not reduce any dangers.
