Big shoutout to Antbrix for being such a chill guy. Make sure to subscribe! Join my non-p2w smp: og-network.net Discord - discord.gg/G7zq6NPZnM

Props to the owner for actually listening and removing it unlike many server that was duped

I liked the part of the video when themisterepic said "its dupin time" then duped all over the place.

I don't think I've ever seen someone remove a pay to win aspect of a server. No matter how bad the duping is, they just roll back the server usually and then go back to usual. Great job on getting them to remove lootboxes

You and the rest of the Anti-P2W community are GREAT at making change. Thank you all for what you do

If only there were non p2w ways to earn profit frequently, as there’s not many ways to keep the server up and profitable

I actually really respect the admin for being chill with it, despite everything

I think it's interesting to see how hard it can be to run a large server without some form of monetization. Even if I can't condone the p2w mechanics, that makes servers going in that direction a lot more understandable. That said, I think it would be alright to have memberships that give perks like having areas or villages named after you or something. Some kind of in-game perk that doesn't give you a material advantage, just bragging rights.

The fact you got them to remove loot boxes is crazy.

I understand that some of these servers do struggle financially for the reasons mentioning the video, but that Mystery Box is an example of taking things way too far. I'm glad it got removed, thank you guys for pushing for the change.

A niche that might actually be nice for you to fill would be interviews with server owners so players can get the other side of the story too. You probably don't have to dupe for it either.

The fact the server owner was like "Yep," instantly when asked to remove the mystery box, mad respect

I had a friend who ran a server with loot boxes and other stuff you paid for, his reasoning for it was actually good because 100% of the proceeds from the purchases went to helping those pay off college loan debts and paying for lunches at the local elementary school. the loot boxes only gave you food and basic to advanced resources and there was a 24 hour limit to how many you could open

I’m more surprised that you have been able to find so many dupes

I feel like the best way to distribute keys after you duped them would be to just to put them in chests all around the world at various location, you wouldn't be able to see the results but it would be a mess for the admins to regulate if it's literally everywhere

props to them for having the integrity to remove the mystery box. 99.9% of other servers would've just banned you and moved on with their lives

Thumbs up to the people actually advising others not to take the keys and in fact burning them. That's the kind of honesty I like to see in a server.

Gotta give the owner for handling it all quite well and being receptive.

Them having PIG+ ranks available to buy killed me inside. Technoblade doesn't deserve this.

I love these duping videos. Keep it up!

My thought is they will come back to it eventually once the story calms down.

keep up the fight against P2W, been watching you, The Horizon, SalC1, and The Duper Trooper for a long while now. Proud of y’all 🤝🤝👑

Imagine that the reason he was all chill and complient is that because he knew if he did this he would become a legendary owner and people will join his server more because of it on top of that its free advertisement.

Doing god's work stopping these borderline scammers 🙏🙏🙏

This is the channel I go to when I look for quality and reliable content, even the minecraft server is top tier. It's impressive how everything I've seen from you is of quality, all of your videos are well made and enjoyable, thank you for holding standards to yourself and making this one of the most reliable channel on the platform! (Don't know why but I felt like commenting this here).

Please expose SuperSMP. The owner is Chxrlie aka Glenn MC - he originally made a p2w server called melon then sold it, made another server called skycube which was a scam, money grab and go and now he made supersmp which has a sale since the day it opened he clearly hasnt learned from the other 2 p2w servers he made and needs a lesson

used to be a mod for this server and the reason for my demotion just makes this video so worth the watch

GG to AntBrix.. whether he did it because he knew he was on YT or just because he knew it was wrong he still did it. I like to think his backstory consists of actually being a good guy and not wanting the Crate in the first place but Zedar told him they are doing it no matter what.. so when TheMisterEpic came along it was the perfect time for him to get rid of it! You sir are the server owner we all need.

I honestly might check out the server since they removed the loot boxes. You know, to show them there's more interest when there's less gambling

Mad respect to the owner for admitting fault and fixing his mistake. Makes me actually wanna play there, unlike most of the videos.

fun fact: quite a few countries have implemented laws relating to digital gambling, and the complete lack of transparency on the mystery crate I think runs it afowl of Dutch, Belgian, and UK gambling laws.

I'd be really curious to hear your ideas on *good* ways to monetize and support a minecraft server without having to rely on pay-to-win tactics like ambiguous loot crates.

You guys are the unsung heroes to parents everywhere.

I literally binged all the duping videos a few days ago. Ive been so ready for this!!

Thank you so much for doing this to ZedarMC. We needed this. They make clickbait youtube shorts on their channel to trick little children, I also once took their staff application, the questions are extremely predatory and are not related to minecraft at all.

I love when he does this, you should team up with horizon sometime again!

owners need to understand the problem isn't in making money, it's the methods they go about using and how predatory and exploitative it is

I left a comment on a Duper Trooper community post explaining my disappointment with dupes being essentially wasted by simple rollback changes. Seeing the results of this video now, I'm really surprised, and I've just gotta say good job. You've outdone yourselves with this video.

It is so hard to find a decent server that doesn't have some degree of P2W, to the point I don't even try anymore. I either do singleplayer or host small whitelist servers from a spare laptop for friends. I don't have any problem with cosmetic-only items being sold for a few dollars to help with server costs, but the moment that that one can in anyway turn IRL money into something advantageous in-game, it is a deal-breaker to me. It is only worse when the things they can buy are unattainable by other means, or breaking gamemodes, such as offering /fly for people in a survival game.

I like how PP is so notorious for their p2w tactics and insane prices that finding a dupe glitch on the server is like finding gold in a mine

gotta love watching these servers get what they deserve

I have a server, and the only thing you can buy are that sometimes we have special events with actual cash prizes. Let's say 1 euro to enter, cash prize of 50. Usually the money given and earned are around the same, but its really fun and it doesn't ruin the server for others

as an og on that server who hasn't been on in a very long while (i joined around when the server just started with only the survival world available) i was very sad that they have added so many pay-to-win features honestly and have stopped playing at all pretty much because of it

finally, a truly good ending to one of these kinds of videos

Respect to the owner for removing the crate genuinely respectable

My little brother is addicted to this sever when I could see that it’s an obvious scam, but he wouldn’t believe me for some reason. Cool that you did this.

that would be a great topic to cover, finding the funds to keep a server up. wouldn't have to be directly related to minecraft, as a lot of games that have community servers need to find ways to keep their servers running.

Fire Vid bruh yw for the dupe, my dad should of hopped on

Great work I hate these server so thanks for at least trying to spread the word and put an end to pay to win servers.

The good ending. Props to the owner for seeing his mistake :))

I don't play this game at all and sometimes can't tell what's happening, but it's still very satisfying watching these videos.

8:00 I wonder why he was so incredibly eager to remove the mystery lootbox?

Lol

bro that owner is legendary, he just made his server's revanue so much better simply by being so chill and understanding

Hey there, i just found your channel here, I have to say im hooked on your content! i cant stop watching them.

You never disappoint

Imagine if you duped a bunch of items, hid them, and then distributed them about a month later so if they do a rollback, then you could just do it again.

I love these videos, Keep on duping!

This is glorious, I love it. This is high quality trolling 🤣

I’d like to say, it may be my fault for the fly perk, as I begged for it back in the early days of the server, hope you see this, never expected the server to get so popular 😢.

Given that there's two owners and one of them is chill and the other one named the whole server after themselves we can probably guess their roles in running the server and how the dynamic between the two plays out

Dude what. This actually worked for once. good job guys!

As fun as some P2W servers can be as a free player, I LOVE seeing the economy of a P2W getting crushed. Glad to see it make a change though, hopefully not the last one. Sure, still P2W, but less so without a mystery crate. Hope to see some things about some P2W servers I've played once someday!

Have you thought about duping on a P2W server and leaving the items on it for a week or two so it gets stuck in the back up build and impossible to sort with server roll backs

Its nice to hear there's a great owner! Thank you for your service @TheMisterEpic!

How do I dupe I wann stop pay to win servers aswell

I think this was probably one of the nicest and best videos! Nice one!

This owner is actually a G. We all know that running servers with no IRL payment methods is just a cash pit and doomed to fail. So huge props for removing the most prolific version of gambling, and having the decency to sit and chat with you guys about it. Mad respect

If your server can't stay afloat without p2w, it's not a viable server. It's not an excuse to add p2w.

yooooooooooo

Other p2w server owners: Noooooo!! we need money!! Antbrix: Yeah sure

If only more admins were this understanding and negotiable.

I’ve only ever seen ONE server manage to do lootcrates without being P2W. You can easily get the keys without paying for them, and it’s fairly easy to get those kinds of items without the keys. Basically every notable perk can be obtained by ranking up by spending in-game money. Most of the donator stuff is like titles, effects, cosmetics, etc., which are still fairly desirable.

This is how people work things out. Middle ground and understandings while accepting mistakes.

A perfect video on duping like away, love these videos !❤

As a former Zadar player, it was barely even P2W after the March 2022 update, all the items suddenly became shit.

Seeing the Admin go physically break the mystery crate was great

For everyone asking how hard it is to run a server like this: It isn't hard at all when you have a team of staff members doing all the work for you. The hard part is just keeping it up. However, I've ran servers before and never had to depend on donations to keep it up. Servers that use donations as the sole way to keep the server running are the ones causing the issues. They have no interest in making a game people want to play. They only want money. Servers like this are the ones that know they need the money to run, but can get the money from different sources than just gambling and P2W. The moment you use either of those to run a server is the moment your server means nothing but money. If you as the owner can't run the server with what you make, that's the problem. You're trying to run a server that's larger than you can handle. You don't need thousands upon thousands of player slots, which is the primary cause of high prices on these servers. The second cause is the amount of things you're putting into it. If you're loading up your server storage and memory with plugins and such to the point where you need to keep upping the amount, you're being dumb. At the end of the day, running a server is more about running what you can over running what you want. If you can't monetarily support what you *want* to run, you need to settle for what you *can* run until you can afford to increase it. Expecting donations to be the sole way of the server running is absurd. You are expecting the players to pay for YOUR server. Donations are optional, expecting them to be mandatory to keep running doesn't work.

LOVED THE VID KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!❤

Some of these kids are gonna grow up and have gambling addictions. It's servers like these that are causing it, hats off to the owner levelling with you on your request and great job coming up with a way to thwart the lower ranks that would have solved the issue by banning you and moving on.

I tried out this server to see how it worked. I think I might've seen you on the Player list. This was at least between 3 weeks and a week ago. I'm going to check out the server again to test it out.

Me and a friend had a small server. We also had a crate system like this. Not as pay2win as this, but you could get some advantages. Might be morally questionable, but it was the only way to make money and maintain the server. We also had ranks, but the crates were way more profitable. We never actually wrote black numbers, but the crates helped us, to run the server a bit longer.

Kudos to the owner for removing the mystery crate, but all the crates should have been removed.

I have a screenie with Aweexa from MelonSMP, didn’t realize their staff in Zedar aswell

Nice video glad your being honest at the end

seems like the owners genuinely want the server to be a good atmosphere. cool

I love your amazing videos, they're the best! Keep up the great work!

the players burning the keys deserve a better server

This is the best server owner reaction I've ever seen. As a server owner myself, I'd never even do such a thing though. My server is invite-only but completely free. I only take voluntary donations from my players and 100% of the money goes to server upgrades.

Thanks for not making it super drawn out like other vids like this

At 1:03 you can see my build, a last monolith that stood the test of time over there. Before I stopped being their builder.

Looking forward to more content like this!

I’ve played this server and I’m glad you brought changes to it

How to make a non pay to win and fair crates system (serious): Make a crate with no RNG, it just gives you the items inside. all of them. Make it so you cant buy ANYTHING that can allow you to open more faster Make the keys for it craftable, Maybe just a tad expensive like 2 a diamond blocks and a tripwire hook Done.

omg i actually play zedarmc to "borrow" kits from peoples bases. i remember seeing thedupertrooper player head at spawn and i was so confused. nice to see some servers actually taking action properly now

Its nice to see the different reaction of people who got the keys. I specially liked those who passed on the free keys. Also down with the cashgrab games! :]

Honestly idk how. But I'd somehow make a system where those who pay can only attack other's who have also paid by using a tag system & same for not being able to go into non paid zones. One solves the problem of players having an advantage over those who don't pay & the other protects either zones or claimed house's by those who don't have the tag for when you buy something.

I swear Los Suenos citizens have the survival instinct of a brick when they see a squad of 4 heavily armed SWAT agents.

Finally you got to this server, i saw this and was like, what the hell

Someone should get all of your heads (or the head of a skin that is you) and then make the pedestal again and have an admin make them indestructible as commemoration.
