you

I can only see Filmora lol

I agree with cepheid. I also believe that if it is designed to be rare then the player should work hard on it. Diamond is rare so it should be hard to acquire, so is shulker shells etc. Then from there let the economy of the server, which should be based on supply and demand dictate the conversions to other resources. The server is vanilla survival, rank 1. It hurts me to see its becoming creative by giving creative items (eggs, spawn villagers with imbalance trades)

@Yelloms @CraftyMyner, I guess my major source of distress are my builds, which are only on this server. If there were a way for me to pay for you to save the chunks that include my base, so that I can insert them into my single player world, I would be LESS opposed to a reset. Of course I knew from the beginning the finite existence of this map, but for me, I just don't realize how much I'm going to invest, until it is already invested. It would be like watching hours, even days, of my life disappearing in an instant.
.

I remember I was like this when 1.8 reset. I strongly opposed the reset then and even suggest moving the chunk of my build to the new map. But when 1.9 was released I started again, even improve 2 or 3x my builds. I want to believe Im a pretty decent builder myself, at this point I would love to see everyone in equal footing with a reset. Even sacrificing what I already have which is quite huge IMO. See my base:

Im not offended by this comment. As a matter of fact I've been doing that, R4. Though I still love crafty. Its my first vanilla server. And I spent most of my playing time in the whole of Minecraft time here. Im just stating in my own viewpoint what I see on those servers that I feel I dont see in crafty. Thats why Im stating them here. I dont expect these to be implemented actually. At least I voice these so someone (staff or player) would think about it.
And in my opinion what makes CM is the community. Second are the spawn or features that crafty and staff have to offer. And these suggestions are not entirely way out of the line.

Im pro to removing spawner eggs. I have some spawner eggs too - mooshroom cows. And I realized they are unnatural.

My opinion, SERVER RESET and fix everything that makes the economy of the server broken. As a pro-vanilla player I would like to see this settings/features:

1. mob-griefing enabled
2. TP to/from HOME and SPAWN area only
3. NO TPA.
4. No nether roof travel
5. No villager trader in spawn OR just some basic trader (default vanilla villagers)
6. No creative items in crafty crates such as spawner eggs
7. Set home using beds not books - link text
8. Optional - fire spread enabled

I know this is quite a lot and I dont think its the right post, sorry for that. Just my opinion.

Sofa, you need to make videos of these epic builds.

Lol. I havent tried the parkour in spawn. Hell, I dont even know where it is.

If they have my base coordinates because of unwanted TP, then at least I want them to work on getting to my base by walking or any sort of travel. The way I see it, there are some noobs in the game where they just request tpa to you hoping you make a mistake. (Good thing I havent fallen to that kind of shitty trap, but I know some who fell from it) With beds I can see where they set home and I could just break it and theyll work hard to get to my place.
