This is not really important, I just thought it would be cool. I understand if Crafty never adds it.

Meh... But if they use X-Rays on single player, then that means that they have a hacked client already installed on their system...

Yes but sometimes people accept certain requests by accident, thinking that they are from another player.
This doesn't seem right because the player is not choosing to invite them, they are clicking the wrong accept button by accident.

Is the advantage really that great though? Its not like they can see other people's bases, just theirs.
I understand the concern that they might be able to find ores in single player and mine them in multiplayer, but if they do so, they would have to first find them in single player and then somehow go to the exact same place in multiplayer to mine them. This seems like a very tedious task that few would go through.

How about we ban acquiring player coordinates through use of tp?

Some players will wait for someone in the chat to say "tp to me" and then tp to that person to try and trick them into accepting their request by accident, then if they succeed they will not attack the player because of the rules, but save the coordinates for later and get back there by other means to raid or grief. I believe that this should be banned.

All the people who do this will disagree.

It would be so cool if we could get downloads of our bases! We could test things like defenses or decorations in single player, then build them in multiplayer.

We need the server Olympic Games... Or the Crafty Games!

A good faction has people dedicated to building, farming, fighting, commanding, and leading. With the distribution of tasks, things can be accomplished at a much faster rate than any single player could. Building could be finished sooner because more people can work on them at the same time, multiple people can be farming in auto farms at the same time, and multiple people can be fighting or defending at the same time. A faction with good player will always be stronger than a single player. It is just simple math.

Not if the faction also has auto farms lol.
