Why is X-raying bad? : X-raying is a shortcut around many hours of hard work. Hard work that other players actually commit to. It breaks the normal function of the game to give the person doing it an obscene advantage. It places more work on the people playing the game without cheating.
How does X-raying affect other players? : There are multiple ways that X-raying impacts the players not cheating. The markets can be flooded, lowering prices and imbalancing the economy. X-ray packs can also be used to infiltrate and grief other players bases if they're not protected. It also leaves less resources around for other players who might happen upon them honestly. When you cheat to get everything you need, you end up not buying items you would have playing normally, removing revenue for traders.
How does X-raying affect the server’s economy? : This is something I understand less, but I know that sudden increases in supply lower prices. Shop owners may be adjusting to people bringing in lots of ores, only to realize their prices were fine, it's just that someone is cheating. Then players going to buy the goods are having to pay more than they normally would. Also like I mentioned above, it reduces the need for the player to buy items from others. There's really a whole lot of things that could go wrong.
If you really need an item what is a better way of getting it than using X-Ray? : Asking one of the hundreds of super kind players that you all are :< Moving forward I will just get everything I need regularly. The plan now is to farm everything en masse. I have a decent setup started, easy to expand.
What have you learned from this ban? : A lot actually, one that I will be promptly caught should I ever try to break the rules again. But more importantly, I learned that this server matters to me, not being able to hop on has made me pretty sad, and I know I only have myself to blame. I've been searching for a place for a long while, and when I finally find a good one I go and mess it all up. Most communities would have just banned me outright and perhaps not even allowed an appeal. It's a whole lot of trouble to go through for staff, and I'd like to end with an appology to you. If you give me a second chance, I will not let you down.
Edit 2 : Ack I didn't see that you wanted five sentences each, I will update again shortly. I'm a little busy and flustered atm but I will do it soon.
Edit 3 : Okay I added more! Some of them I couldn't quite get five, I ended up repeating myself a bit. I'm no good at writing anything more than a small paragraph. If you'd like to have a chat I promise to continue being honest.
Edit 4: I also just remembered that I got some enchanted books with the cheat money. I think they're in one of my chests, I'll hand them over as well. With the XP room and my sugar cane farm, making books won't be an issue.
Also I'm sorry I disappeared while you were trying to talk to me in game, my cable got cut when a new fence was going in, comcast won't be around to fix it til wednesday. I have kept it up with electrical tape and pliers, but it keeps going down. Must be Karma
