I mean now you have to vote to get a title that doesn't show you as a newbie that most people of higher ranks ignore and don't socialize with anyway, but back to the point the fact is that this is meant to be a fun place for people to hang out where you earned your rank through respect not through voting and being forced to. Players should have a chance to say what they think of the server before you force them into something.
I know this mostly looks at the voting and players being told what to do, not to express their own opinions and whether they should vote themselves or not (here I go again...). I just think that when I first joined it was lovely and peaceful, now the server is run my plugins and money. Where has the friendly vibe of the spam of 'Welcomes!' in chat now? I seem to think like I'm the only one who does that now.
I understand that some of you will most likely disagree, especially the staff, but these are just my observations since when I joined.
When i came back after around 6 months break i found the server strange with the new ranks. I remember having some chats about it when i was staff and i still think it's a good & fair system. The players win and the server wins. Voting helps the server grow and that means more fresh players joining hometown, that's good for everyone. It's fair for players because at times some players were not getting promoted or missed out for a single reason or two and some took way longer than others. At least with the new ranks players will be able to gain quite a few ranks before coming to a stop. At that point the players at the highest voter rank will be considered from to time to time for promotion by staff. And that's a good system in my opinion as it's a bit of both worlds and it works for everyone.
As for new players and new topics. I have seen it many times over the few years i have been playing. Each new group brings something new. Like meeting new people in real life, it takes a little time to get to know them and in the end getting on well with them and making new friends.
