Why was /buy and /upgrade removed? The full Story

Recently the feature of /buy and /upgrade in eggwars were removed. Here is almost all the context off this continuing issue. Part 1: The Post On 8/25/26 a post was made on discord by a user saying this: Eggwars: Restrict the use of /buy to encourage strategy Keep the game’s original design and gameplay. Keep strategy and decision-making important. Keep risk and reward as part of the game. Restrict /buy, don’t remove it completely. Keep the game healthy for the long term. Respect the developers’ game design decisions. Preserve the game’s original design, keep strategy and risk meaningful, balance convenience with good game design, and help the game stay complete and enjoyable in the long run. This post got a lot of backlash, the maker's only words he repeated were "unfair" "cheating" and "unbalanced" However if you have played eggwars you know the game is balanced, you know that no feature is unfair due to rank or leaderboard perks not existing. Lastly, on discord suggestion posts people will often react with a :fire emoji if they like it, this post got 4 of them (below average) However, very very rarely posts will get a few thumbs down reactions, this post had 20 of them, which is the most downvotes we have seen on discord. (Just some context) Part 2: The Addition In early November 2026 (3-5th) The feature of /buy and /upgrade were removed from eggwars (they would be added back a few days later but only usable at your own base) You might blame Vector for this, listening to the guy's unstable aurgements, however he has nothing to be blamed for. Vector, as you know, is very busy, and when he looks at posts he is not going to read all the other messages, and he most likely doesn't look at the reactions, meaning all he saw was a command was in eggwars and this post said it was unbalanced and cheating. So obviously he removed it. Anyone would in that situation. Part 3: Fight back The first thing that notified me of the removal was a discord user's message pinging Vector about it expressing his disapointment. I had to go to school, however I came back and made this post: Bring back /buy A post was made a while ago about removing this, it was reacted with 4 and 13 yet it still got added. Reasons it should get added: Obviously most of the community doesn't want it. The people who upvoted the post had a combined win total of less than 1000 (maybe even 500), All the eggwars grinders do not want this. I like /buy cuz It's what gave Miniblox eggwars it's identity, it's what set it apart, and you just removed it just to make it more like hypixel or something after some non active minibloxers suggested it. What is sad is that you add that post just cuz it's "not normal for eggwars" after some guy made it, yet all ehan's and my posts which actually are bugs get ignored which also have way more upvotes. I pinged Vector after this, as you can see I am very sad about the update. This post currently has 23 fire reactions which is the 2nd most in the miniblox discord's history behind a 43 upvoted post made by Bob about non account chat access. (Be mindful it got 23 upvotes in less than 4 days) I then pinged Vector in a private channel with more info about /buy basically summarizing it all to him and making sure to get his attention. I then talked with Bob (Who was for the removal) And pretty much showed that there was no reason for the removal. Also all other mods/helpers showed support to my message as well. Part 4: Next Steps As you know, /buy is not back yet. I am planning to make a discord post called: The /buy Proof Which will be a description of EVERY single item in eggwars and why /buying that item does not break the game (same with /u) As for anyone who wants to help, any feedback of the eggwars experience, the commmunities thoughts, or your own thoughts will be apreciated. I made this post cuz I had a lot of time and I wanted to summarize months of that messages in 1 post for the sleekplan members and as future reference. I hope everyone has a wonderful day, just know I will not stop until /buy gets added back, I may not be a dev, but I will try my best, for all the community. I hope this helps!
