The /buy Proof (A republishing from discord)

Note: Discord have a character limit so copying back from here will be difficult, I will make changes as I copy. This is a detailed summary of every item in the game and why /buy doesn't break them, and /u. It will also refute the "fast bridge eggs and pearls argument" Blocks: (I put this in 1 section to conserve space) wool is not harmful, /buying it will not break the game, be a surprise to players, or give you a giant advantage, It's just a handy thing you can /buy when you are low on blocks with iron. Clay and glass and wood all used for defense in the base. Endstone Also used in the base, but also rushing someone with obi while you have nothing, then getting good kills, /buying endstone & diamond pick, then being able to get the egg is a crazy play. obi only for defense, maybe if u wanna trap some1, but not game breaking if u just /buy it. Swords Just having to be aware that your enemy could kill you, get your resources, then get a better sword is good game sense, helps you to stash items, and it also gives you more discisions when thinking about /buying stuff, also when going to rush a team, knowing when to get a d sword not d armor for better optimizing is good instead of having 5 min to think while you go back to base. This applies to the bow and arrows to, they are even less /buyed. kb stick currently useless with kb enchant, but having the sense to /buy a kb stick on the right maps, and in good positions adds another aspect to the game. pots those who don't waste ems to spend an extra second buying speed or jump are smart, however a speed or jump potion will not break the game. all tools Early game when you rush a team with no tnt, clutch kills allowing you to /buy iron tools make some of my best plays, you might say "having the ability to get those from kills is unfair" however if your oppenent defends well and stashes recources it makes it harder for you to get the egg. tnt gaps milk fireball water If your at mid or atop anothers base buying these and knowing which are better requires game sense, doesn't break the game. just getting that extra fireball or gap can save your game, it requires being aware on your part, but it also is on your opponent to stash recources pearls and eggs This is the most contraversal one however I have made the: Official e pearl/bridge egg paragraph: Early game, all these fast rushes, "It's so unfair!" Easy way to look at it: when some1 gets to mid very fast they will get 32/48 blocks and go, meaning no tnt. So (as I said b4) as long as you have 1 wool defense then it requires the bridge egger (on the top of ur base) to make a play and stall (ik it's annoying, but as the usually staller it's a very difficult and skillful position) also pearls are bad, if u get the layer down, they pearl, lose hp, have no time to think, and they waited for 4 ems instead of 2. If they have tnt then that should give you plenty of time to get to mid yourself. Next is pvp, if you lose fast cuz they pearl or egg you then just kill everyone, then that's not unfair or unbalanced gameplay, it's called them being good or you being bad (note: not directed at any1) so if it's doubles, they pearl on you, then beat u in pvp and win, then you have yourself to blame, they were just better. Armor: just get a armor upgrade after killing an oppenent who didn't stash their recources, Kills require skill. /upgrade it's simply just not unbalanced, on infinity map (quads) holding mid with full leather armor and 5 blocks is skill, going and /upgrading yourself, having to fight multiple ppl. Also just bridging to side island and getting a quick upgrade is good, this just makes it all slower and gives the game a sort of drag IN CONCLUSION: If you stash your items, get a fast defense, just play solid in general, you will not get destroyed very fast unless it is a very good play on their part, Also if you understand gameflow, know holding technique. when to bridge, where to bridge, what to /u what to /buy who has what, who should you target? all this and you will understand that /buy is not bad.
