Do you want RANKS?

In my opinion, I think that REWARDS are a better idea than ranks. This is because rewards will not give the player an unfair advantage. What should happen is that a player gets a very small reward for doing something. For example, a new player might get a reward of 20 logs of wood for playing on the server for more than two hours. They might receive a single piece of lapis for playing on the server for more than two days. Each reward might come with an explanation, for example when a player is rewarded with the lapis piece the game will tell the player about stuff like /sell and how lapis is the best item to sell in the economy (if the player has not yet bothered to read all the signs ). Rewards should be meant to encourage the player to keep playing on the server until they actually like it, the last reward will probably be given to the player for playing on the server for more than a week. After that, the rewards stop and players are technically not considered "new" anymore. There are however a few differences from rewards and from ranks. First of all, rewards are NOT commands! They are only small items given to new players as a reward for staying on the server for a set amount of time. This is designed in a way where neither the new players or the old players have advantage of one another unlike ranks where older players get some commands that new players do not. With that being said, older players do not get new colors of name or special kits or anything like that. Basically, the rewards stop coming after the first week of playing on the server for the new players. The only real purpose of rewards is to attract the attention of players once they join the server. This is also pretty much the same thing with kits, since after a set amount of time a player actually DOES stop getting ranked up. Only difference is that rewards are slightly less op and will not really last with the player for a while.
