Consider removing /tp and /tpnpc in survival #69

FAdadada commented 5 years ago

Both of these commands contribute to unnaturally immense game progression and player complaints in survival.

Players have used /tpnpc to: • Teleport to celestial pillars • Capture bait • To teleport to the truffle worm and capture it whilst in escape or not • List all mob entities in the world • Deduce the location of all players (for those hiding their position using pvp) • Teleport to an entitiy near another player without regard of the other player's consent (This essentially bypasses /tpallow) • Teleport to bosses • Teleport to vendor npcs

Players have used /tp to: • Teleport to other players without consent (albeit there is /tpallow) • Teleport to other players who have saved their spot by teleporting to the said individual • Teleport to other players fighting a boss in order to continue a boss fight • Teleport to themselves after death in order to get back to where they were after dying • Teleport to other players with malicious intent to perform actions such as thievery or player killing

In lieu of of possible changes, consider allowing the use of wormhole potions to all players. • It could be used similarly as the commands listed above • It can only work when players go on the same team, essentially acting as /tpallow • Limits usage of teleporation for the wormhole potion needs to be created. • Promotes underground fishing • Promotes wormhole potion trade I do not know if this is possible to allow all players to use wormhole, but it would help fill in the niche the previously mentioned commands did. I do not know if /tp and /tpallow are intended as core assets of survival which should not be removed.

Removing of /tp and /tpallow from survival does has a point and using wormholes as a substitute is a great idea although since the foundation of the survival trading system is basically trash bins and scams are very easily done, this idea might be pushed back a bit

I think what someone mentioned before about the tp request is a better option. It means that you have to allow people permission to teleport to you, I think if an allowed list is added to that for people you trust, this means that:

  1. Non-Crew can't teleport still, but Crew cannot teleport to them by default either
  2. People don't need to remember to allow/disallow teleport
  3. Between trusted people, it will work essentially the same

Even more so if it overrides /tp itself, then people don't need to remember or know any new commands. Then we can block /tpnpc since I don't believe it should be available in survival.

Quinci has made a change recently that allowed non-crew to use /tpallow
