Priority System

How many times has a game just been about to start and you get the message "Kicked to make space for Donor" or the servers are busy and you click on a sign as soon as it says looby and the servers already full. The idea is that when you get kicked or you click on the join lobby sign very shortly after you can join you get told the server is full. So maybe a system should be that people have a priority level (they get a priority point whenever one of the above 2 things happen) and if you have priority points you kick the person with the lowest priority points on the server. Note when you kick someone with your priority points you loose your priority points.

I know some java and the below code is a way you could in ttheory do it (I don't know anything about the minecraft dev api)

public int kick_player(player p1, player p2) { //requires 2 player variables to check against
if (p1.points > p2.points) {
//do some code here to kick player 2
return 1; //means that kicking was success
}
else if (p1.points == p2.points){ //have the same priority points
//code to kick player 2
return 1; //kicking was success
}
else { //player 2 has greater points
return 0;
}
}
/**
* Some examples of how it may work.
*
* p1.points = 10;
* p2.points = 10;
* p2.points += kick_player(p1,p2); //p2 now equals 11
*/

You donate to get priority. That won't change.

I'm not a donor and I can easily join games within a minute, even at peak hours.

There are what, 200 US servers now, and I think the other regions have lots too. Just join the higher number servers.
I don't have donor and that's how I get on servers.

The fact that donors get priority probably isn't going to change, cuz without that, the majority of people who buy donor would probably stop, that means no more money for MCSG, which means sad face.

The donor system would collapse if we moved to this type of priority system.

I guess thats a reasonable point. BUt i play on eu and at peak times as soon as server finishes restarting it instantly is full

It is a cool concept, and I like you actually added a way in which it could work but I doubt they will change the system as atm it encourages people to donate

yes thats what I originally thought, but maybe the priority system would require somthing like 10 points to kick somone
