Honestly in my opinion, i dont like the idea of a stats reset, for a number of reasons, but i want to address some of the other concerns and views being brought up as well.

1) Something i noticed during the Staff QnA is that they always said go vote on the poll. Now, The Poll is a debatable/controversial of getting your view across, mainly because it is so easily influenced by other people. Lets say a popular youtuber, tomahawk for example, (Not saying he has done this, merely an example) could tell his 150k odd or whatsoever, to vote no or vote yes, and his fans would follow it because they like making their idols happy. This of course makes the voting unreliable, and therefore shouldnt really be taken as a main voice of the people. no Doubt it probably will, as they isnt much else to use.

2) The Legacy Leaderboards. Now, a lot of Mods have been saying not to worry about the stats because they are saved there. Now, this is in no disrespect to any staff member, but times have changed where staff were pvp orientated, to work orientated. Looking at the staff now, there aren't many mods which stand out as pure PVP fanatics. This of course, makes their view on the staff reset a little bias, as perhaps their stats arent good, or they arent into pvp at all. Now, you have to look at it from people like Graveyard, bcfcAnt , Darkrai and other top 25/30 players. Its all good saying the stas will be saved. But i dont know about you, but i wouldnt like to play as much as i have done again to get my 2500/4000 wins back. Like its all good having them saved, but many of the staff wont understand the annoyance they feel because many do not have a lot of wins (exceptions of course apply, there are some insane mods at PVP). Although the Legacy leaderboards seems to be a solution, its just freezing a persons wins. Maybe I wanted to break 600 wins or some sort, or if you're Sean and you've played 6000 games to hit 300 wins (OP STATS), you dont wanna play that many again. I may be wrong, maybe people see it as competition, but you'll see a new list of the pr0 Pvpers which is good and bad.

3)Hackers. Standard topic, speaking as an ex-Mod, i understand the whole deal with hackers, so Im not gonna go too much into detail. The Minute stats are reset, there will be hackers trying to reach number one. Regardless of if the Hacker rules get stricter, the numbers will be keep flooding in until a new anti-cheat in released or so (Might be in production, someone confirm for me perhaps). I use EU for an example, due to the lack of EU mods, hackers haven't really increased, its the mods which have decreased, which sort of creates the illusion that lots more hackers are on, when really they probably aren't as huge as people think. personally, there will still be an increase, now everyone has a clean slate in their records.

I might edit this later with additional points

I feel like as much as many of us dont want this stats reset to occur, i feel as if its gonna be reset no matter what valid points are said, as by how defensive staff are getting about this, its only gonna be a matter of time.
A shame you didn't get your platinum for being an ex-mod.

Imo SailedStingray was the best mod at pvp (dude, 1k wins with a 1/3 on EU.), but now, idek. Probably Ceroria

Ok, so it's apparent to me that minecraft is dying, and mcsg is going to be one of the last servers.

So, I'm going to offer a choice.

Would you rather have MCSG die on a good note, with all the high ranked players feeling happy?

Or would you rather have MCSG die on a bad note, with just about every influential member leaving.

As Hks said, pick your poison.

Doing this just how much you guys want money. I'm sorry but it's true. I have bought a few stat resets total of like 900-1000 wins on my accounts and it's taken me over a year and anybody can get that. I'm not even a great player but I still was able to get like 1k wins and about 8-9k games played. If the server resets people are gonna leave and all the people super low on the leaderboards can make their way up and also if they reset it's just gonna get even harder to win because all the hackers and boosters going for number one. I personally think mcsg will be ruined if this goes through. I myself will quit along with others like my friends who are in the top 100-1000. JUST THINK Of how many people your going to make leave. Thank you goodbye.

imo there's just going to be a lot more hackers and boosters going for #1 so there's no point in actually doing the reset... However, i do think mcsg would be better with the reset because of the fresh start. I probably won't be able to get my wins back but it would still be nice to get even in the rank 100's since so many people have 1000 wins now there's not point in even trying to get up there since it's so far away. Apart from the hackers and the boosters all the well known mcsg players are going to quit because of the time and dedication that they put into this game all going to waste.
