to your first con: is there any proof this? New players cant tpa anyway so when they want to play with their friends its hard for them to do so most players only join for move craft and once they realize that its basically unimportant to the game they leave

for your second con: have you tested boats since 1.18 as most of the laggyness and the choppiness has been fixed as of the new update

for your third con: your free to feel that way but in my almost 1 hour discussion of this in chat only 1 person didn’t believe like it was the right call
