The crafting tables required a lot of effort to pull something like that off... not to mention if they messed up they'd lose minerals and look retarded. Unlike standing there talking to your buddies and having a good laugh and tapping one button before the time runs out to prevent dozens of people from being able to mine a certain mineral requires very little effort.

Anyway... I might as well explain my idea since it seems it won't be used anyway since 2k1 is down the drain.

Basically my plan was to make it so that people could recieve one FREE tnt at a time, with a time limit inbetween. So you could get one free tnt like... every 2 hours... (or whatever seemed fair) This would make it so that people wouldn't be as bothered by rock stealers, since you technically didn't have to pay for anything. It wouldn't SOLVE rock stealing, but it would make it bearable in a sense.

Also you could still buy extra TNT if you really needed it. The thing is, you could get as much free TNT you want... (like getting one every 2 hours) and just save them. You could even save up a bunch and sell them in bulk to people and make profit. Like to people who don't have the time to visit the TNT store and pick up free ones all day or something.

Anyway... I was either going to have that as the default... or have it as a special "members only" bonus for people who bought enough TNT from the store... or something.

So again, you'd still have rock stealing (which could be dealt with by RP law enforcement maybe), but it wouldn't be as bothersome... It's like if you bought 5 sandwiches and someone kept stealing 1-2 of them every time... it would be really annoying. But if you could get 5 free sandwiches every so often, it wouldn't really bug you if they took a couple because they were free.

Paying for TNT was kinda dumb anyway since you already have to invest so much money (from buying pickaxes) and time just to get the minerals.
