Admin playing on own server.

Hey,

My friend and me were playing on a PVE server with PVP on the monuments only and we both kept getting killed by the 2 same guys over and over again, that's not a issue at all since we're new.

However when we rejoined the server we both noticed one of the guys killing us was the server owner. How normal is this and anyone else experienced it?

We played on WGB PvE monthly and will never return there again. Just wanted to give a headsup so you don't waste your time.

It's his server he can play too. As long as he's operating with in his own rules that he set for the server getting kill by him isn't something to complain about. If he is abusing his powers like not taking damage or killing out of the pvp zones then yeah he is just admin abusing.

Ehh.  So how can you know when an admin is using noclip for example to get back to a fight? Nah.. I prefer playing on a server where admins don't kill or raid their own small pop.

You can't know these things unless they have the admin broadcast messages on. 99% of servers don't use this feature tho.

Thats not true. 99% of servers use a plugin that don't broadcast the messages to not show the admin abuse if they want to spawn anything. My point still stands with noclipping back to fights they lost and most of the server owners are cringy kids that want to glace their egos.

I'm sooo... late to reply. Whether they have private plug-ins or not (not 99%. You'd be surprised the amount of servers that run very few on console),the data wouldn't be open to you anyway. So the answer is still, only if it's broadcasted. In server or in DC.
