NO.no of course everyone should get free ranks because it gives players more FreedomTM. To keep the server running the rich will just trickle down their wealth on cubecraft and give donations. duh.
I still disagree, because why would the owner of Cubecraft do that? Besides, if EVERYONE got a rank, less motivation to buy ranks, the owner of Cubecraft would lose money, and just think, "Why bother keeping this server up? I'm losing money..." and Cubecraft would shut down. Not at all, besides, if everyone, for example, got iron rank, that is basically NOT even getting a rank because it's the default rank.
Imagine this: There are two servers. One has very special permissions given to players as soon as they join, like map selector, every cosmetic, fly in lobbies, and tons more. The other has only the permission to walk around the lobbies, chat, join random-map games, and no cosmetics. They're both the default rank despite having such different permissions.
This means that the quote above is not good reasoning to give people free ranks. As well as that, if everyone gets free ranks, it simply means the more expensive ranks would be much cheaper as well as not many people want to buy it. Besides, if gold rank was given to everyone, for example, then that would mean that the people emerald rank like me would regret buying their ranks because if they had waited, then it would be cheaper, and the people iron rank would regret buying their ranks because a HIGHER rank would've been free if they had waited. This suggestion would make EVERYONE who bought a rank regret buying their rank because if they had waited, it would've been cheaper or free.
Besides, like I said, the owner of cubecraft's money would go down even faster than it would now because ranks are cheaper, people who wanted to buy the lower ranks would just think "Oh ok, I just got a higher rank for free :D"
So, no. No. No no. No no no. No no no no no no no no no no no.
