I love how there's no staff replying to these massive arguments. People are arguing when they have absolutely no information to what's happening for Sentinel development. The staff could be working on it 24/7, or Sentinel could be collecting dust without us knowing. Right now, everybody is thinking that they are "right," because, of course, all of you think you are the smartest (and the most handsome) in the whole wide universe. Good luck with living with that mindset for the next ten years. (Some people will reply to my comment saying I'm "wrong" which in turn, elaborates on the point I'm trying to make even more. Think about that for a sec)

Here's a very fun story: Let's say someone (Her name is Joe) is the best-est most popular on the forums. Just imagine this person for a couple of seconds. Keep in mind that Joe have been with the community for 5 quazillion years and they are the most popular profile of all time. Over time, they have seen Sentinel being constructed and improved via forum announcements. Sweet, sweet Joe has even been contributing by going on to the server and banning other hackers. Maybe this person hasn't really played Minecraft in a long time because Joe has been sticking with the popular game, Fortnite.
Effects: Over time, Joe has built up a mindset that Sentinel has been banning hacker constantly, that Sentinel is the #1 priority for staff, and Sentinel should be given a golden medal. Which, for his past events/point of view, is a reasonable opinion to make. But of course, they are not seeing everything. First, they are no staff member, so they don't know a thing about Sentinel. They also make the assumption that sentinel was being worked on constantly over the years because of the various announcements on the forums. They still are imagining Cubecraft 3 years ago because they haven't been playing Minecraft recently. The assumption that Sentinel deserves a gold medal, is of course, and opinion that is built up by their own perspective on the topic.
Here's another very fun story: Let's say someone (Her name is Joey) is the awesome-est Skywars Tryhard. Just imagine this person for a couple of seconds. Keep in mind that this player has been playing on Cubecraft for about 9 months, give or take. For the first five months, they saw some hackers in-game, but they didn't really care that much. But for the last 4 months, this person has been raging whenever they see a hacker. Then in their rage, they say some really mean things to the hacker, which leads them to get banned.
Effects: Joey now has a mindset that Sentinel is not banning hackers, has been getting completely worse for the past couple of years, and is utter and absolute trash. Which, for his past events/point of view, is a reasonable opinion to make. But of course, they are not seeing everything. First, they are no staff member, so they don't know a thing about Sentinel. They also make the assumption that Sentinel has become worse over the years, but they have been playing for less than a year and don't have a bird's eve view on hacking in the server. The assumption that Sentinel is trash, is of course, and opinion that is built up by their own perspective on the topic.

What I can see from this thread is that there are two types of people (examples above if you didn't read it lol) One is saying that "Sentinel needs an update" (Title of the tread,) and the others are saying "No, sentinel is the best." These two sides are clashing because they think their opinion is right with limited information about the topic.
Before you post a comment saying "My opinion is right! I am the best in the world! Don't question my thinking because my thinking is right!", just stop, and think for a moment. Please. If your opinion was "right," then nobody would be arguing about it.
