> don't make the game fun

the fun is no longer the game in an anarchy server. It's in beating other play's strategies - which actually makes it quite close to a real war in the physical world.

For example, the 2b2t minecraft wars between factions involve logistics, misinformation and intelligence (such as spies, fakes etc). It's no longer just minecraft. But that's what makes it fun and interesting.

Yeah but that's not fun, that's tedious work 99% of the time that culminates in some rare fun.

Welcome to the multiplayer gaming, especially games like Minecraft or ARK.

Online games without hacks are usually fun the whole time, even Minecraft SMP. Lots of people play those casually.
