Really Disappointed
I did a lot (40) of holla's to try, I repeat TRY to teach noobs what artifacts are and how to find them. Then all the experienced & advanced players came in and grabbed them up without a care in the world that the noobs were left to wonder why we are all even here.
This type of behavior negates the concept of Community and makes it just about you. Selfish as can be without a care of who else plays and just how they feel.
We WILL reap what we sow. What would you like to reap?
EDIT: I see some of you missed my intent with these events I did. I went to tropical mines and when I found an artifact, I did a holla to 'try' to show new players how to find them. I did this so they 1. could have an income and feel good about playing, & 2. to show them there is kindness in this game of so many greedy scamming liars. I did these over the course of 2 days and I did try to tell the older players why I was doing it but it fell on deaf ears.
This game is a platform 'only', we do with it what is in our hearts & minds to do with it. I choose to honor God and these 2 Commandments;
Mark 12:30-31 King James Version (KJV)
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
I see some of you think its weird to do 40 holla's about finding artifacts or that I care about someone other than myself. You can play as you like this is true but consider this..... Mark 8:36 King James Version (KJV)
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
If you think to be a winner when you gain all cc has to offer at the expense of others, you are a fool for we can't take it with us when we leave the game and certainly not when we leave the world. What we can take is what we did & didn't do for our God & our fellow man. I do have a lot in cc but these are my rewards for honoring God and loving my fellow player. I do give back to the community, probably worth more than the average player ever sees.
I posted this in the Community section. The fact that this section even exists tells me the devs do want there to be a place we can welcome new players and talk to friends and watch out for one another. I choose to help players so they feel good and want to stay a while, even if yall think that is weird.
If I am just disappointed, just imagine how God feels about the way we treat each other.

Though, it is quite weird to holla 40 times to broadcast the same content within such a short amount of time. What I mean is, if I already read something then I probably wouldn't read it again.
2. What newbies will learn from one line of text?
As others said, you should make a realm.
I do have a 99x99 realm called Tropical Mine with placed artifacts so they can see how to find them. I did the holla's so they could actually get them. I DID state this was for the noobs several times but players like Jessica ignored this took them anyways and just left.
If we don't help the new players, they will just leave and then badmouth the game to their friends so less people will want to join. We are the free advertising this game depends on right now and yall are failing cc.
Just because you can do something in cc doesn't make it the right thing to do so try to look at the big picture or keep on doing what you think is best for the future of cc.
If you think dog eat dog is the best thing we can do, soon there will be one lone dog till it dies then boom we outta here.
There's a lot of extremely greedy players (not just newbies) that I come across and I bet you that they will turn out like Jessica and won't care about what you're doing, whether if it's for the good or the bad; if it's free, they'll take it.
As I'm writing this, a level 21 player is "at a hollawarp" (Idk what to say) where the player that holla'd said he was quitting.... The player kept begging for the quitter's outfit (which included rares) and told me to "shut up and mind my own business" after I told them to stop begging.. I told them (basically anyone that was there) that a lot of the people only went to the hollawarp for free stuff and didn't care about the player quitting, they just wanted free stuff, to which the level 21 player replied with "duh hes quitting right?"
I don't like players like the level 21 player I came across.. They're immature and greedy and I want to find a way to fix that
It's important that we help newbies so they don't turn out so greedy, but we need to be cautious with it
I can already see why you're disappointed, but like [Lord Sinister] said, maybe next time.. . Say that it's for newbies in the holla? I saw those hollas and I don't really remember anything being said about newbies ee (not really trying to say that you did something wrong (and also not trying to side with the greedy players)), but I don't think everyone understood why you holla'd).
I love that people are helping newbies out (I've seen a clan that helps newbies by giving out tools, workbenches, clothes, etc, as well as players having prize dispensers with clothes in their shop), but I think that if we're going to kind of help them more than just giving them basic items, we need to try to find a way to filter out the experienced people and the newbies..

Just set up dummy realms and demonstrations of how to find artifacts.
Hollaring and saying theres artifacts is only going to lead to what happened.
I set up a how to find fossils in my realm.
You can see it here
But yeah just set up a realm and expand on that idea maybe would be a more successful method of teaching about artifacts.

Why do you think cc changed to steam? imo it is because an 8 year old can walk into any supermarket with money in hand and buy a steam reload card. An 8 year old can't have a credit card as this game was designed to at the start, in order to purchase cubits.
also imo, updates are to distract us from the game's basic flaws. Why fix the 40 things that are wrong when the majority of players are too young to even use them, ie work hard mining, crafting, farming etc. Lets just make a cc2 and make the kids buy more stuff that is shiny and new & sweep the old under the rug.

That might help as well.
