My Experience with bad players on server...
My start with this game was not very good and not happy
On the first day of playing this game, I opened public server, I got players who stealing stuff or people who ruined the experience of the game. I still hoped somewhere in the corner of my heart that there would be players who would be like me, helpful and grateful for a good community.
then I had the opportunity to connect to the builder community server, from the beginning I was satisfied! the community was great and the people around me were helpful and friendly, as time passed, I built amazing house and had many projects planned, I had no problem with anyone on the server. Unfortunately, it went downhill one day when I received a message on discord saying "where are items from the community storage" quite probably someone was not very happy that I was using shared storage resources and each player could take what he wanted. The rules were realy simple: "Take what you want from the shared community storage, if of course you overtime farm it back", I never had a problem with that, and I always returned the things I taken, gradually over time, more and more pressure was put on me to complete farm things back and in a much shorter period of time.
a one day after, I crafted items from mistlands from my own 70% of items, and I returned 2x as many items back to the community storage, unfortunately I was still BAD guy, when it was not enough that I had to return things on time, a person invented a rule that I can't have new things from mistlands until the others also own them. what was not quite true, a couple of people on the server have been using mistlands items for a long time, only I was not have permission to using it - it was quite obvious that someone didn't want me here, even that person invited me on to their server, I started to think it was some kind of bad joke...
after a couple of days.. I decided to stop taking stuff the public community storage because it was obvious that someone didn't like me on the server because almost every player took what they wanted from storage and no one ever had a problem. but everything was blamed on me, I was marked as a thief, even though I was innocent, so I asked the owner to look into the console or the server data to see who took and stole stuff from storage, Unfortunately, my request was ignored then I found in the community storage items that were not crafted by anyone, for example items from mistlands or black metal weapons, armors, arrows etc... the list of items is quite large, the only way to get things that do not have the name of the person who created them is that there is someone I had to go through the console, of course I received messages from people that it was due to the transfer of the server, the problem is that mistlands is a new update and that server had almost no mistlands stuff expect 2 people - that changed the next day where there were a 50+ weapons from mistlands that would take hours to farm and it would be impossible to do it in 1 day...
then early in the morning I left the server, I destroyed my own house that I built there and returned everything nicely to the community storage and I also gave up my mistland thing because I wasn't sure if I crafted these things from cheated items that were in the community storage, I was disappointed.... 50 hours on a server full of ( hidden ) cheaters who forced me to return items and farm them again and again for nothing,
then when I announced that I was leaving, something changed, the owner started accusing me that I was who did this all, that I was the problem...
I'm quite sad I lost 150 hours in this game for nothing, I got false hope that there is a good community of people somewhere I was devastated by how some people behave.
I hope someone read this on the end, and take my words **stay in singlplayer you never know how people will behave, you can lost everything in one day**
- I stull don't understand why my question was ignored when I wanted from owner to check the console/server data who actually did this things...

All games are like this, its incredibly difficult to find likeminded people that don't suck.
even when you think 'oh i found someone decent' and then drama still happens.
people are very fickle.
I find this to be even more true online, i can speculate why but id rather not.
Lets just say online people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird and it really depends on the game.
The more 'no-life/hardcore' the game is, higher chance of a weirder community.
I got my main game(myself, bit boring yes) and then a password protected server i go on that is based with a discord community.
they seem 'ok'.
So yeah idk, keep trying to find online buddies?

Always play with friends, 99% of randoms are sadly gonna be griefers since that's the only reason they play online to begin with (i.e they have no friends). And for the 1% we either play offline or do the above mentioned.

Sadly games and life need rules based order to function efficiently and dare i say Altruistically .
Alas people can resist anything pretty much ... except temptation.. :-)
A pot of community resources left to be refilled when it suits folk... as different to a pot of community resources that needs to be refilled within (for example 2 real days) and with more of the borrowed resource returned is a simple example of a set of rules.. but then you need someone to watch over it!! ;-/
I noted you thought you needed to destroy what you had built... hmmm you could have saved the effort and just left.?..
But you have your sense of what you think is "right" thats okay and good.
But you also have the sense of "lost 150 hours" .. its a game, its EA, hard drives fail, stuff happens.. enjoy the journey.. each step.. you actually learned a lot about others and yourself if you look at it slightly differently.. I would say thats a good 6 Day irl learning curve..
lastly ... good friends are hard to find. and people change. as do we!!

unfortunately this happens in all games all too often. As soon as any kind of drama starts, I am done -- I did my time back in wow days. Lol @ people having hissy fits over the tank taking a dps weapon (they needed to have damage builds to farm and function outside of group activity, its a reasonable thing to let them roll on such items) or blowing up a 50 person team because 3 of them were in a love triangle IRL or all the other crap that I have seen over decades of gaming. Just leave, the sooner, the better, and don't hesitate to take what is yours with you -- they are not worth giving it to them.
Comes down to shrinkery. I don't put a lot of stock in it, but even so, basic psych tells you that if you have 5 people, one will be excluded or railroaded eventually.

Sorry it happened to you but it looks like a rant that belongs in the server's discord.
It is very difficult to find a good fit sometimes. I do struggle with finding good communities too. I join these "slow progress chill servers" and there is always a bozo who starts yelling after 3 days that he wants to take down bonemass.
Obviously easier to just play with friends.
