Until the devs add an option to character lock a server that is all you can do for now.

It is not bad design. It is as intended. Just doesn't work for YOU because your apparent friend doesn't care about the "rules" for the server.

I think you live in a bubble my friend. It is bad design, all you have to do is look at items with teleportation lock and see what was 'intended' to be moved around. I'm talking about a trojan horse starting every player in the face, there is no barriers in place to even deter people from spawning items in single to move to multiplayer. You could argue that it's a feature of the game even, given how easily it can be achieved.

Since when in games or any competition at all in the world do you rely on 'word of mouth' confirmation that someone is playing fair. Look at boxing, olympics and all of the tests they do to ensure players are not juicing to get an advantage. I expect nothing less from gaming competitively in a survival game.

I hear what you're saying but, what I'm asking for is not something that will affect you in any way. I'm asking for an optional feature and you're telling me how silly I am for asking for it. It's quite ignorant of you, not seeing my point of view. Not everybody has perfect friends and nobody should be EXPECTED TO HAVE because, of an online game, This is a very 'xD' argument on your behalf if I'm honest.

Just to add, I honestly feel insulted that I even have to ask for such basic, necessary game mechanics.
