No real point. Getting to endgame isn't hard, no competition in pvp, AoA is ruined by tinkers' and other servers are just more fun, though a lot could change with plugins, as it stands I see no real want to play on departed for an extended period of time.
I am playing Departed but on another server, that has plugins for base protections and such and enjoying the challenge of the difficult mobs. As it stands now in MYM's implementation there are no protections other than, "pretty please don't touch my stuff" its not worth investing time into building anything. However, I will say playing playing on anther servers really makes me appreciate the MYM mods and admins much more, I am about done with Departed there and will be back to MYM soon. If MYM implemented Departed like their other packs, I would be back that day. Not sure why anyone would think Departed would make a good PvP mod pack. Once you get endgame weapons, all players are first shot kills, regardless of armor.
In my opinion TOO many packs use TiCon and AE2, There are very few packs that dont use them, and those have been some of the packs i have liked the most recently. Of course i like both mods above, but they have their place it certain packs. Also /fly and /god will break any server. A few donators (@TheDrunkSquirrel ) will tell you the same. Very few servers sell these commands. While i know the dontators would like something in return for donating.... These can be a bit much on any server. Take Hubris for example, Day one and the Hardcore Ender Dragon is Dead and A LOT of the tower guardians are dead... all most all killed by players using /god and /fly. It makes it hard for normal players like me to get to the towers before they are all looted/ killed.
