Purely from a players point of view, the "rape" that some server side plugins do to players is the worst sin of all. As soon as I see any server side plugins active on a server, I leave. I don't want annoying sounds downloaded to me, menus, screen displays, or key rebindings etc.
On the other hand of course we have to ask, "So Alfred! What's the alternative then? Is there a particular reason this feature was removed, or is there a new alternative in the works?"
