I can't believe how frustrating it is to try and find a 'good' server! I don't believe I'm being all that picky when what I want is:
1. 24/7 activity
2. Mature staff (really hard to find actually)
3. semi-vanilla or as near vanilla as I can get (No FTB, tekkit, etc)
4. Pvp enabled, griefing enabled, no land protection (The reason I don't just give up and jump on factions is reason 2)
5. No world border.
6. 1.6.2 update.
Is this stuff way too hard to find? I understand that if I want pvp AND griefing, I'm probably just going to have to settle for a factions server, but finding one that isn't chock full of 11yos screaming 'BID ON THIS!' 'JOIN MY FAC!' 'NEED DIAMONDS!' etc. is rather difficult, not to mention the 'buy to win' problem...
Anyone else having issues finding a server they like? And if you have one, tell me about it! I'm sick of minigames and I'd love a server for me and my buds to jump onto.

Balance is the key. You need some time away and we understand that. But once that's done? We'll meet you on any server (yes, even factions) with a sword in one hand, and a pickaxe in the other.
The PvP and Griefing aspect is definitely the part that's making it hard for you.
That kind of gameplay just naturally attracts a somewhat less mature audience, especially when you add people with power on the server.
Immaturity I can handle so long as its in someone that isn't staff.

I thought you said earlier that you gave up on looking for a good server. I tried to look for a server similar to your criteria. I was sort of successful, but the one thing that brought me down time and time again were servers with the faction plugin.

I know a server, but a lot of the time there isn't PVP,and it has land protection...
And it's a towney sever.
And the admins are fair, but they are like never on.
Anyways, if you are interested...

Yeah, PvP and Griefing and no land protection is only good for faction servers.
He specifically asked for one with griefing and lots of PvP...

You really really really can't get so specific with things.
Like "no world border". Those servers may be hard to find and on a server with pvp enabled and griefing enabled then there might be a world border. If you're looking for specifics then you will be waiting a long time. You need to try to find a server that fits most but don't try to get the fitting image.
Also, you really need to put some effort into searching for servers because I think I have seen numerous servers like what you described. Even then, the reason you may not find the server with your exact requirements is maybe because the combination of requirements isn't such a popular option.
Paying 10 bucks a month to get it hosted is "so much effort"?
Don't you have to do port forwarding and all the crap? Also I'm pretty sure only paying $10 per month for server hosting will give you a crappy server....

It would be enough for 15 or so people probably. If you want a bigger server you need to invest bigger money, but who really needs one bigger than 15 people or so if it's just you and your friends?
I've searched and jumped into quite a few servers.
CrystalCraft hit every nail on the head. Was probably the best server I could ever hope for. Then they kept installing anti-xray plugins that completely ruined the server due to the lag generated.
ICMC was near identical to CrystalCraft, (I was actually staff on ICMC for awhile, made Idfarms over $500 from players donating) but the community was rather inexperienced so I quickly built a team (they used xTeams) and we dominated the server. The only Mod on that server (itscyber) made a team, and threatened to ban all of Frost (my team) that didn't switch to his. He banned us to a man.
ThePeople was another great find, except for massive lag due to the fact that they were hosting it off of a laptop in the owner's basement from what I understand.
I tried roughly 14 faction servers after that, but they all had stupid limitations or disabled everything I was looking for:
No Endermen
No nether/end
Explosions disabled
No Pvp except in claimed areas that you'd declared war on
'Pay to win' No diamond gear unless you paid 8 bucks a month? Its cheap but wth?
No exp farming allowed/resource farms
Fire completely disabled
I'm honestly not trying to be picky... Sure I get annoyed and my focus is narrow but are the problems I'm finding really so minor that I'm being ridiculous by trying to avoid them?

Wow that's just sad.... that mod is such a sore loser...... *slaps mod with pufferfish*Also just wondering but have you ever gotten latency (delay lag) due to you being far from where the server is hosted?

Okay I understand you now. Though the moment you find a single glaring limitation immediately leave the server so you don't waste your time :P.
I have a server you can join just need hamachi ( trying to get a non hamachi one soon)it has no plugins p v p enabled and girf as well ask for the ip address and password yeah just ask anyone

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- no.
Honestly, the 12 year olds that play factions are all like that.

For me it would be, considering I myself want to make a server but can't afford hosting without getting a job that will interfere with schoolwork.
My fan fiction of the game: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1957118-programmer-my-first-fan-fiction/#entry24096758
In your case it's not so much effort to actually host the server, it's just to afford it.
Which ruins the entire point. If you can get a diamond sword on the first day it ruins the entire point.
