Your Opinion About Donation Servers

[Triper]

Problem is the system, everything is around some sort of give stuff to players to give money to the admins soon or later and no more qualityro and instead you get payro.
Srs, if someone really wants to just have a server to get money just call him instead Pay2WinRO -.-
Worse is that after sometime the server turns into donations for gears and zenny doesn't exist anymore to the point that everything is ruled by donations and donations are the new currency.

Fun and free can used in the same sentence without the use of donations, some servers already made that and in a wonderful way but there is always someone that loves to f*** a good system and f*** the server =\

Only time I'm okay with Donation servers is if there is a way I can obtain said donations through some kinda ingame means.  That and I really dislike any types of cards or gear that is in the donate shop, unless its fancy hats.  But I would gladly donate to a server that is actually worth my time to obtain said hats or consumables.  Esp bubble gumz.  (  If its a low rate that is.  )  Sadly I have yet to actually donate to a server due to I don't like the server itself, or it shuts down.   I'm really picky about supporting servers unless I feel they are good enough to support.

It is a source of revenue and it isn't a "donation". Making a donation, as I've understood since I learned to speak English, doesn't entitle the person a "gift" or some compensation. That would be known as a "shop". However, I'm a hypocrite if I say I don't call them donations. Either way, I feel that the revenue accumulated should STRICTLY be used on nothing more than server finances. Otherwise, I feel that is very greedy - generally, you can spot greedy server owners based on what they are selling (EX: Sleipnir for 40$... but wait, there's more...). Just my opinion.

It's pretty common that everyone starts a server with the objective of making money out of it.

Not everyone, I saw already 2 servers based on a 0 donations system where players where voting/clicking on stuff as google aids to get vote points to get items in case as some funny hats and at same paying the costs of the server making the server alive without any donations.

When I tried to do a server, my goal was fun, not donations. I sincerely just wanted a server that wasn't a carbon copy of everything available :x

It didn't work out so well, but although 99% of servers are donation-orientated, there are some exceptions, crazy as it may seem.

Of course it would be nice to add abit of spice but spice comes with a price.
