Your Opinion About Donation Servers

[Scribbles]

Voting for Points is fine, but I miss the times where donations would get you a Drops card or a Drooping Cat and an OCA/OPB

I never really could understand the point of buying a card you can get for free though. All the more so if it's a rare card. Really would make me feel more lazier than I usually am. xD

In my opinion, there are like 97% of donation servers that enjoy money that is being spent on them. However, not ALL donation servers are UNBALANCED. Making it 'unbalanced' depends on the type of server it is (LR, MR, HR, SHR) and the amount of items given, as well as the items that are mainly exclusive to donators and non-donators get no special treatment.

I, myself, hate the fact that donators should get EVERYTHING because they donate. False. Owners should make it so that items that are given to donators, non-donators can also get them. Thus, that is what I've done with my server.

However, there are also items that are exclusive to donators that are way way stronger in PvP, WoE, etc. and non-donators have no chance which I find total BS.

In conclusion, it varies on the type of server.

I do... sadly agree though that there are a handful of servers or so out there that probably do abuse the concept of donations, mostly using them for their own financial gain. But people will never know how the server is in such terms if they never bother to try them out. What's to lose in trying a server other than a moment to download their client? o:

More than a hand full mate, I'd say close to 95% of them abuse the concept of donations.

It's around there indeed. Before I created my server, I've been in abusive servers who pick pocketed the money.

So if I were to ask, you guys would prove this by reasonable statistics using legit mathematical reasoning to explain the percentage of server in terms of corruption ? xD

Anyways~. I can safely say that the server I GM isn't part of that corrupt percentage, but it supposedly being so high.... well it doesn't help any. @_@

I don't really like playing on donation-servers, when the donates affect pvp or woe too much.
I'd like to think of a perfect build without spending money on it...

I despise servers where you have to donate in order to keep up. It becomes more reasonable if you can buy them off other players or make them in-game, but then some people just donate and sell the items till they have 1 bill to buy the best mvp cards in the server, not really putting in any effort them self

[Gankz]

No such thing as donations, it's called a cash shop. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying.

Well the donations aren't what keeps the server up for us, and we don't believe in mvp card donates. Defeats the purpose of actually farming them, much less fighting the boss. Which I do agree with.

[Solstice]

Well, Donations on a server are okay as long as the items that are available are balanced and fair towards other players, and also it would be nice if the items could be obtained though other means such as quests or prizes. Some small items may be donation exclusive but these items should no be overpowered

[Failure]

Here's one that slightly irks me for some lousy reason: Low rates with exp manuals for sale (there's a point where it's less a donation and more of a cash shop, it's just a matter of the server owner evading taxes/kidding themselves).  It comes off as "here's boring rates, donate to make them fun" to me.

Also, I've never given money to a server for any reason, and probably never will.  Private servers are too temporary to piss away $10 to.

It's fine with me. Donations keeps/helps the server to be alive. But if the server has an imbalanced/overpowered donation items. I immediately quit playing them. Haha!

Yeah, that's about the conclusion everyone comes to.
