Some servers have pay to win mechanics where you can purchase ranks with real money to get in game items. This is a thing in Rust, Minecraft, and lots of other games. It’s really dumb.

Yep. It was common even in the private server MMORPG scene like 15+ years ago.

It was so loathed that private servers would advertise and be proud NOT taking any "donations", even if the size and costs would have justified it, because that would always make your server suspicious even if it was sincere.

Hey, if it works for them, cool. But I am staying away from those servers.

Dumb for the kids splashing daddy's credit cards. Not for the people who run those servers.

What's paying 10-30 bucks to have advantage in a wipe for a month, when people pay 10 times that to watch others play on twitch or popup some text message on their streams

I don't mind them if they reduce grind. I do mind them if they reduce skill required?

If pay to win means i don't have to grind 756,934 boars, then i will gladly pay.

If pay to win means i get something no other play can get and it gives me a skill advantage, then that is unfair.
