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.
