    So I'm thinking about giving small donor perks on all servers whenever someone has a big rank on a single server. So let's say you own emerald on factions, whenever you go on other servers, everywhere you have a 10 dollar rank. I'm thinking if the rank is over $100 then give ranks on all subservers 10% of the price. So if anyone is ever in a mood for minigames, they can go do that without spending extra money to do well.

    I don't see how this is pay2win, If you play, let's say factions, and buy MVP rank you'd only be getting gold or lapis on the other gamemodes, If someone buys god they get emerald on the other servers but I don't really see a problem with that, It'll people to donate and support the server even further.

    It would be better to gice them a 10$ rank on each server then except then emerald

    Not every server has a 10 dollar rank, Giving them a percentage is better because you can round it out, If someone donates 1000 dollars they should get their money's worth

    Not really you donate for a specific server, and if you get the lowest don rank on other servers you should be happy

    They are already getting their money's worth by buying the 1000 dollar rank for their server. And it would not encourage people to donate more because if they buy an expensive rank they will already have another rank on the other servers so they wouldn't have to buy one.

    It is not guaranteed they have an expensive rank on another sub server, If you have actually played most high ranks on factions are non ranks on mcmmo, kitpvp, and skywars. Only ones I have seen with ranks on other servers are MVP rank Wiipro123 having diamond on skywars and me having MVP on factions and mcmmo and Crafter on Kitpvp.

    How exactly are they getting their money's worth when the cool down for the kit is 10 days? When they buy it that is certainly their question

    Here is the thing, Barely anyone legitimately buys god, only with the exception of the BajanAmerican and DerpyTurtle cases. If you get a set rank lowest rank on the other subservers that is most likely coal, You couldnt even really use it because kit coal is nothing compared to the other kits.
    A percentage is better for the higher ranks and for the lower ranks there should be like a new buycraft item that adds the rank on the server you want with like half off on a lower rank on another server like "Factions Lapis rank w/ Coal on the other servers: $22.50" or something similar but I think surge would rather give them a bigger reward (percentage of their donation) on the other sub servers.
    It is ultimately surge's decision and I think he will keep his percentage plan if any at all.

    Surge made the kits the way they are for a reason. Before, fights were just whoever had the most god apples in their inventory. The fights are a bit better now due to the kits longer cool down. I mean, 24 gapples everyday is a lot from just VIP 1, and then there was VIP 2 which gave you like 30 more. I mean, kit VIP used to have creative in the old days so the server has come a long way. Anyways, my point is that people do not have to donate 1000 dollars for a rank if they think the cool down is too long. This is just a dumb idea in general.

    It's surge's idea, Not mine. Rewarding them with a percentage of their donation on a different subserver is good for donations as people will basically get a bundle of ranks for one high rank purchase. God's cool down is long and the players may feel they aren't getting what they pay for so if surge gives them ranks on different subservers what is there to lose? Kit god is overpowered but for a rank that costs 1 grand it isn't as much as you'd expect. They don't have to donate for the rank, true, but what if they didn't? Surge would not have many funds to improve the server and hire devs. As long as we are rewarding the players donating and making it worth their while I do not see a problem.

    No, but what I am saying is, if people think that for 1 grand the rank is not worth the price, why buy it? It is not making it worth their while, because most people only play on one server and do not go on any other server. If they really wanted to, they could donate for both if they really enjoyed both servers.

    It doesn't have to be worth it but if they buy it they can charge back as some have demonstrated already but if they get more bang for their buck they would think twice about charge backing.
     
  26. xPh4nt0mM4nx

    xPh4nt0mM4nx Old Squad Member -=[ Old Factions Staff]=-

    That may be true, but if they charge back then they just get banned correct? If they do not think the rank is worth it, they will not purchase it. It is as simple as that lol. Anyways, I do not want to argue. This is probably going to be implemented anyways, so there is no point.

    If they charge back they can just give their unique items to an alt or friend
