Donating (Rant)

Is donating really worth it? If you think so listen to my story and this shoud put you off it.

So Im playing my favourite server and my friends come on with there 100 dollar donator ranks and im stuck with a cheepo 5 dollar one. So there there in there diamond armor and im in my leather so they threahten to kick me out of faction unless i get a donator rank

i swiftly bought a 50 dollar rank and felt like i fitted in. not for long as the server began to get very laggy and glithcy i decided to quit it for a bit then when i re entered they were having a problem with donators so you had to register if u were one.. my email had been used so i never got my rank back :/
