OK guys, you've all seen them, I've seen them, etc. But now it's time for a fun rant! The topic of todays rant, is, of course, Server Monetization (The rediculous side.) DISCLAIMER: This is not about server in general, I am only here today to bring you what I feel is the most rediculous servers get when it comes to monetization. 

Let us begin, with the wonderful world of Pixelmon. As I am a Pixelmon server owner, this is the easiest topic for me to begin with, and I find this is often where the community gets fucked over the most. There are several servers out there (not naming any names) that charge absolutely rediculous prices for legendary pokemon, then proceed to disable them in game, making purchase of them the ONLY way to obtain one. I don't know about you guys, but I think $85 for a Kyogre on anyhing is absolutely asanine. Aside from this, they charge for anything they can, Masterballs, Rare candies, /pokeheal, Etc. But this is not quite extreme enough for my topic.

What I come here to bring up.. Has got to be the most rediculous thing I have ever seen on a server, ever. Why anybody would even play these servers once they see this in the donation store just baffles my mind.. This specific item? Paying to be unbanned on the server. Yes, on several servers I've seen, one can actually PAY to be unbanned on the server, I mean, should these people even own a server in the first place? I feel like anybody that even thinks about that clearly only wants your money, they could care less if you enjoy yourself.. 

Example:



That is a legitimate donator shop of a Pixelmon server, there's several like this, offering even more expensive donations just to be unbanned..

Note: If this is your server, I'm uhh.. "Sorry" but like really dude, c'mon.

So, I'd like to hear all of your thoughts on the rediculous crap like this, charging to get unbanned, or to use /tpahere (that's also a legitimate thing on this servers shop) 

As a final note: I am fully in support of server monetization WITHIN REASON, as the Mojang EULA says, it's ok if it happens, but for COSMETIC things, such as hats or nicknames.
