Purchasing a premium currency with real money and subsequently using it to acquire goods is not merely a donation to a project one wishes to support. When receiving something of value in exchange for the contribution, it is considered a purchase.
u prefer paying donation without getting something back then?
When I make a donation to the animal shelter they give me a candy bar and a thank you card. Here you get Coins in gratitude for your donation, which you can exchange for certain things, instead of getting chocolate and a card. Maybe you would see it as buying chocolate and a card, but I can tell you people in general won't and your view doesn't change the nature of it.
"donation" does not accurately convey the nature of the transaction. When I contribute to a charity, I do not anticipate receiving anything in exchange.
applying your definition, i might aswell call the money i give to the grocery store whenever i buy food a donation.
Why would I take accountability for people thinking they can get away with an obvious rule? Why is it that WE must take accountability of those people's actions instead of THEM?
Maybe there's "philosophy" on the offender's end on determining whether they can get away with it or not. But if those people can't recognize there is risk of a ban involved, then that's not the staff's issue.
except the grocery store keeper clearly stating he/she is selling their groceries, not accepting donation for their groceries.
The levels of mental gymnastics people employ trying to blame their inability to behave in good faith on warmane qualify them for god damn Olympics
Couldn't have said it better!
Actually players was enjoying those hks trades, and customer is always right. So staff should announce those bans at least 3 days before starting to ban actually. This way with yours BUM-BAN you only making ppl angry and leaving the server. Loosing players for what?
for good riddance ofc, how about u make your own server with your own rules and see what happen
so you actually think it only depends on what they "state", not what they do? if the owner of the grocery store decides to now "accept donations" for their products, they would not sell goods anymore? don't ridicule yourself.
thats why i asked if u prefer they dont give u anything in return as some kinda appreciation when donating.
Nothing change the fact that they should announce those bans first. Half server was doing this, not 10 or 20 ppl. It is not a shame to admit mistake and do it properly.
