[2021] is favoring of donors ethic ?

I suspect strongly that this is against our monetization rules (unfair advantage of high slots for paying users) and recommend to report the server via the contact form at https://www.bohemia.net/monetization. However, the team over there will make the final decision.

General rule is:

If you encounter a server offering monetization, that is not listed here, report it to us. They are breaking the rules, any monetization needs to be approved by us.


Even if a server is listed as approved, if you are under the impression that the monetization is against our rules, you can still report it. They might've changed their monetization system after being approved.

This is allowed under "Charging players to access your server", and gameplay cannot be affected if a player is not on the server.

Server restarts are announced in advance (at least on our official servers and any server has the possibilities to do so), and server restarts happen maybe every 8 hours. Considering these circumstances, being in a position where you engage in PVP knowing a server restart is coming in the next minutes and the restart happening while both of you are alive and the opposing player knows your quite exact position, we consider this an edge case. And even if the priority queue wasn't paid, you still would probably never know if the user who just got the jump on you actually was in priority queue, or just got an earlier slot in the queue.

A general warning to keep this topic civilized and free from personal conflict.
