    There are many of us that appreciate the opportunity to support this awesome server. Keep in mind that you are able to use in game money to purchase donation features.

    How exactly is it unfair? Is having fly as a feature unfair? Or the fact that vanish is a feature is unfair? Should we abolish donation features altogether because of the notion that they're unfair?

    Yeah no. Donation features are here for a reason. They're here to support the server and help it run - How do you expect the server, with thousands of dollars in costs each month, to properly run without any donations/constant cash flow of some sort? It can't. Running a 100+ player minecraft server costs money. Not to mention, the server isn't "taxing" you or "making" you pay for the TP feature. If it was, you'd be forced to buy TP - You aren't. All features are 100% optional to buy.

    As far as the feasibility of this goes, as we'd have to issue out equivalent $15 coupon codes to properly refund people who bought the TP feature - It's largely unfeasible when you take into the account the amount of people who have this feature and the amount of money the server makes from it. There's a large amount of players who have TP - Hundreds of them. That's already thousands of dollars in potential revenue lost, as people will start using these coupon codes instead of actually donating to the server. Not just this, but as coupon codes are manually generated, this would be a large amount of work for the administration, especially when they could be focusing on more important/urgent things at hand. To add onto that, many people buy TP, and removing that feature would be removing one of their server's main sources of constant cash flow.

    Removing TP isn't feasible nor realistic at all.

    Thousands of people have purchased the teleport feature and ECC is unable to substantiate because coupons would lead to lost revenue (essentially free features which could have been paid for and supports the server).

    So is your spelling. This suggestion isn't getting accepted. In your shoes I understand the frustration, just work towards it if you do not want to spend real $. Save up, don't blow your money, and eventually you'll have the $.

    Alright, and...? I don't see what you're point is.

    http://money.howstuffworks.com/personal-finance/online-banking/electronic-payment.htm

    You're literally suggesting to make a major change to server finances literally for your personal convenience. That isn't how things work.

    You obviously have no idea how much it costs to run a large server. lol
