Well, after a few days of peace and quite from these pointless "remove donor privileges posts, I see another one pop up. Why, just why? What is the point in these posts?

As many moderators and Sr Moderators have stated countless times, donator perks are NOT going to be removed. How hard is it to understand this?

Donators keep the servers running, without donators, there would be no money to keep the servers running and they would go down, permanently! Now, no one in their right minds would want that to happen, right? So why complain about not being able to stay in servers because of donators when the other option is no servers? Doesn't really make sense...

Now, donators donate for the 'joining full servers perk', most of the donators won't just donate for the sake of it, no, they want something in return! Some 'clever' individual suggested that donators shouldn't be allowed to kick people in the last minute of lobby, now, lets face it, that pretty much defeats the point in donating. That makes these players pretty much the same just that they can save 30 seconds per game, no, donators want to join servers, not just so that they don't get kicked, but also so that they save time for themselves!

As most of you probably realise,matches e servers cost a lot of money to run (I think it's like 1$/US slot, 1$/CA slot, 2$/EU slot and 3$/AU slot, but don't quote me on this). People, do you think Chad has this much money to spend every month?, yes, every month, I don't, no offence, and the donators are the servers' only hope.

If you have problems with getting kicked, follow these steps:
1) Join higher numbered servers, they tend to have less donators, these are
EU35-50
US30-40
CA9-12
AU9-12
2) Join the game by refreshing your server tab and click join server when it says "Cleanup 3 seconds", believe it or not, you make it in after Cleanup generally and are, most of the time, 1st or 2nd in.

TL;DR: Stop these useless threads.

I did make a rant about this, but I have developed some strategies to get in, and I usually play every game now. Might post a thread about it.

Sorry incon, but this thread has been repeated a million times.
There's no point ranting about rants that have already been ranted about.

Rant-ception.

Maybe we can all just stop talking about anything donator privilege-related (AKA being kicked). They always seem to start unnecessary flame wars.
