So you'd prefer that members don't get anything for being awesome and actually donating?
So... are non members not awesome? That's basically what you just threw there, donating is an option, it helps the server live and make profit, but it doesn't mean that members should be able to access more contents than others, or at least there should be a way for non members to get those items or access to those locations, maybe in a more time-costing way.
They should be rewarded but not like that, non members are possible future members, not trying to offend anyone but they and I don't want to be seen as less important, I think you can understand this point of view
You can purchase membership from other players with pokemoney, so it is available for non-members. I hope you understand this.
