what is your opinion on it
pros:
-helps the server out with hosting
-get exclusive access
-usually some added perks
cons:
-when i donate i feel like i cheated a bit because of op perks like a donator pick that has unbreaking silk touch efficiency fortune at the highest levels and 5 diamond blocks
-if you get banned from the server kiss your money goodbye
-some of the perks on the servers are things i could do anytime in my own survival such as going to the nether
so what is your personal experience with donating
I like donating, its your money, you can choose what to do with it. And as for being banned and losing it.... The answer is simple, be a good player and don't get banned in the first place!
As said above, it's the donor's money and also their problem if they get banned. I have donated and received donations (for a server I ran with a friend) and I personally don't mind them, but I don't like how some people have pay to win servers... Not that it's my business to tell people how they should be running their server. Overall, I've found that donating is very beneficial for the server, and I believe that donations should be more for that than the perks. But perks make more money than the satisfaction of helping a server.

My server's performance and longevity would not be what it is without the support of donations from my players. Server hosting costs/domain costs/website costs/etc can pile up quickly and it's not money I have sitting around.
Pay 2 Win servers irritate me, take mega walls or paintball on hypixel's server. Donators SMASH the competition because of OP gear... But I can't really whine... They paid for it. None the less its still EXTREMELY annoying...
Only donate to servers that you really like, and feel you should support. Servers that give you TONS of OP gear really aren't worth donating to. Plus those are usually the shady ones that ban you. A few of my friends have been banned for no reason from these kinds of servers.
When servers give OP gear, it just turns into a group of guys in full diamond slaying people in leather and stone swords. It's sad, but a lot of servers do this.
I don’t personally like to donate because I don’t have the money just lying around everywhere. Although unless I really like the server, and the donation prices are right, I would probably donate to help the server out.
