    Totally agree.

    I was sick of people not noticing when I put up auctions, Drop parties, and just asking questions in general. Maybe we could change this. Ever since I got donor (or more like Becky got me donor), a lot of greenies were starting to msg me for help. I always responded, whatever the cause. Though some memories come crashing back to me... and I totally regret them.

    I was stating the fact that greenies are usually ignored and tend to be thought of as less important than donors. Thank you for your opinion.

    Yes, greenies to have if hard. And yes there are some greenies who get accustomed and some don't. Thank you for your opinion.

    In my opinion, some are, yes. You have to do certain things to be noticed, eg: talk to people, get more into the community.

    There's always going to be hate or greenies, whether you like it or not. There's always going to be stereotypes, but there's a way to get around it. :]

    Most definitely, we could try to stop the segregation a bit by being nice to greenies and make them be in a nice environment. And then maybe in the long run we will minimize the segregation.

    That's the point when I as greenie think: What has this discussion even turned into.

    Donors sometimes appear more "dominant" because they are
    More active in chat out of 400 players, normally 50 are donors. The test are greenies. Do /list if ou don't believe me. Donors hae it harder, but they are the major part of the community. Almost all forum members are donors, but in game greenies are less noticed because they are not that active in chat. However, there are 350 greenies out of 400 players at least. Most of them are just not noticed

    Fine

    Not really neglected, also, if there was a conflict, no action would be taken without actual proof, two people arguing and having a side that adds up more than the other does not qualify as quantitative proof.

    People writing support on an application hardly means anything. Plus past discrepancies and problems are overlooked and dont influence the outcome of a mod app. There's a difference between who I am vs who I was

    Chat blends together, Half the time I don't read what donors say. And you're assuming because of the brains tendency to notice more vibrant things, that greenies aren't respected...? That makes no sense.

    You first sentence is filled with blind ignorance to try to make yourself seem all knowing in that area.
    Chat blends. I'm donor250, and have said hi and not gotten any back. You're making a ton of generalizations that aren't fully accurate.




    I'm kinda tired about people being so adamant about it being hard to be a greenie... I never donated to the server, if you actually watch chat, know the economy, and pm people to do deals, its not hard to work your way up... It takes time but not that much effort... smh

    I have an easy solution, come to org! I've only recently become a donor after being a greenie for a very long time. The term has never been used as a slur on org and everyone, regardless of rank, is treated with kindness and help is always offered when needed. Some of our richest and most liked players are also greenies :)

    Greenbeans are my best customers. I don't usually ignore them unless they get on my nerves.

    People don't tend to trust Greenies as much as donors as donors have paid and I'm pretty sure they don't want to be banned, however Greenies haven't paid so they are less ticked off about being banned. I was recently scammed by a greenie (120 Dias) and I never saw the fellow kid again. I halfly agree with this and half don't as people pay to get the rank to be noticed and for kits etc.

    Basically donors and greenbeans are the same, except donors have extra commands and are noticed more in chat. But honestly I swear half of the donor population thinks that just because they've payed money to the server that they're better than everyone else. I'm not saying that all donors do this, but I can write half a page of names out of people who do.

    I am also a greenie but still have more ingame money than a lot of donors. This is mainly because I don't sell banners like your typical greenie. xD
    I do think that greenies need to be noticed in chat!

    I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do about this rankism. (rank racism :p) People will always look down on greenbeans as if they're nothing but desperate trash. I love greenbeans as they taste delicious :t.
    Greenbeans literally treat Skygods like literal gods. :p
    Nothing we can do to stop rankism, if anyone has any ideas, just share it :p

    CJ_Plays_Games don't you do "Play to win" instead of "Pay to win"? :p

    You have a point.
    But, that isn't always the case. Greenies sometimes don't get noticed because of how fast chat is going. It is also easier to see donor tags. It's even harder to notice greenies when the chat is only filled with green names.
    Also, the part about people believing/not believing donors/greenies is not a general thing. It is based on each person and how they see things. Some might always just believe donors, whereas others listen to and look at both sides of the story.
    Even though this thread does give out huge points, the entire thread is based on something general, whereas in reality it is based on everyone personally. Some notice greenies, some don't. In my opinion, it's not their fault if they do not notice these green tags/messages. I'm sure there are many, many people who respect both donors and default ranked players.

    Putting it this way non donors have nothing to lose really. This is what makes them more inclined to do things that are illegal. But not only this a lot of new players also do not read the rules and don't know where to get them. A lot of non donors are very young kids who cannot afford ranks or their parents won't buy. And here is where non donors start getting a bad name.
    This is not to say that donors don't do the same things but it is less common due to players being slightly older in this category, they have spent real money and most likely don't want to lose their investment. They may have more knowledge of the server and in turn break the major rules less.

    The one thing I stand by is there will never be a way to stop the non donors from doing the things that give the rest a bad name. Non donors will not be equal to donors. It is just like in society there are those who are starting to become equal, but some are just more equal than others (Animal Farm whoop).

    Instead we can attempt to treat non donors with respect and treat each like an individual rather than judge them collectively. But more importantly it is just not non donors who should be respected.
    But remembering that respect is earned so a non donor who is doing respectable things will gain it. A donor who acts poorly will not gain respect.

    tl;dr? Every person in any rank should not be defined by their rank, rather if they deserve respect, they will earn it.
