Maybe this would take some diamonds out of the game. Instead of paying for donor perks with real money, players could pay for things like /fly or /enchant with diamonds.
Maybe this would raise the value of diamonds vs grass and give people goals.
The thing is, I believe the reason they have these ranks up for purchase is so they get money, which they then use to pay for the server, dev's, coders, etc
I'm not entirely sure, but what will happen is mojang is going to stop people being able to pay real money for ingame items, and this will mean that lots of servers won't be able to pay for the server, the coders, the developers etc
