I have no opinion either way on credits, as I don't buy anything, just donate all the credits away when I am done playing for the night... but I really don't see the purpose of arguing about whether or not it is a "purchase" because we certainly do push the sub as such for those players who want to jump the queue and not be auto balanced in Battlefield 4. I have only been in eGO a little over a year now, and am from the DOD:S division which had no in-server perks other than the join message at the time. I signed up because my family used to run their own clan and I understand how important regular donations are to a community. But I really like the end of round immunity they ended up giving us in DOD:S, jumping around making the enemy think they are missing and have bad aim is hilarious! Jumping the queue in BF is also pretty dang cool, I tried playing on a couple other servers to try out new maps but after sitting in queue for half an hour I gave up, I am glad I can always get on our servers. Regardless if the reason they donate is to support the server, or they specifically bought the sub for an in-game perk we offer (like auto balance immunity and jump the queue), the end result is the same, there is no sense in trying to argue that point.
