It seems as if there are no real benefits received from donating besides simply helping the server. I'm not saying that helping the server is bad, but I think there should be rewards...something such as double credits (no game credits...the ones for aesthetic purposes) or special hats/skins.

I think double credits would be a nice implementation because the grind to get 50k credits for a skin is a bit ridiculous.
 
But it's not a purchase which effects gameplay. I see it as a perk for donating - You still have to grind hours to get the skin regardless. I've played 1,000+ hours on another server as a mod where this was the system.
 
That would still be a purchase, it allows you to get credits at half the time of any non donating member, thus making it a purchase instead of a donation.
 
These are the benefits for DS on CS:GO Servers:

Custom Join Message

Private Supporter Chat = $ in chat
Additional Reputation Points
Colored Player Model*

Not going to lie, its not the best. I'd suggest making a dropbox over here for improvements:

I'M THE LINK TO THE DROPBOX. MAYBE CLICK ME?! I'LL SHOW YOU TO A PLACE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

There used to be double credits every minute (active and spectator) but it broke a long time ago in a galaxy 6 months in the past. Please note, we aren't going to implement "Pay to Play" incentives. Only stuff that: won't break the servers, aren't obnoxious, and isn't a in-game advantage towards other players. There is also different stores on every server, which as specifics attached to them. Like Jail only has chat changers + paintball mod. TTT has everything except for pets #GameBreaking. LMS is like Jail because it's a more competitive server. So what can go on every server is a lot different. Like I said earlier, if you have any ideas dropbox them!
 
As a supporter from before I was admin, I think that if you love the server, just donating is perfectly great. Dedicated supporters also get benefits on all eGO divisions so you aren't just getting whats on CS.
 
I've always said that dedicated supporter/donations should have a higher incentive.

If it doesn't hurt gameplay, and people are willing to pay a few extra dollars which will help the community, why the **** not?
 
I've kept my DS subscription going for about 3 years now I believe and have never once really cared about the in-game perks. I just like helping with keeping eGO servers and the website up and running.
 
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.

At this point in time the only reason to get DS is to support the community . Not the best perks.

Well from my point of view, Donating is a good deed, expecting something or even a reward from some good deed defeats the purpose of a good deed. just my point of view :D
 
It is hard to find a balance between offering unfair advantages and basic perks to supporters. In all honesty, if supporting the server/community isn't the main reason you donate, you're not donating to us. You're making a purchase. I don't have an income atm, so I can't afford to have DS, but I definitely want to support eGO as long as I can. I don't care about the perks. I will admit I thought they were better when you could have hats, and some perks make more sense on our TF2 or GMOD servers, but it's all secondary.
