My personal view is that the moment any private server charges actual cash for anything other than sharing a rental if that’s a thing (some servers can be expensive I guess), then I would not play on those servers.

So saying that, my servers have cost me around £480.00 these past couple of years. A kid in college or someone not able to afford that would need to share that cost or just close the server down. We all pay for the use of Official servers via the cost of the game, DLCs and Bazaar ‘stuff’.

If players want a particular style of play that Official and other private servers do not meet can always, very easily, set up their own server and manage it (in the background preferably) however they prefer. This applies to PvP private too.
