You’re definitely right that Official is a different ball game.
The way I see it, anythign that doesn’t get you outright banned on official is fair game. Players wanted a Pure Unmoderated server. That’s what you get on Official. You can offline raid, you can foundation spam, and there is nothing stopping you from running other players out.
Thats why people choose Official over Private, so they can engage in those things. They ought not cry foul when someone outdoes them in it.
