Non Donators are more than capable of achieving almost every item on the server but it takes a bit more work than somebody who has helped with the financial stability of Varlyndria by donating. That's really fair when you think about it and your comment about "pay-to-win" is extremely unfair. Without help the server wouldn't exist. Do you expect to get on every server of emu and just play for free without ever lending a hand to the people who work hours to bring you the place? I've even donated to my fair share of emu servers over the years before I became a dev and actually had the time to play around. It's common courtesy and appreciation for the work that's put into it. Even with that said, players who don't donate can literally get all items on Varlyndria except 1 mythical item which is Tier 10 only. That's pretty fair! Now if donators were getting 100% of the best items and a non donator could never achieve anything close I could see you having some validity to your point but that's not the case.
Also, you probably played a long time ago before I did some major changes to the server which greatly helped new players, new drop zones for armor sets, new augment NPCs for low level progression, Bazaar gives plat for just being inside there every 5 minutes.. New players have it really good on Varlyndria now and progression is greatly improved for lower levels. Those older changes were simply growing pains and made the new player experience a lot rougher than I had wanted and overall was a rookie dev choice, but honestly I feel you're jumping the gun thinking I would shaft all new players so much over the course of Varlyndria's life.
With that said, I'm sorry you had an earlier (bad) experience and I welcome you back to try the new changes out.
