Community Outreach

[Malong]

This also goes out to people who have played this mod for over 2000 hours and have donated 5 EUR once just for the status.

Maybe instead of guilt tripping and attempting to emotionally manipulate this demographic into donating more, you should look at the reason for this outcome. While donations should have no expectation of any return on investment, you know that it's not the reality of the situation for many people. You even link donations to return on investment saying that people wouldn't be able to play the mod at all, let alone with their gear. So now that we've established that donations are not always purely philanthropy (and they aren't outside of video games either), you should be able to conclude that they simply don't support the direction of the mod. Oh well, that's not a problem. Just appeal to the other demographics (particularly the fanatics) and subsidize the mod with their donations instead.
