What do you consider the fairest donation system on an Open Tibia Server?

Since i was working on quite some servers back in time and hosting some aswell(retired by now!) i always wondered what you players prefer as a donation System. So here is the question

As for my own opinion i will go with the "Premium without spell limitation for FAACs".
It is reasonable and fair and if players want to get deeper in the game or have some extra benefits/features they help paying the host which often costs 40€/month at minimum.

Regular "Premium Time" is not what id choose since FAACs are limited to a few spells which really sucks.


An itemshop with armor, weapons and stuff was never a problem for me, since i didnt want to compete with all the others that much. But i see that many people would want this and therefor it doesnt sound fair to me.

Now considering an itemshop just with gps and outfits and no stuff of really advantage:
I guess this indeed would be fairer than the itemshop with weapons but it is not fair concerning the hoster. I find such itemshops with just gps and outfits less appealing and wouldnt use them. So 9 out of 10 server owners would end up with no money and pay at least 80% of the hostcost themselves. Sure there are servers succeding with it like shadows but thats not the average.

Damon

Premium Time with some benefits for players (spells, towns, hunting spawns).

@sn3ejk
I see why you go with the premimum time but why would you limit FACCs to just those few spells they have ?
I would consider this a too big advantage and do not side with CiPs idea here :/
This is why id go with option 2 (check on it )

Personally (and i'm going to utilize this), I think donation gifts may be anything , as long as it fits a certain criteria. When making a donation gift, I usually go through this one particular process of thoughts. Here I will share it with you, I believe it will come useful to anyone who wants to create good and effective donation gifts that are fair and make everyone happy (tested 100% - click for full size):

First of all I don't think any kind of equipment should be for donation, all it shows is that some rich kid can buy everything and be the best which is just stupid unless it's just some kind of collectible or decoration. No equipment should be donations unless it's able to get in-game but even still, I still find it unfair because the people who donated still get a huge benefit. Second the actual effect of donations doesn't bother me as much but instead the price does. For example, if someone has 30 day premium for $5 that's pretty good. Now if someone has it for like $15 then that's to much and you're being greedy. The problem is most people forget what "donation" even means. It's when you donate to a server to help out with hosting or whatsoever. Now it's more of like a trade, here I'll give you 10 dollars if you give me this OP sword etc.. Shiva has a pretty good explanation and chart, I just wish more people use it/thought the same way.
