Proper advertisement is a hard work?

Hello OTLand,
I've been wondering about one thing that I see in most OT server advertisements - english.
Why does this forum get at least one thread advertising a server, while it's written so poorly?

It usually takes less than a whole sentence to realize that the advertiser has no idea what is he saying, or he's usually not even bothering to take it seriously.
Yeah he knows what he's saying when he uses google translate, but.. please... eh.

But we can't forget that what he takes seriously are the donations that nowadays appear just as you appear onto the website - without even logging in! - BOOM straight "donate plx" popup into face

I'm not throwing every server advertiser here.
The ones that take the effort to make a good server will take the effort to write it as it's supposed to be.

I won't say who does it right. They know it.
 
You have to remember most of them are kids. Kids begging for money to buy CSGO skins, and resetting their servers every month to gain more donations. It sickens me to see OpenTibia transform into some begging, leech fest. This is not what I envisioned OpenTibia dying with when I retire.

Good news: Some "adults" will be releasing fairly big projects soon. ;) Hopefully they will see this as an opportunity to follow in our footsteps. We need to keep the OpenTibia legacy alive... We can't let it be devoured by donation-hungry children.

Also, I know plenty of people that take time to write their advertisement. Make Logos, Signatures, etc.
And the only reason they made the server was to get some quick cash.

Play the damn server. If it is good, donate, if it sucks, quit.

Who the fuck cares about the advertisement thread?
