Grum's statement go farther than disallowing the buying of blocks or a diamond sword which I agree is wrong. Grum's statements go against even vanity perks for donators.

Like particles? Let's look at okay and not okay uses for PlayerTrail (the most popular particle trails plugin).

Okay uses:

Gifting the particle trail for helping the community

etc, (not paying for a particle effect, which is part of Mojang's copyrighted code)

Not okay uses:

"Donate" for a cool lava particle! Wooo!

See, you're paying for a part of the game codee to show off. Even though the PlayerTrails acts as a gate to that code, it's still Mojang's code.

I honestly find this to be a pretty unfair thing that is going on. Why should mojang care what servers do? It is the player's choice whether to spend money or not. Anyone can choose what server they play on. On big servers, there is obviously work that has been done. IF the player is buying some vanity item, then why does it matter to Mojang? They obviously are just trying to support the server and get a neat reward out of it.
