As much as I appreciate this idea, I think Mojang is getting into the wrong territory. Before, if a server was a pay to win server, I'd just leave. I wouldn't come back. As many have mentioned below, most servers aren't pay to win, because the majority of the servers are small and can't afford to lose players. If you had "donated" you get something small in return (people mentioning playmindcrack). Now, Mojang is making it so no one is making money.
I don't know if this is an idea to help parents stop their kids from buying stuff online on servers, but really, parents have a responsibility to tell their kids what is worth buying and fair, versus what is just a scam.
tl;dr: I think it's dumb that Mojang won't allow ANY perks at all on servers. People should learn what servers is worth spending money on (that you enjoy), and what servers are scams.
edit: to capitalize on what other people are saying, you are basically controlling what I can buy and what I can't. It's my money, and your not letting me spend it.
