Scammer Paywalling Free Mod Content

[Yuritoke]

Person I know who plays Conan Exiles has monetized their Discord Server with Subscription Tiers trying to profit using not only Youtube, but using Free Mod content from Modders here within the community.

They offer the content as Perk items within their own created Conan Server in exchange for buying their Youtube content, herein lies the Paywall.

They do not own this content as its for the community created by the Modders here. Calling them out for essentially profiting on someone elses product, I was banned from their Discord for attempting to hold them to their own standards and abiding by their own written rules.

I have screenshots of this to prove my claims.

Is there anything more I can do?

No, I understand you just fine.

You don't understand me.

Stop. Play on a different server. The situation no longer affects you.

That server is not unique. This game is not unique for having servers like that. You need to let it go.

My point is that it's not uncommon for private server based games. The subscription stuff gives the server owner a financial incentive to make a solid server. After all, they can't get subscriptions if no one wants to play on it.

Do you know what is going to happen in reality? If Funcom does anything at all, they will just email the server admin to tell them they can't use mods for subscription benefits. Server admin will adjust how they describe their subscription plan in public channels.

No one is getting sued. The subscription plans aren't going to actually change much, outside of the words being used to sell them.

After all, the Admin can't "sell" modded items, but it's legal to "give" modded items to subscribers.

If you whine about "subscriber" then they switch to "Donation".

That's why he should just switch to a different server. It's a waste of everyones time and energy.

Change what you can, accept what you can't, and just get on with it.
Life is too short to worry about a server admin who may or may not be 'stretching' the rules.

Why do you even care? To me it sounds that you are playing on PVE server, so it really doesn't matter what server owner gives to players as a reward for donating money to run the server. Mods are given free to use so modders don't exactly lose anything, on PVE power levels between players don't matter and players who get modded items don't really gain any advantage.
It's common place to have such systems on private servers to encourage players donating money. If you don't like it, change the server, go play on officials, no admin abuse there.

to be honest im still trying to figure out the problem here?
if they are free mods then why not download those mods and use them?
its their server and if they want to lock achievements behind certain requirements they have that right, they are paying for the server not you?
possible solution...pay for your own server and do it the way you want or play solo with the mods your suffering FOMO from.
its really that easy.
