Has there ever been a good private server? Lol

Seems like every server is some donation swipe for gear or you log in as a new player and beg your way to BiS gear / leech party unless its a dead server with no active archons?

Then if it does have some basic progression a +5 55 set dude just perma 1 shots you in Ether/VC. Or they are full ele set while you have the stupid noob hp bonus accessories from the vote shop LOL.

If you look at some servers they make no sense for balance either, worse for Accretian side with no movement eles (unless you have engineer/debuff spammers).

No cross classes either, since they are severely gimped (huge support for chain ccs). Even popping a shield is impossible (lets you avoid solo griefers most of the time and walk away).

At this point servers should just stick to level 47 cap (bmau) to keep low pop/player interaction high instead of dumping beast mountain / elvan labs onto noobs. That way people still PL/farm and raid with sonars!
