People play on a "PvP" server, To not grind countless of hours a day for 50% on 7x levels.
The reason you made the server 8x, is because you also want to make a profitable amount of money from cakes, Not for the best of the community.
If this server was a 15x+, then i could say you would make some money and it'd be a nice server to fuck around on. but 8x, while having a freshly 5x server, is one of the most dumbest things somebody can do.
