Since the pug system has been updated, I would say it will be a good idea to give effect modifiers to the map votes and buddy system for the pug servers as donation perks in order to encourage people to donate.

For example:

Donors' vote on map votes will be counted as 2 votes instead of one.

Donors' buddy/foe effect will be modified by 1.5 times. Of course RWS differences should still be lower than 4.

It would sure as hell be an incitative for people to donate.

I'm against RWS in principe, buddy/foe system made it way easier to stack sides (so would be even easier, with your suggested buff), but the map vote thing would be nullified if enough people donated making it a fool trap at some point.

But im pretty sure Bison will like and support this Idea, gonna be probably implemented in the incoming weeks.  

Pfft last I asked bison to add a feature it took almost half a year
