Yes.

They are trusted with water, which could be a HUGE pain to remove/fix if they griefed (Imagine a farm, you could wipe it out with 1 bucket, nevermind a house.)

And they also are looked up to in the community by members etc. They are the example setters.

That was my expression when I first saw your post. I read through it, and to tell you the truth, I really do wanna get that shiny title. I am going to donate this weekend, but even if I do get the customizable title, I won't be able to put my rank as 'Trusted'. Whenever I am talking or even near a Trusted member, I am in awe of them. I want to be able to be that person to be awe'd upon. I want to able to help out the community with water, and I want to be able to stand out from the members. That, my friend, is why I want to be Trusted.

Yes, I already know this. This is why I want to become a Trusted member.

In addition, and as mentioned, I'd almost call them a mini-mod.  You have a water bucket so, in my eyes, it's your duty to help out with the "I need water placed" requests in order to help reduce the load on the mods and allow them to deal with actual mod issues.  At least, that's how I look at MY trusted label.

It's just that, in my opinion and view, people are to be Trusted more if they donate then if they don't. Of course, the person may only get trusted a small percentage more, and it is up to that person to complete the task. Even if a person donated something as large as $100, they *SHOULDN'T* get Trusted. As you said before, that is buying the rank, and that's not good. A proper Trusted member should be able to help out on the server, reply to people needing help in the forums, and have talked over mumble to different people.

Not really, you just put a point of view into it. I agree with the rest of your statements, we're on the same page! :D So that is why Trusted is such a big deal. Not everyone has the qualities it takes to be one.

Yes, I know. Only the people who are really going to strive to achieve this goal will accomplish it. Even on that topic, in my opinion, if you are NOT trying to become Trusted, but you help out new players, you are more than likely to get Trusted.
