PLease fix bee spawns on scorched.. we cannot make kibble for decent taming.... also  since reporting cheaters on our PVE official scorched with rhynios, gigas and baryonyx met with a resounding "sorry we're not removing those" from your ticket GM's, how about evening the playing field and opening transfers ?  We've got constant duping going on now because they know they are getting away with it...

would it be possible to being able to join a server with premium mods even without having paid for them but only not being able to use them as for the Bob's Tall Tailes DLC because independent servers like me will not be able to add this kind of mods to their server since several players do not being not informed about mods will not want to pay for mods that will cause us to lose players that we currently have and that will cause us to lose potential future players

Dear Joebl0w13,
I apologize, I don't know how to respond directly to you like you did, but I simply wanted to clarify one point.

I think you didn't read what I wrote correctly or you didn't understand the meaning of the sentence.

I'm not asking to have all the mods for free. On the contrary, prenuim mods are a very good thing. I'm simply saying that it would undoubtedly be preferable and even more profitable for server owners, modders and players to implement the same system that the Bob's Tall Tailes DLC already has by ensuring that players who join a server who owns one or more premium mods does not have to pay to access the server. However, players who do not pay for premium mods will not be able to use the creatures/items from these mods. Exactly the same way as the developers introduced with the Bob's Tall Tailes DLC

this will allow the server owner not to lose players and it will allow players to
Those who do not buy premium mods from a server could see if premium mods interest them by watching other players who have paid for the mods play.

Most of my posts are with tongue firmly in cheek.

I see where you are coming from but from an economic standpoint, having just the server admin pay for the mods is like just having the movie theaters pay for the film but the people streaming in to watch it do so for free. It's not sustainable. The system they have set up now is not a modpass type of system where buying into one grants you access to all. It's like the app store, each pays for what they use.

my dear Joebl0w13, you still don't understand what I mean.

with the Bob's Tall Tailes DLC if a player wants to play with the DLC content they must pay but they are in no way obliged to pay to be able to play on the same server or other players have paid to have the content. Players who have not paid simply cannot play with the content and those who have paid can play with paid content. In my example it is not the server that pays, it is only the players. these are the players who would pay or not and those who would not pay for the product could not use the additional content but could join the server

the same operation as the Bob's Tall Tails DLC

I'm sorry, maybe it's me who doesn't explain well, I don't speak English very well

I too like consuming products or services without paying for them. 

To be fair, mopst other games have items some players bopught that cannot be used or shared by those fellow server players who did not buy, it's not a new idea.. see fallout/conan, am sure are loads more, this guy wasn't asking for the impossible
