Only because servers are a very limited resource...
Besides, they're not random people... They're people willing to pay good money for a server (15x10k@€1.50 = €22.50!)
If you can invest that kind of money, you either have very generous parents, or your own income, which usually means you're old and wise enough to administrate a server to the benefit of the whole community.
(Unlike what all these little upstart clans are doing now... Servers are empty half of the time...)
About the 'limited resource' thing... Why are there only 60 servers anyway? Is it a matter of hardware capacity? Because otherwise I'd suggest putting another 50 or so up and renting them out for 20k/two weeks. If the principle works for supermarkets, why not here? When combined with the increased moderation mentioned earlier in this thread (sign me up), this thing could be taken to a whole new level... (of both gameplay and income)
(my vision might be a bit colored from being turned down for a server rental on account of there being too many little upstart clans, but don't let that stop you from taking me seriously...)
