    If you look at how the RuneScape community treats private servers, it seems to have a certain air of disrespect/disregard for the work that has been done to create them.
    Why do you think this is so?

    Built off of scammers, money hungry 'coders' with no real grasp of actual development beyond rsps itself. Cant really respect that.
    Maybe a select few that get filtered out from this.

    Private servers have a bad name because people have experienced private servers owned by shady people and people just using them as a get quick rich scheme. They are seen as a dirty and cheap thing that does not compare to the real thing.

    Perhaps this is an outdated view on the private server community.

    Could be, but a lot of people don't change their opinions easily and can get stuck in their ways. It's hard to change how people view something that is seen as generally underground and shady, even in scenarios where it's entirely honest.

    One thing to keep in mind is that people outside of the communities aren't going to know how much work went into getting to where we are now. They're not going to know about the different revisions of clients we use, nor are they going to know the history behind everything, how porting new features to the old engine took a lot of work to do it properly. They aren't going to know the context of anything either. They probably just think private servers are download and run thing, which I guess they are in a sense. I think a lot of people would have more respect for it if they were involved and knew everything that happened over the past two decades.

    - Kids who think they can download and run an rsps but change the client name and the rest of the server still has the OG source name on it.
    - People begging for RSPS services and expect them for free or to be done in a unreasonable timeframe.
    - OSRS Cash Grab Hype.
    - Any server made by PIM or bares the name SoulSplit
    - Servers being brought up and then left for dead with no updates after the owner decides they made enough money and let the community die.
    - New people in the RSPS scene find it hard to get advice and either get shut away or trolled on for not knowing about doors.cfg
    - '07Scape bs.
    - Matrix anti-leech exploit

    there's more but i can only think of that much
