I think there are two sides to this. On one side you have the people that have known the Patrons and know what they are like. The other side which have never talked to them and say they just waste money on a block game.
Personally I don't like to talk about something if I don't know anything about it. Id rather listen to what others have said about the topic. I haven not met every Patron on ManaCube however the Patron that I have talked to all seem to be really nice and seem like they really enjoy the server which is why they spent so much money.
Overall I'd say that all the Patons that I have talked to seem to be genuinely nice people. They seem like they want to help the server and make it better for theirs and everyone elses enjoyment.
