There's a major problem in the MCPE server system.
Take a look at any server list, and there's no doubt you'll see tons of PvP and roleplay servers. This alone is not a problem, but when you go into any of these servers, you will see that many of these servers have the most terrible financial plan any server could ever have. Not to mention how illegal their servers are.
Another major problem with servers like the one before, is that not only do their ranks provide an unfair advantage to anyone with money, but they also violate Minecraft's End User License Agreement. Mojang was pretty mad a little over a year ago at the financial plans on Minecraft PC servers, so they denounced the financial plans of these servers, but made exceptions to the EULA to allow servers to legally make money to keep themselves running. Many of these rules have been broken on Pocket Edition servers, and it is unknown whether these EULA rules count on Minecraft PE servers, because Mojang Support is clueless and it's almost impossible to get contact with Minecraft developers.
Since Mojang stepped in and started enforcing the rules for Minecraft PC servers, the server community has improved and flourished greatly, and I believe it's about time that they enforce the same rules for Pocket Edition servers.

A "Donation Info" page I found on a random MCPE server's website.
