    So this is how you stop server hoppers/farmers

    If it's done RIGHT there shouldn't be problems. Sounds like you were on an abusive one doing it wrong. Use the existing weapons for example. Doing it RIGHT means that everyone can use the Mosin, but the VIPs can use the PU Scope on it. Maybe they are the only ones who can use the new .357 Mag at all, but everyone has the FNX. A server doing it WRONG would have VIPs as the only ones to use a gun at all. Like I said, you wont get that sort of thing until we can do mods to the SA servers. Making character profiles local to the server is the main bit to stop Server Hopping and Ghosting. It will leave people stranded for awhile on a server they may not like if they are too attached to their gear. You will end up with server communities instead of 1 giant DayZ community, which may or may not be a good thing.

    spawn problems

    Read the patch notes, they eliminated some spawns. Primarily East Coast spawns now.

    Then you find a new one. If people play a server, and they can come up with some idea to monetize it (like VIPs and Donors or buying minor items like a lot of MC servers do) to pay for the server, you will get some long lasting communities. I really don't see another option other than limiting your inventory to be server specific, which would be a lot easier for the entire character profile to be server side, so location, status, etc as well. Servers that dont treat people fairly wont last long, and people will get separated into their communities. The guys who want to KoS all day and hunt people will end up on those servers, and people who want to play friendly and just kill zombies will end up on those servers. Especially once mods come out for the SA to make it no PVP. I'm hoping someone makes one that just reverses damage on whoever shot/swung if they target another player.

    Hate to say it, but the best fix for server hopping would be taking a page from Minecraft. Put character files on the Server side instead of a large database. Now your inventory, location, everything is handled and specific to that server. No more hoppers, no more ghosts. Less things for the DayZ Devs to fix and keep track of because now the database(s) are handled by the server owners. People would still bitch.
