Donation Perks For PVP?

Hey what's up Mumble, i couldn't help but notice you were having a hard time with this months server bill and i wanted to suggest some new features for the pvp server. Some of these have nothing to do with donating but i think will improve the server. Im not saying "take all these plugins and add them all to pvp" no, i just want you to take a look at these and see if you think any of them are a good idea.
1. To make the server more noob friendly i was thinking a /kit iron that you can only do once a day. Alot of new players dont like to continue playing on a server if they really dont have any items to start off with but a kit starter. This can have a full iron set and iron sword. Not game breaking at all.
2. GAlistener its a votifier listener plugin that allows you to give anything you want to players for voting. Highly customizable. So you don't actually need a votifier listener just this plugin. Can give XP, Money, Items.
Plus this looks a lot better in my opinion

3. Diplo's can have an extra /sethome
4. A Diplo Kit
5. Buycraft, That way you don't have to worry about handling every donation. And players will receive their donation perk automatically moments after they bought them.

6. You already have shops so don't think you would change back to the in-game auction, but I feel that you shouldn't have to buy a shop to be able to have lots of mums. With the auction everybody has a fair chance of selling items.

7. A shorter Cooldown for Diplo's.
Oh and by the way, a cooldown for warps like /warp head, /warp tutorial, and /ma spec, /ma join.
8. PvPTimer, New players upon joining have a set amount of time (configurable) that they are immune to pvping. They cannot kit players or be hit unless they do a command and turn off the pvptimer themselves. This prevents new players from joining and instantly dying to others and instantly ragequitting.

9. Earn XP in the mob arena.
10. A /warp pvp, Whenever a mod or admin have the time i think it would be a good idea to make a warp pvp for players to go and pvp without too many entities being in the area and causing lag like right outside of spawn.

I like all of this.
i would like to add the suggestion of some sort of PvP arena, with similar rewards to the mob arena where everyone starts out with equal gear. (no classes) This would allow noobs like me to get better at actual pvp without losing anything.
You could even give em the best stuff to fight in (pots, apples, full enchants) so noobs understand what they need to make and gather to be competitive.
A hunger games arena would also be pretty cool.
I like.
1. You do realize it will have an impact on the general PvP that's happening on the server.
'Iron newb' is much more dangerous than 'kit-starter newb'.
Also, you will instantly give the new players items that are worth much more, something that they are gonna lose in a diamond gang bang.
Basically feeding the 'good players' even more items.
2. "So you don't actually need a votifier"
"- This Plugin REQUIRES Votifier 1.8 or above!"
RRiiiggghhhttt, moving on.
3. I remember a discussion about this a time ago that ended in a 'no', but times have changed, who knows.
4. Better idea than the iron kit, but what should be in it? Be realistic with your answer.
5. We've seen buycraft before, our answer was: "Never"
6. The current shops ARE donation perks, though, a market that can flourish is good for any server...
7. I personally do not see the point of that, the cool-downs are there for a reason.
8. This is very interesting, it can indeed solve the first join slaughter-fest.
But it does not protect players from environmental damage.
If lava falls under environmental damage, then people will simply dump lava on them to kill them.
If not, then it is worth looking into.
unenchanted Iron is crap on pvp. If implemented the "good players" would throw it away and it would go right back to the "noobs" and the better "noobs" would farm it.
You say you want an economy...well on pvp there is no middle class. There are only those with top enchanted diamond gear and the dead. A once a day iron kit would help to make this middle class.
Note: if implemented be sure to make it impossible to convert iron armor to iron ingots. Otherwise the "good players" would farm the "noobs" for it.
I think iSolo is looking for a way to get people to donate. It is generally understood that PvP does not generate per capita the kind of donations that survival does. Is this the best solution? I don't know. But i think something needs to be done to get people wanting to donate on PvP.
3. I'm not sure if this would ever happen, but if it did, I'm sure people would donate out the wazoo.
6. It's incredibly difficult for players to sell things without a shop right now. I would fully support a return of the in-game auction.
7. A shorter cooldown would be kind of nice, but if nothing else, the no cooldown for things like /warp head needs to be addressed.
10. As good of an idea as that is, there would be many issues with actually implementing it.
Something tells me that Buycraft takes a portion of the money
No, Buycraft doesnt take anything but you would have to purchase like a Pro version of Buycraft if you wanted more features.
What i said was "So you don't actually need a votifier listener just this plugin." I Dont know if you are in charge of configuring plugins or installing plugins but im sure you know when you install Votifier you also need a listener to go with it. What i said was that you Dont need that listener that mutts has that rewards players with money, All you need is this plugin which is a plugin listener that rewards in XP, Money, And Items. Of course it needs Votifier, This is just a better votifier "listener".
