Introduction
I am a very active player in survival, and I see how large the player base can be. Survival definitely makes more money than some other servers, and yet it is the least cared for or worked on. We have hundreds of players who play, and most of them are donators or members who have bought something from the shop. Countless people have donated and attempted to have lots of fun on survival, which can only be partially completed.
Quest
Ahh yes, the thing every player has been complaining about for months. Whining in chat, complaining on discord, and ranting to staff. Everyone is aware of this situation, and how much of a pain it is. Why not do something? I know Manacube has been working on other projects recently such as Olympus but still, survival contains a large percent of server members! If the staff did something to temporarily disregard quest, like allow anyone to buy iron golems it would be fair and would make a great temporary solution. However no, they keep the scoreboard with quest and keep the NPC at spawn. They also include it in the iron golem spawner description to keep it complicated. It's gotten to the point where people are begging in chat for someone to buy iron golems for them or spamming chat because they are confused. There are many players like me who invest hours and hours into the server working hard to become rich and grow my party, but players who are slayers and can buy iron golem spawners aren't always online instead players need to wait hours until somebody is online. It also is very difficult to get our enchantments books! People invest and spend time making xp farms for books, and they don't even work! Instead, we need to do jobs which is a temporary solution.
Chat Problems
The spam on survival is terrible and very easy to do. A very odd filter, along with no chat delays. With a server, this large those things are necessary to keep the chat nice and neat. Now I bet the staff or common response will be hey, just let the staff moderate chat! Easy right? No, because the two mods are Speed and Rainbow. Don't get me wrong, they are great at doing their jobs and helping out. They just aren't on enough at all. In fact the only active mod I see online all the time is fishy. I've tried asking for help in /helpop and contacting him but not once has he ever responded to me. Another problem is /chatcolor and /color. Why is there two plugins for chat colors... One is for donators and one is for voting and other bundles but why make it so confusing for new players? I've always seen players ask and people respond with the wrong command and it makes everyone confused.
The Sell Wand
Ah, the so very expensive sell wand. Now let's think for a second, we donated for something. We gave the server money for a fully working item in return, correct? Not the case for the sell wand, because it doesn't sell some items that you can sell in /shop. That makes no sense to me because it is completely random and annoying. Just one example is when my friend and I built an auto wheat farm run by villagers. We can't stacks and stacks of wheat, and we can't sell them! The farm runs semi-quickly and it's a large chest so it's a real pain to go through multiple times and sell. Call me lazy, but I spent money for this and I expect it to work. It also breaks signs when you try and sell a chest? Again, not the largest problem but they are adding up.
Tick Speed
Now if you're a normal player who doesn't do Redstone, (Me) You probably won't notice this that much. However, my party has a lot of players who can do Redstone in it. They are always talking about how the ticks are messed up and how it gets them annoyed when they are making creations.

Reset time!
It is really time for a reset. The fact that whenever you do /rtp and end up right next to or inside of somebody's base and the world is almost completely filled is a problem. A reset would also be a great time to fix survival when everybody is offline for a few days! It would also be a great time to fix the custom terrain world which makes the building so difficult! It may look cool for inhabiting and living there, but when you want to expand and build the trees can take up to a half an hour to break! The variants of materials and structure also make your inventory filled randomly and a mess and it also takes a lot of time to destroy. A normal Minecraft world that is larger would be just as good for building and creating awesome structures. It would also be cool to start over with new people, new features, and a new map.
More Party Warps
Maybe make this a donation feature or something, or possibly charge a player a certain cost per warp, but I think there should be up to 10/unlimited party warps! Warps are an easy way to manage party land. The other day my friend lost 20 chunks of land because he forgot to set a home and there was no more room for warps! Usually, a party has multiple locations which can be difficult to manage so warps would certainly be very helpful.
Better Time Counter
This one is quite simple, and would involve just one extra feature. I think every time a player entires an afk state for more than 5 minutes or does /afk the counter should stop going. Many players AFK at there bases and it makes them seem like they are more active than they really are.
No god mode when fighting Zulrah
Although most donators would probably enjoy this, it just isn't fair to normal players. It ruins the entire purpose of a good boss to fight.
