I do agree and support some/most of the suggestions made, however, there are a few things you mentioned that I wanted to comment on (if you don't mind, SORRY!).
I feel like an unban all is not a great idea. I know that they'd keep Blacklisted Players banned (obviously, lol) - but, I don't believe that an unban all would be helping with increasing the Playerbase - just to bring back "active" and "OG" players. Why would they give players ANOTHER chance if they had already been banned 2-3 times before (just as an example now) or are known to be problematic? Yes, sometimes the decisions made may be harsh - but also understand why staff don't want to give someone another chance.
To be honest I think it's more about making the Gameplay more attractive, enjoyable and overall interesting for newer (as well as previous/older players) - in my opinion that's what keeps (many) players interested in the Server.
Technically that's what the QA Team is kinda for (not for the patching part obv. but I think you get what I mean), however, as far as I know the only members for KitPvP are Quick (QA Leader) and Niels - which are both staff, lol. It would be great to see more active/dedicated players added to the QA KitPvP Team.

For the QA team however, I am not sure if the two players Niels and Quick have the time to spend on looking for bugs since they help moderate the server which is why I know it sounds stupid but I know a lot of great bug finders since the 5 of us have been banned for using something of sort : Kuqn (me), aleksi, and then possibly Cibr Camon and Triece who would enjoy a second shot to show you what they can do for the server.
As you know most of the 5 I have named have a pretty big group or "following" and you have seen what we could do on resets of kit. We had an unspokenable amount of players join the server purely cause we hated eachother and wanted to get the best of eachother. If some of us get unbanned and bring the teams we used to bring I see a huge comeback and revival of kitpvp.
