Alright, let me try to break down every one of these things for you;
- Server Pricing
-> "having to restart my server every single time I add a plugin": That's not even the fault of Minehut; all servers require you to restart for plugin updates. You do have the ability to use /reload but that's buggy and not recommended.
-> "And on top of that there is ads.": Use an ad blocker.
-> "I could pay $8 dollars a month for 8GB of ram on another server provider whereas with Minehut I could pay $10 a month for 6GB.": If you don't like the prices, don't use Minehut. You can also /vote for Minehut every day to reduce the pricing per month (1800 credits/month for pro plan, voting gives you 300/credits per month, reduces the pricing by about 2$)
- Credit System
-> "Similar to gambling, you buy token to make you feel like you aren't gambling is a scheme that casinos use.": How are you comparing Minehut's credit system to gambling???
-> "And is Minehut using this trick as well to cover up their absurd prices and make you feel like you are spending credits and not money?": No. Minehut's credit system is in place to make it easier for payments. You can buy ranks, server plans, slots, and icons all with credits. Plus, as i mentioned earlier, you can get credits for FREE simply by voting.
- Ranks
-> "I should not have to spend 100 dollars a month for a rank that in no different from [VIP] besides being purple and have some more ads also particles I suppose.": The whole point for Minehut ranks is for the advertisement, not for the cosmetics you get along with it. Before the rank update, chat would be filled with unlimited ads by patron users and it needed a change. While yes I do believe the prices are a bit high, it should be noted that you should buy a rank depending on what your server income is.
- Cosmetics
-> "Minehuts one of many ways to get as much money as possible": You're certainly not forced to buy a lootbox to enjoy Minehut, I don't see how this should impact you.
-> "well when you phrase it like "Lootbox" it makes it sound worse than it is.": It is essentially what it is.
-> "$35 for a 30 lootboxes": You're paying the equivelent of $1.16 for 1 lootbox
- Chat Filter/System
-> "Why can I say "Damn" and "What the hell" but not "Crap"": Because those words don't really need to be filtered; if you were to make a list of all the bad words, those would probably be at the bottom, with that last one maybe being somewhere in the middle.
-> "please fix you stupid chat filter": It works just fine; if you have issues with it you're free to take it up in our discord.
- Connection With Community
-> "Minehut has never shined at community support at all these problems I've been describing are ignored and not given attention to fix.": We always take notice when we see someone talk about an issue they're having, though we're not obligated to inform you our opinions on the matter, nor what action we may or may not take.
