Actually, we have 3 ranks under E+ so making E+ cheaper still gives nothing because they will buy VIP. Also, E+ seriously needs more perks because it only have 1 more thing than E.

Ranks [Cost]

I agree. The audience that PZ as a server is directed at is anyone from 7 to around 15, with the odd exception. People within this age group often don't have that amount of money to spend on a game, and a small community within that game at that. The elite+ rank is very expensive for the few perks it gets in my opinion. If we put the money spent on an elite+ rank into context:
[edit] I received a message today asking me whether I hated Elite+. To make this clear, I don't hate elite's at all, nor do I hate the server. Please don't think I do!
- With the money spent on an elite+ rank, you could buy half an iPad.
- With the same amount of money spent on an elite+ rank, you could buy 4 tickets to a concert (I used fall out boy as an example to do my research here).
- Also with the same amount of money, you could fund a well to be built in Africa so that people can have access to safe clean water.

I think what people are trying to say is that no one wants so spend almost 6x's what they spent for the minecraft game itself, for a rank in the game. Which makes sense, but there's other ranks to buy and if $140 is a lot to buy for a minecraft server, then either buy a lesser rank or just don't buy any. 
Well, E+s should have more perks because... 10 more hats in murder isn't really a good perk (I don't even really care about look in murder) so for the people like me, E+ is kinda not worth it.
Then why are you complaining about it? If you donate to the server, don't think it's just to get little gadgets that make you cooler, no, it's for the good of the server. That SHOULD be the main reason you donated. I know that's mine.
I did but still, i know that some people will buy E+ later for perks so that's why.
Also, what are the real advantages to buy a rank that only gives you hats while you don't want them? None.
Some people may just want to donate to the server
What is also wierd is that we shouldn't be complaning about E+'s cost right now because people that buys E+ basically just wants to donate to the server
I donated for all the ranks yet I bought Elite+ when it was on an offer so I suggest having offers more often so some people can buy it since half of the people are poor-ish
About donations... There are a TON of people with ranks, meaning a lot of donations to the server and money for the server. But with that, there is still SG that is offline, and only 4 active games. If the games aren't constantly being worked on and improved on, what is our money going toward (Besides keeping the server in general afloat)? *Not meaning to demanding or anything, if so, sorryy..* But if everyone is buying E+ not just for donating, then there's not much they couldn't get in Elite, and just buying that would be donating less to the server.
Due to Mojang's EULA we aren't allowed to give perks that are much more than cosmetic, even giving Elite's WorldEdit is somewhat gray area in the eyes of the EULA. We are trying to think of more perks for premium members, but it is much harder to come up with good perks for premiums than previous. It requires some very unique and ideas and also a lot of development time if we are talking about the perks in the degree that some of the larger servers have. We had many more ideas for the ranks at the start of the network but a lot of them have been shutdown by EULA. We will think of some more original perks for our premium members in the near future, because we realize that you guys want more perks. For now we hope you stick with us until we can do some really cool things for premium members, and we are very grateful to every who has supported the server, we could have not gotten this far without premium members.
Btw: This post has nothing to do with Perks only costs
I agree Elite+ is a little expensive however that may be trap in on itself. I'm sure with the Recent 55% sale on Ranks a lot of people have bought in or at least people who were previously thinking about would have. In Australia we have/Had{1} a store called Rugs A Million and just about every Week or so there is a "Closing Down Sale" where prices are "50%" Reduced the truth however is that the the Prices are at 140% (Or higher) of where they actually want to sell at prior to the sale. A good example of a server doing this would be Hypixel which has had 60% Off ranks for the past 2-3 Months {2}. What i'm trying to say is that ranks may be intentionally be placed higher to encourage mass purchases on sales{3}. On another note contradictory of what I was saying, it also would encourages a nice steady income if people rank up slowly so i'm sure that is another reason the ranks a placed so high.
{1}: Haven't seen any adds for them in ages, Maybe they did actually have a closing down sale who knows.
{2}:I only started playing on Hypixel like 2 months ago so I can't confirm earlier but i'm assuming it's not a new thing.
{3}:While this so far has not been the case Sales could be used to generate Income for Expenditures say server upkeep/ Salary & wages for permanent employees (One day!) if it is necessary.
P.s.. I love Capital letters i know they are in places they should not be.
P.s.s. Love the server, Also Ranked up from E to E+ and got my Brother VIP During the Sale and that's what brings this on

To be honest, I get that the servers getting more popular every day, there's a lot to cater for and mini games go down fairly frequently, so I disagree, but I do think some more perks would be good, but hey, that elite survival world's just around the corner!
I think that E+ should only drop like $20-$30. Why? Because if it dropped like $60 what would the others cost? E+ would (obviously) be $80, Elite would be about $20, Vip+ would be about $10, and Vip would be about $5. It would change all sales dramatically! And I'm following the price pattern. If it only dropped like $20, E+ would be about $120, Elite would be about $70, Vip+ would about $35, and Vip would be about $15-$17.50. Still following the pattern. It's a little change but it might make a difference.
P.S. Not sure how much you guys want the price to change.
