Well the part "pay to play" is not true because the perks don't give you great advantages in combat, yeah you can insta tp but how is that useful in arena? In the outlands you tp to save your precious life and loot. Just think of it, who would donate as much as me knowing that the perks only go up to 20$ ? Fine I knew that you would make them in the future but it will be a long time before it happens. I donated a lot and I won't stop, not yet because I LOVE this server and I want it to live on without having Ako to pay out of his pockets just to keep it going.
Your intentions are noble...
At least I think they are...
However, you seem a bit contradictory. On one hand, you're saying you're doing this for the server and to help Ako, but on the other hand, you're pushing for more benefits for something you did "out of the goodness of your heart and love of the server?"
If you want to look noble, don't keep asking. Just wait for them to happen. Especially with the host change and the plug-ins and everything else, the staff are a bit busy, so you just have to patient.
Good things come to those who wait
