Suggestion Premium plugins

perfect idea on paper:
developers get money in exchange for their hard work
server owner get high quality plugins for a fair sum

bad idea on practice:
developers set ridiculous prices for a simple plugin
developers sell a plugin but never actively support it
developers sell badly coded plugins for a quick buck
newer people becoming developers thinking it's a get rich quick which lower the quality
server owners get scammed by paying huge sums for a basic/badly coded/buggy pugin
poorer server owner cant get any decent plugins for free anymore because all the dev have now moved to paid plugin only
server owners sharing their plugin for free rendering it needless to pay, tho helping other owners on the way(they have 0 obligations to keep it to themself)

reviewers are needed to review the plugins to ensure there's no quality issues:
reviewers goes on strike if they dont get paid enough
plugin developer now only get 50% of the fee, 40% goes to reviewer and 10% goes to PMMP foundation
reviewers goes leaking plugins
reviewers use their reviewer's copy on their server
now we need to somehow ensure reviewers dont leak it or use it for themself without paying
we still need a way to define "reasonable price"
we still will have developers not supporting their paid plugins
poorer server owner still cant get any decent plugins for free anymore
server owner still can share plugins, unless we get lawyers and make them sign NDA, which means we need EVEN more money, making developer earn near to nothing

I can start selling plugins now!

 

Actually the PMMP team only maintains DevTools. Are you referring to Poggit Orphanage?

 

your reply make absolutely no sense
just because you cant code your plugin so you are against paid plugins?
>All should work for free while Server Owners make $$$$$ from selling ranks and dirt.
also a badly formed attempt at begin sarcastic?

 

If you want servers to be money-free, you should from the beginning tell the host providers (VPS providers, Minecraft hosting platforms, etc.) to provide services for free. And to do so, you must make electricity costs and hardware construction/maintenance costs free. And to have this, you must find us a cost-free way of generating electricity.

 

poggit is strictly opensource
and already struggling on human resource so i doubt they want to have to deal with another cluster f*ck of problems

 

it would be a good and bad idea just by existing

 

another possibility is that:
no profit from this license
you can use this for free as long as you dont directly profit from it

say there's X feature from Y plugin
if all Y plugin features are available to everyone
you dont have to pay
if some Y plugin features are only available to PAID ranks
then you have to pay

but it's still a hassle to verify
