If you dislike the server so much, why are you still playing on it? There's nothing forcing you to continue putting yourself through an unenjoyable experience.
Yes, there are many players who are either fanboys, toxic, or both. However, in my opinion, the kind players make up for it. Also, being a fan of the server's owner isn't a bad thing by default - it can simply become annoying when people spam the chat, which can be quickly and easily dealt with.
Every single server with every single gamemode is a cycle unless you are playing a story-oriented game such as a survival adventure map or something of the sort. On every single PVP server, you kill people over and over. That's what the server is. On any minigame server, you play the same game over and over. Repeated actions are not a bad thing - it isn't the action itself that people come for, it is the experiences within each individual action.
I agree that default ranks could get some better gear to be able to compete against ranked players. However, your final paragraph in this section is misinformation. You do receive updates, quite often actually. Just because new features aren't announced doesn't mean they aren't being looked into. Many tweaks and updates happen all the time. Neon works hard to improve lag issues, the reason you don't seem to see any changes is because as mentioned before, many things are minor tweaks and they fix minor issues. Lots of bugs and similar issues are fixed behind-the-scenes, not publicly. The lag issues are being looked into - it isn't like Neon can just snap his fingers and everything will magically no longer lag.
Responses to your personal threads does not equal reading and private discussion of those threads. You aren't entitled to know every single thing that happens within the staff team and our management. Just because someone doesn't respond to you doesn't mean they haven't taken into account what you have said. Also, the "even though we are right" segment of that header is extremely opinionated. You personally agreeing with something doesn't make that thing "right", nor does your disagreement make something "wrong". The management is not ignorant - many commonly complained about issues (such as the length of time it takes to handle blacklist appeals) have been discussed and are being improved upon. Once again, you can't make and spread misinformation based on your personal assumptions simply because you are not part of the conversations that take place within management. Nobody is forcing players to pay hundreds of dollars. Yes, it makes it easier to get ahead if you have a rank, however it is in no way required. The way this server is being run is not horrible. If you believe that to be the case, once again, why are you still here?
Once again, nobody is forcing anybody to pay money. This is an exaggerated statement that is simply used to paint Invaded in a bad light. As for the lack of time able to be spent reading appeals and buycraft info, these things are being worked on and improved upon. Management isn't simply turning a blind eye to these issues. As I said earlier, just because you personally aren't part of these conversations doesn't mean they aren't happening.
Updates come out all the time, they simply aren't announced. Take the trade command in survival, for example. It wasn't properly announced when it came back. The major gameplay updates come every six months as that's when the servers reset, so it makes the most sense to have major changes to the gamemodes at these times. The amount of time developing an update isn't what causes it to be released in six-month intervals, it is the cycle the servers' resets.
I will say this again: If you hate this server so much, why are you still here? Nothing is stopping you from simply moving on. If you don't like the changes being made, find a server that you do enjoy. All you're doing when you preach about how awful the server is and how much you dislike it / the way it's being run is making yourself more angry. Either learn to accept and adapt to change when it comes or find a server that never changes. I wish you luck in doing so.
Management has been listening. They don't have to agree with every single idea you present. If the "usual playerbase" are all people who simply whine and complain about the server and how much they dislike it, I won't be sad to see them go.
I hope that you can take these points into account and try to see where I am coming from. Have a good day.
