I can elaborate some more, but I’m not saying that using the things I stated in the post make your server instantly bad, I’m saying that when servers use the same cookie cutter design which is composed of lazy stereotypical gameplay usually following the gamemodes I stated.
People need to stop making unoriginal servers.

I do see a lot of servers advertising exclusive functionality, though generally speaking, this is some plugin that they've coded or some skript they've done to implement something like custom warps. What makes that claim false because it exists everywhere.
I would say the essential plugins are perfectly alright to use (we all use them anyway) though adding some actual custom functions, such as MMO progressive features (like Hypixel skyblock collections) would help you stand out more and also keep players engaged, having them feel like they are progressing is key.
If you are low on budget, learn to code yourself, (this goes to everyone>) just don't put a half-assed effort into researching, learning, building & programming your server, plugins etc, treat it like a business as such and respect it because your aim is to make money in the end while providing the core experience you desire to provide to players and not respecting that and treating it well will lead you on the path to failure.

You're probably never going to run a successful business and work a 9-5 job all your life.
What's trending right now is things like skyblock, kit pvp, (all the "generic" things you named), and if you want to get money out of your server (which is what 99% of the people make servers for), then you have to follow the trend. Servers that try to be "unique" and think they'll get more players because of it are just blind and plain out stupid. The only way to make a server pop with some "uniqueness" to it is if the advertisement is done correctly and consistently. That's all that matters.
Oh, and making your server pay to win isn't stupid, it's complete genius. Learn how to do business first (or actually make a SUCCESSFUL server first) and then comment on this topic.

You are really stubborn, aren't you? They break the EULA end off the discussion.
- let other people get access to anything we've made in a way that is unfair or unreasonable;
That's all p2w. Anywho, end of discussion. They are breaking the rules.
I’m not commenting on this topic from an owners perspective, I’m stating most of the things I’ve seen in servers theses days from a players perspective, and what I’d prefer them to do to make those servers more unique.[DOUBLEPOST=1565676877][/DOUBLEPOST]

1. Can be acquired free
2. There's literally one damagable item in the game, which are speed boots. Not only do nons get speed, but damage can't be taken on parkour, therefore the item should never lose durability; I'm pretty sure that this is in the wrong place.
3. /invsee gives no advantage because again, this is parkour, not a pvp based mode where knowing their gear before a fight gives you an edge over them. Once again, can be acquired for free.
4. Same as #1
5. Don't think it actually matters considering I don't know anyone that's even filled the DEFAULT vault and enderchest. Once again, this can be bought for free in-game.
6. Everyone has this
7. ManaCube builders made the maps and specifically designated them to be for donators. Mojang did not make the maps.
I don't see why you have to come in with the "disagree" reaction and "omg ur so stubborn i'm right ur wrong!!". Really looks like you can't handle losing Minecraft server politics.
But whatever. My point is not that ManaCube specifically follows the EULA. It's that A. There are large servers with serious EULA issues, and B. Making original servers is harder not just for brainstorming up a new mode, but also for creating new plugins, finding creators willing to play them, and not having any server searches on Youtube or server lists unless you become massively popular.

I'm in direct contact with Mojang community manager with other major server owners where we even actively discussed potential upcoming changes to the EULA. I am sure of my case. Also having invested thousands into a server of my own I know my shit.
But yes, you're stubborn and I don't care.
Even handing out kits which the server does is forbidden. Minecube is the same as Viper.
Feel free to read this aswell.
I am not going to reply to you anymore though. Good luck! The server is p2w and breaking the EULA.
Literally everything you pointed out falls under gameplay "enhancements". It wouldn't be an enhancement if it was exclusive to donators, it would be an unfair advantage; but as you can get all of these for free without a rank, they are enhancements, as you're just getting them faster. Also, by this guys rules (who looks like he isn't even a Mojang employee? so you should absolutely not be going off this post lol), Hypixel is breaking the EULA by selling "coins", because as they say on their store, "gold can only be purchased here - it cannot be earned in-game." Point is, EULA is intentionally vague in most places, and very few servers care about it anyways as its sparsely enforced.
I want to see more opinions on this topic :/
Yeah, the eula has definitely done SOME work. some
