Please hear me out. I have seen your comments related to the excessive demand from users for very little in return and the decision not to include velocity support. I see no place to support the development of your plugin with donations though. Are you accepting donations? Patreon, paypal, or an hourly rate for new features? Looking forward to your reply.

No, I am not accepting donations.

The problem with velocity is that it can be very random at times, making it impossible to come with a systematic solution to some problems. Plus it's missing a lot of API.

For such issues I need detailed steps to reproduce. People reporting issues have usually no interest to cooperate, see recent closed issues, where steps to reproduce are "a" and similar. I currently have one person willing to cooperate who is running Velocity and I was able to fix a lot of issues thanks to him, but not everything is fixable.

Regarding feature requests, I am looking to quit the plugin. Adding new major features like chat and titles would not only take a lot of time, but include new bugs that would need to be fixed, requiring even more time. I am still accepting minor improvement requests, but that's all.

I'm sorry you've had to deal with all that headache. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be. It's very unfortunate to learn you're considering to drop continued support for this wonderful plugin. We've used it for over a year now and have never run into any issues with it whatsoever. Which is a testament to your ability to design a high quality plugin in both design and functionality. I do hope you reconsider, but I understand and respect your decision. I am more than willing to support the plugin long term through donations and actually useful bug reporting. Thank you for your time.

High quality bug reports are always welcome, as vast majority of the time is spent finding a way to reproduce a bug. If working steps are provided, fix never takes longer than an hour.
