What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
I would like to clarify first of all that I am against P2W features, which give blatant advantages to people who spend money on servers. It ruins the gamestyle, speeds up progression without experience, and just in general makes the server unplayable. On the other hand there are QOL features. Stuff that makes life easier, without necessarily blocking something with a paywall.
This suggestion would add a few more perks to VIP roles.
Examples of stuff that could be added are:
Feel free to suggest any changes to perks / mention any ways it can be abused.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I am not aware of anyone else suggesting something similar.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Encourages people to purchase VP using in game money, or to purchase VP as is to unlock QOL Perks.
Adds QOL features which makes gameplay less 'finicky' and focusing on what matters instead of, e.g., running halfway accross the map to access your inventory.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Could be viewed as P2W, which is why the QOL features will require cooldowns, or other aspects to make them not as overpowered.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
At the end of the day, let's be honest: We enjoy this server, this community and everything formed by it. While a paywall for a rank unlocking a QOL feature may not be something you desire, the server doesn't just magically run itself. There are thousands of pounds invested into keeping the server stable and running, paying developers, putting food on the table for the owner and his family, keeping the server online and alive. Having more money diverted towards server income allows them to make server upgrades, increasing performance and decreasing ping for you.
Another thing to mention is that the reason some people do end up applying for either staff or gamemaster is access to these perks. You may or may not know, but staff are given XK-Class perks for being GM or TMOD+.
Update:
Removed Pac-3,
Added clarification regarding /stash,
Clarified NOT ONLY FOR XK-VIP,
Added Anti-P2W Feature > Purchasable perks with in-game currency.

This suggestion would add a few more perks to VIP roles.
Examples of stuff that could be added are:
/Stash:
Allows users with certain VIP levels to access their stash from afar using a command. While this may seem a bit too overpowered, it could be made more equal and fair by having a cooldown on the command, possibly approx. 5-10 minutes. This means that a person will not be able to constantly access their stash and will have to decide whether or not it is more time efficient to run towards a stash (that could take a couple minutes) or wait out the timer.
Would be limited to certain jobs, e.g., Foundation jobs holding clearance 2 and above (Excludes Class-D). Chaos insurgency jobs holding clearance 4 and above. GOC Jobs holding clearance 4 and above.

Renaming Stash:
Renaming stashes is something that is more of a vanity perk than anything else. It allows for organization of stashes for people who have more slots than others, renaming each slot to something representing what is stored inside.

The purpose of this command is when someone spawns on low pop, and is instantly stuck because someone is standing in their spawn point.
Starts a 20 second countdown after which a player would become have their character reset (storing the weapons they had before in a hashmap), teleported to next to where they were standing (excluding outside walls). 15 minutes cooldown between command.

These perks are only suggestions. My idea is to not have them ONLY LIMITED TO VIP, but instead unlocked automatically by VIP. People might be able to purchase these with XP, or In game cash, Or VP, Or VIP.
Feel free to suggest any changes to perks / mention any ways it can be abused.
