Hello ethsmith, plugin looks good but one question remains here.
On our server we try to setup a "rank - hierarchy" meaning you must buy member first before you can buy the next rank. Is it possible with your plugin to do this? buying one rank after another with a require sign or anything like that?-

Yes, dm me.

Having issues with LuckPerms and their promote/demote tracks. It keeps adding groups to the players instead of promoting them and removing the last group. Essentially breaking LuckPerms promote/demote system.

I will not help you or update the plugin because as far as I’m concerned this review doesn’t exist. Do what I have said multiple times and multiple other devs and send a PM.

Seems like your plugin is not compatible with "LuckPerms":

Simple plugin that still works, i use it in my server for progression and it works nicely. You do see signs of the plugin being outdated with certain commands but it works fine in 1.13.1
