In Kitpvp2, Kitpvp, and Oppvp its the normal things, in Infection you still have your /Rankxp kit. On the other gamemodes they removed the perks. I am not sure if i'm 100% right on this one.
A prefix and telling the world you gave a random bank account money for a random game. Tonne of prestige in my eyes.
It seems you're labeling ranks as a pointless purchase as the server was forced to follow the EULA and pretty much remove kits. In reality, it's not. All ranks still come with some cool perks and purchasing one helps the server stay alive. Mineverse is run on funding from the community and a lack of funds will kill the server. If you go to the shop, you can see what there is to gain.
Agreed, EULA SUCKS! Also a guess donator kits get...xp related stuff now. Also liked for moddedsupernova
