I don't agree with this.
Just because you have the higher paid rank doesn't give you more authority than the others.
It isn't fair to those who can not afford to give more than what they have compared to those who can.
Higher ranks get more stuff like gadgets and etc and I think even though it isn't much, it's still more than what the lower ranks have.
I think voting should stay the way it is.
Plans like this can backfire and cause players to not want to get ranks.
The same could be said for people who can only afford lapis rank. They can't even vote at all. As is I would never get obsidian rank because it costs half of what I paid for my pc to play minecraft and barely has any extra meaningful features compared to diamond rank. The only ones sticking out being fly in lobbies which can be fun and more daily rewards which become useless quick
