New Rising/Legacy Spawns - The current spawn is simply too complicated and large. There are so many new players that have trouble finding their way around, and end up leaving the server. The good thing about old spawn is that it was easy to navigate. The current spawn is aesthetically pleasing, but doesn't function very well. I suggest getting a build team to build a new spawn with the community's feedback. Preferably a very simple spawn, like the one we had previously.

Agreed. Although I think that design shouldn't be excluded when creating a "very simple" spawn, clear arrangement is more important than looks.

Simplify the Tutorial - The tutorial right now is quite detailed and has pretty much all info about the server. The downside to this is that new players get bored of reading all this information, and end up quitting. I'm suggesting a new tutorial that is a concise version of what we currently have. Basically a tutorial with less information on each individual topic, and more generic information. A slightly tuned version of the legacy tutorial would suffice.

Basically agreeing here as well. I doubt most players finish the whole tutorial before becoming bored.
Also, it might be a problem that some signs are cut off with default Minecraft textures because the font is too wide. These signs are only readable with a smaller font like the Unicode font I use. The information is a little condensed, but still doesn't fit on the signs.

Town Biome Change Application - Most towns on the server are multi-biome towns. Some players would like to have a way to change their town to just a single biome, so that everything within the town (grass, leaves, vines, etc.) can look the same. Shouldn't be too hard to implement. Add an application for 'x' amount of ecodollars and then give GA+ the worldedit.biome.set permission. This allows them to do applications of this type while making sure they can't use other WorldEdit commands.

I can't really define my opinion on this one. on the one hand, I REALLY want it for Piville, no matter the costs. Nothing is worse than a freezing river that is not supposed to be freezing.

The bad news: I managed to corrupt (quite a few) chunks with WorldEdit biome changes in singleplayer.
The good news: This never happened when changing areas smaller than 2000x2000 blocks at once.

Organize the EXP Shop - Place the signs in a logical order, instead of the random order it currently is. Perhaps alphabetical or by classification (armor, fishing, damage, general enchants, etc.)

I <think> this has been done a while ago?

Have Water and Teleport Features as Resident+ Perks - We shouldn't be charging any money for basic features that are essential to gameplay. Why charge people to do something literally every other minecraft server offers for free? This just gives new players another incentive to play elsewhere.

Water is free as a limited version now.

Teleport is actually a 'convenience' feature. Vanilla servers don't offer anything like it - unless they offer vanilla /tp which can teleport to any coordinate or player without asking for the other player's consent. It is not per se a basic feature, but I agree that it should be easier to access.

I'm going to skip SG and economy suggestions because I don't really play SG and don't really pay attention to which method makes the most money per hour.

Replying to all the ones here that are remotely feasible.

Economy Suggestions:
Buff Fishing - Quite simply, fishing on ECC is a waste of time. There used to be a time where everyone fished because you could make a decent amount of money from it. Times have changed quite a bit though. Not nearly as many people are using their rods since they only make approximately $7000 per hour... and that's with the best tool (a star rod) and max fishing level. So here's my price suggested prices:
(Red = Current, Green = Suggested)

Fish: $10 -> $10
Salmon: $15 -> $30
Pufferfish: $20 -> $40
Clownfish: $25 -> $100

No change with regular fish since about 66% of the fish you get are this type, and 4x with Clownfish since there's only a 2% chance of catching one, so catching one should be rewarding. Now, instead of making $7,000 per hour, fishers would approximately make $12,000 per hour.

Buff Farming - Farming has always been one of the best ways to get money, however recently we have seen a large decrease in the amount of farmers on the server. Why is this? Well it's because of many different factors, but the main factor being that mining has taken over. No way of making money competes with mining, and I think that should change.

(Red = Current, Green = Suggested)

Melons: $1.65 -> $1.75
Nether Wart: $0.35 -> $0.35
Potatoes: $0.30 -> $0.35
Carrots: $0.30 -> $0.35
Wheat: $0.60 -> $0.75
Wheat Seed: $0.15 -> $0.10

@Nicit6 was looking into this

Abolish Nether Star Server Price - The price has always been determined by the market, so we don't need an unnecessary server price. No one wants to sell Nether Stars to the server when they can sell them for 2-3 times more in the market. Additionally, Nether Stars being sold to the server is unnecessarily printing money into the economy.

Already in the works, no eta.

SG Suggestions:
Nerf Spy - Change the length of the Potion of Invisibility in Spy from 3:00 to 1:30. A 1:30 invisibility potion would cause spy users to use their invisibility more strategically. For new players (and all players to be honest), not being able to see the person who killed you is the most frustrating part of SG, even more so than being killed by buffer.

Nerf Buffer - Change the Splash Potion of Regen 2 to Splash Potion of Regen 1, and change the Splash Potion of Healing 2 to Splash Potion of Healing 1.

With the new release of 1.9 these potions have completely ruined SG for non-kitters. Hit cooldowns majorly limit the damage per second a player can deal. By reducing the amount of effective health they have it makes it much easier for non-kitters to have a chance at killing buffer users if they approach the fight correctly. Buffer users still have their advantage though which makes this a win/win. If they get weak they can run away with speed 2 and regen some health before going into the fight again.

SG will not be changed. It's now a mature project, any further time we dump into it will be a waste.

Just an update, exp shop was done a while ago, unless @Nicit6 decided to change it again cause he didn't like the changes! XD (plus I think legacy still needs changing)

New spawns will happen in the future possibly, at this time our focus is elsewhere.

Tutorial is currently in the process of being simplified as we speak. @Server Admin 's and other's are on this.

Town biomes changes will not happen at this time due to a few bugs with this.

We will look into organizing the shops when we have some time.

Water and Teleport are currently available via the /buyfeature command. Feature boosters available to make this cheaper.

SG Suggestions will be looked at very soon as we will be changing quite a lot with SG.

Fishing has been buffed.

Farming has been buffed (melons).

Nether star prices will not be changed/removed from /sell command.

An EXP shop is definitely being planned. With the recent bad change to EXP we definitely needed to revert it and instead look for ways for users to spend their EXP instead.

PS: In the future please make seperate threads per suggestion, otherwise the best I can really do is give a general response like this. It's much better if threads are per suggestion so we can easily "Accept" or "Deny" them.
