it has been really long since 1.9 has been released and no big server updated except cubecraft why do t they update and use plugins for 1.8 pvp if they want too?
Updating in some cases is a great deal of trouble, and I'm sure on some servers there is heavy resistance by players to even consider an update, plugin or no, elytra & shulker boxes withstanding. If that doesn't sit well with you (generic you, not the OP personally), it may be time to consider shopping for another server. Or if it *does* sit well with you, then... cool!
My concern for running older spigot code would be the lack of updates, bugfixes and security hole patching that might come back to bite the server ops and/ or player base. If I felt inclined to care about "old skool" combat, I'd use the plugin and keep my versions up to date. Updating 1.8 to 1.9, then 1.10 and keeping my server up-to-date is going to be easier in my opinion than having my server trashed because of a bug or security flaw and HAVING to update RIGHT NOW. But that's just how I feel about it running my tiny server. Your mileage may vary, and you may feel your player base has more say than you do as a server owner. But such is life.
Anyway, yeah... if you are not donating to the server you enjoy playing, shame on you. Even a little donation makes your praise more than mouth noises. If you HAVE BEEN donating to the server, talk with your server op. Don't threaten, be nice as pie, just see where it goes. If the conversation doesn't sit well with you (and you don't feel like your donations mean anything), consider your options. Shop around for another server that is worthy of your investment of time and money donations.
Or... start your own server and run it EXACTLY as you please with what money you have to spend on it. I did. I only have five regular players on my server including myself and my wife, but it's enough for me.
It depends upon what the plugin touches. I think Vault hasn't had an update since 1.7 until a month ago, and it should still work for 1.7+. I have no insight into Hypixel and Hive, but as a guess, I'd say they don't want to change anything until it touches the wallet. Touching ANYTHING will certainly touch the wallet. They are going to follow the money... and they should.
That touches the second issue. You don't need a credit card, as such. You can purchase gift cards and use them in place of credit cards for *some* things. What you need is a source of income, and if you are old enough to be on this forum, you are old enough to chase after paying work. If you can find it, you'll be ahead of your peers puttering around wishing they had a credit card.
I can tell that (especially on the server I play on) that we've updated to 1.12 but to do so we've (the Admin mainly) has had to REMOVE some plugins due to not being updated or has had to find alternative updated plugins that do not conflict with the existing plugins that HAVE been updated.
We're only a small server & don't have any custom built plugins meaning we have to rely on 3rd party ones & usually have to hope the developer updates them quickly (or even at all) - but I would guess the larger servers have dedicated programmers who can update the custom plugin fairly quickly
I wouldn't bank on larger servers having "dedicated programmers". A few may, but it's cheaper usually to just buy Premium Plugins. MassiveCraft has plugins, some they offer free, a few are "premium", and a very few they simply don't offer at all outside of their server. "MassiveCore" and all their plugins are kept up-to-date. I *suspect* the server is running 1.12.1. I'm unaware of any other server doing what they are.
I suspect the OP @27md just needs to go server shopping. The OP could look up what "big servers" are using the "Better Combat" plugin I linked to above and are running 1.12.1. That would be the best way I can think of to resolve the OP's question.

Depends on the server. Some of them may be using plugins that aren't updated, some of them are taking a while to update their own plugins, or mods.

and servers dont use mods because if they did you will have to use forge to get in
and if plugins are not updated can't they update it?
Some servers do use mods, and so do their clients.
Yes, a server cannot upgrade until all its plugins can (or they find alternatives)

FYI for server ops that don't already know:

But are plugins for 1.8 same as mod for 1.7.10 i mean ar plugins stuck on 1.8 or just servers like hypixel and hive dont want to upgrade
And i never donated because i dont have credit card and cant host a server for same reason
