Reward for best Skyblock island

I agree, but in terms of difficulty, factions is on a whole 'nother level. Skyblock does deserve some type of payout, but it shouldn't be too high because SB is extremely P2W.

 

While having a skyblock payout would be great, it just wouldn't really fit skyblock well. Skyblock is much more of a peaceful server, and while there is competition, such as island top, it's not like you have to defend your island from people trying to break in, like you would on factions (although I don't play facs).

Additionally, it is true that skyblock is very pay to win, if you know what you're doing. Because spawners are exponential profit, meaning you multiply your profits every day, the more spawners you start with on day 1, the more you end up with. This means that just 1 good key can mean perhaps 30 spawners in the future, so really the only people who will get even close to receiving any significant payout are the ones that spend $300 usd on keys for the first day of the season.

Along with having massive amounts of ingame money generated, which can be converted into giftcards through irl deals, they would also get additional money from the server for being the top island. All of this money would just be poured into buying more keys, making them unstoppable every season unless they quit. For these reasons, a payout would be a fun thing to add but not practical, unfortunately.

 

In my opinion, skyblock is most definitely not p2w. They myth key prizes that are offered are pretty much useless except for harvest hoes. It’s all based off of who grinds the most in the beginning. My #1 island won season 9 and continue to win this season. None of the island members have put a single cent into this game. Also, both seasons we went against players who have put thousands of dollars into trying to win. Yes, i said thousands... On top of paying the server, there were also NUMEROUS island merges which was very difficult at times. This meant that islands that didn’t pay or merge had to do a lot more grinding. Overall, i agree with SquiggyAmy. Skyblock players do deserve a small payout, but definitely not the big payouts like faction. -HorsePoo

 

skybounds payouts would be hella gay.

unnecessary - sb seasons are longer than factions, because factions is based off real worlds, and really only 1 overworld, the rest of the worlds are just for land not for resources. while farms can be made in both subs, sb is more relient on farms. sb is longer because that is how sb normally is. there is no raiding or explosive in sb.
while sb is a lil p2w, so is every other subserver and minigame. factions is a lil different since that is the nature of factions in general. skyblock has events with mcc gift card rewards, maybe look into those on the community discord. also, you can make a community ticket to suggest more events to get rewarded more gc. not only sb, but other subservers.

you technically can get sb island top w/o spinning keys as you are given an island and the basics for farms. for factions, not only do you need to make a good farm nd have good eco, you need to protect your base and make repairs. sb doesn't have this type of trouble which is why i don't think sb should get a payout.
payouts for sb and other subservers has been suggested, and honestly i don't ever see another sub getting a payout other than factions.

my explanations might not be reasonablebut... just a small thought. idc what u say on how you maxed out your mom's credit card on myth keys. sb and other subs is p2w, but not worth a payout

 

Hey,

Coming from a Leader of the #1 island in both levels and spawners for over 4 maps, /is top payouts would absolutely destroy the mode. The seasons last far too long for any team to stay motivated for any payout amount, which doesn't help when the economy is based exponentially upon spawners. Your amount of spawners doubles every 45 days if you consistently invest in them, leading to (estimated) top islands getting 50k+ spawners. Not only is this hard to keep up with, but it is a pain to spend all the money on levels and manual labor.

Skyblock isn't made to be a competitive mode. You cannot do anything to altar the outcome of your opponents' growth; it is a competition of who can farm the hardest in the beginning, and who can have a more motivated team by the end of the map.

This also isn't competitive skyblock in the slightest. Doing so would require a section of the staff team (like Factions Staff) to not only create a Skyblock-specific ruleset, but to constantly enforce it for up to 8 months straight. This is a casual server where such rules aren't needed to keep a healthy environment. .

TL;DR - no
