    My suggestion is what it says. Premium accounts are great right? People are willing to waste their money just to get perks on a virtual website on the internet. Virtual or not, these perks are pretty awesome. However, I think it is unfair that you give trophy points for somebody buying it. What is the point in giving somebody trophy points for it, when they can name their rank whatever they want in the first place? I suppose it gives people an "incentive" to buy it, that is if they care a lot about trophy points. But I am suggesting that trophy points for buying a premium account be removed. Not everyone wants to waste money on a pointless account, and it's unfair to those who don't want to buy it.

    It's a way to say "Thanks for the donation!"

    but couldn't you say that the perks are also a way for saying "thanks for the donation!" ? Consider it from the viewpoint of someone who isn't a premium user.

    Well if you don't want to buy premium, don't. Nobody is forcing you to and it's donations for the server.

    Your points are a little unclear, but I assume your suggestion is "Remove the trophy points given from being a premium, as they get a new title anyway, and I don't want to pay money for trophy points".
    I personally think the amount of points they get is excessive, it should be 10 points at most. Skyblock is pay-to-win enough already. I don't blame them for adding the points though, as they're bound to add anything that will encourage people to donate.
    My main issue with this? Ranks on the forums from trophy points have always been something earnt, not bought. I don't appreciate yet another part of Skyblock becoming something you can cheat to the top with money.

    I mean, it's a perk of getting premium and I think it's a nice addition. No support.

    True. Considering the POV of a premium user that is valid. I guess I am just an individual who doesn't like pay-to-win style games and forums. It was already frusterating enough that skyblock the server was that way, making it a thing on forums just makes things worse. Though some people do like that style. This suggestion is an opinion of mine, I believe it could make things more fair to other players.

    the thing is it shouldn't be more fair to other players, the points are a perk of donating to the server, if players don't donate they can't complain about not having something like trophy points

    It's a way of thanking the person for supporting the website.

    but would it hurt your feelings if the only perk dropped were 10 trophy points? I mean consider all the other perks that go with it. 10 trophy points is pretty minute, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.
    See my above reply.

    You pay for those perks they aren't a way of thanking.

    good point. This happens to be one of my smaller suggestions. Another "I felt like suggesting something that I think would make things fair" suggestion. Besides, so far all I have is no support. I see all the no supports are also from premium users, coincidence? I think not.

    True. I guess pay-to-win games are as is. Once it's started that way, it makes no sense to change it. I suppose I have mixed opinions regarding this then.

    No support, the trophy point only gives us 5-10 trophy points that I bought but I already have 300 points that I earned in the last 3 years here. So its not a really big deal cause it doesnt give us a lot of trophy points already.

    I don't personally see an issue with it, all forum ranks can be obtained without buying premium. The only 'disadvantage' to those who choose not to purchase it, is that they will have to engage in the community more to be awarded those points - not a bad thing.
