    Support, it's a nice addition to SB but it's not the main focus, so the reward shouldn't be so high.

    Support. SkyChat has given me and other players a crazy amount of money. You can get rich without actually playing it! Sometimes, when I'm bored, I just turn on autofish and chat while doing it, making it extremely easy to win SkyChat. Apart from that, I've found out (due to Bert's post and m0g in chat) that Skychat happens every 5 mins or so, making me not pay so much attention in the first few mins and making me be alert in the following ones. So yeah, Skychat is too op and should definitely be nerfed, or removed, as Krissy said.

    Support,
    The time should be randomized so people can't snipe skychat.
    I think the rewards for it should be anywhere from $50-$200.
    I would also like to see a limit to how many times you can win an hour if you can't randomize the timing.

    FULL SUPPORT!

    Even a mediocre skychatter such as myself has made more money on skychat than actually farming my island (I think). The SC is dominated by a very small percentage of the player population and is only really playable for people that have seen the words over and over again and camp out on the chat every 5ish minutes.

    A few great ways to change this, which others have already mentioned:
    - Limit reward to $250 Skybucks
    - Randomize the occurrence of SC to prevent chat camping
    - Make a cooldown on winning. Even just preventing more than 1 win in a row would help a lot.

    Thanks for all the responses!

    I'm pleased people agree with me.

    A response on this matter would be nice at some point.

    I've into just realized how much is earned with skychat
    Full support, $1000 when u win is way too much, maybe $100 would be good.

    Yep... It's pretty crazy.

    Doesn't seem like a change is in the works though.

    It's been changed! After I got 2 in a row I was told by the Skychat that I had to let others have a chance and was given a 30 minute SkyNerf until I could play again!

    Thanks Devs!

    Yea..

    30 minutes is too much for me, It should be 10 minutes instead.

    I'm sure you could modify skychat so that it gives lower and lower payouts throughout the day. (IE: if somebody wins once, they get the normal prize. if they win like 100 times, eventually they'll only be earning $1 at a time)
