    Maybe some unlockedable ranks? to make sure that people who can't afford ranks but have truly worked hard get something in return? Maybe like ranks named or anything like that meaning you ain't new and you have actually worked hard in the game!

    If you work hard, you can trade your in game items with someone in exchange for a rank. Thats how i got all my highroller and skytitan accounts

    nope. As long as the one buying the rank goes first because admins can refund the transaction. If you trade the in game item first, and they scam, it may be harder to retrieve those items since mods/admins have to search for them.

    I'm not too sure about the idea of earnable ranks as skyblock isn't such as progressive type gamemode. Of course you can progress and become richer by expanding but it's not something like a prisons gamemode where you have a level to work towards. As Asivator said, you are also able to trade grass for ranks, perks and other things from the shop.

    No support. the TAB is already filled with many colours and ranks, more 'worthless' ranks are unnecessary. If you want the paid rank but cannot paid, you can of course grind for grass and buy giftcards for $1:64 grass!

    Neutral, I get why you want this but top voters already exist and it's fairly easy to get a rank from that. If this were to be added it would have to be *very* expensive in-game so the server can't pay for hosting etc.

    Ranks that you can earn rather than buy is a good idea. It would add something for non donors to achieve. At most it would be one or two extra ranks.
    One server I went on years ago awarded new players for doing a quiz on the history of their server and rules. This was a great incentive to actually read and pay attention. Another rank could be given for another criteria.

    I would love to see something fresh implemented like this. Support

    Completely agree. It's a good idea and actually gives players something certain to work towards. Support.

    Forgot to reply but I agree with Mai and Krissy on this one.

    I actually would love to see a rank obtainable by all in-game methods. Yes, you can grind grass or balance and then trade that with another player to get a rank from the store, but I`d much rather see something new added. Like Mai said it adds another end goal for some new players. The more final goals you can give a new player to work towards, the more likely they are to stay and therefore increasing our player-base as a whole. Something like adding a simple kit every three days and maybe a Chicken Disguise to give something fun to newer players

    I'm a greenie and I would love to see some earnable ranks.

    I would be super stoked for an earnable kit. Maybe not so much with chicken disguise (already got it like 8 times from rare crates haha). Maybe these ranks can be earned from active hours on server or island level? Definitely would give me a reason to grind for.

    Ah right yes forgot on Survival you can get disguises from crates can't on eco so always forget you can on the other. But same idea like a small kit and some other perk or two would be good : D

    I forgot to mention that having obtainable ranks doesnt stop you from grinding for grass to pay someone to buy you one.

    The perks you get from these ranks won’t be better than donor kits.

    The fact everyone can earn an extra rank means no one is excluded and the suggestion benefits everyone.

    Personally, this wouldn't be great to the funding and would make no sense. Think about the server itself if this was implemented. Nobody would ever buy ranks again. After this, the team wouldn't even be able to keep the server up with no money at all. It would also be weird seeing 832 Skyknight upgrades and 135 Skytitan upgrades. Oh, and this literally already exists LMFAOO
    Just grind up some grass or skybucks,
    64g = 1 USD (Skyblock Survival)
    64k Skybucks = 1 USD (Skyblock Economy, correct me on the 64k if I'm wrong.)
    Either way, these and gifting are the only ways I see to get ranks; through money.
    The economy in-game AND IRL for Noobcrew would be broken completely. And final message which seems repeated; all ways to get a rank is all through money. It's for the greater good of the server and Noobcrew himself. But you don't need to spend money for a rank. Just grind a ton.

    Read the comments above from Krissy and myself.

    The rank wouldn't be one that exists or better than any current one, it would be a new rank that would be worse than all current ranks and would only benefit people with new ranks. It wouldn't ruin anything that's dumb. It's a small extra rank that would give new players something to work towards before they spend they're money on a donator rank

    Of course players can still grind for donor ranks and buy them with grass if they wish, just like Krissy has mentioned.

    I just think that having obtainable ranks would be a good thing for both default ranked and donor ranked players. Donor ranked players would still be able to obtain the exact same obtainable ranks however Donor perks are likely to remain a lot better than the obtainable rank perks.

    All Skyblock has become about is having a nice island, making grass and selling items. Due to this players lose motivation to play more quickly. Implementing obtainable ranks is a win-win situation and gives both Donors and default ranked players incentive to play. It's a really good idea to reward players for all of their hard work without having real money involved.

    Okay, so what's the point of it? Downgraded Skyknight type rank where they get the tiniest kit and just a new color to their name? Then reconsider buying the Skyknight rank which would be just as bad.
